Elite Numbing Gel is a professional 5% lidocaine topical anesthetic in a fast-absorbing gel, made to keep clients comfortable during permanent makeup, microblading, and cosmetic tattoo work. Applied mid-session, it maintains numbing while you work and helps reduce swelling and manage minor bleeding — so you get clean, precise, consistent results from the first stroke to the last.

Why PMU artists choose Elite Numbing Gel

• 5% lidocaine in a light, fast-absorbing gel for in-session comfort.
• Used during the procedure — the secondary numbing step, after the cream.
• Helps minimize swelling and manage minor bleeding as you work.
• Keeps the treatment area calm so precision and pigment retention stay consistent.

How to use

• During the session: apply to the working area to maintain comfort as you go, following your professional protocol.
• Label directions: adults and children 12 years and older — apply a thick, even layer to the affected area, cover with an occlusive wrap, and leave on for 20–60 minutes, then remove.
• Do not use more than once every 24 hours. Children under 12: ask a doctor.

Numbing gel vs. numbing cream — which do I need?
