Numbing creams can be a controversial topic regarding laser tattoo removal. We dont mind anyone using numb cream but you must check all ingredients. Inactive ingredients are essential. Using creams with oils during laser sessions can cause burns and blistering, essentially frying your skin. It's important to use water-based, oil-free creams.


Do they make ingredients easy to find? Nope.

If you can't find the whole list, you can generally google the product's name and "inactive ingredients." If you have any questions about numbing or ingredients, don't hesitate to get in touch with us!


Below are some common active and inactive oils used in numbing creams:

⚡️ Emu Oil/Dromaius Oil: Often used to enhance the absorption of active ingredients

⚡️ Tea Tree Oil/Melaleuca Oil: Has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties

⚡️ Eucalyptus Oil/Eucalyptol/Cineole: Used for its cooling effect

⚡️ Olive Oil/Olea Europaea Oil/EVO: Moisturizing and helps other ingredients penetrate the skin

⚡️ Coconut Oil/Copra Oil: Hydration and antimicrobial properties

⚡️ Sunflower Oil/Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil: Soothing, anti-inflammatory support

⚡️ Rosehip Oil/Rosa Canina Fruit Oil: Antioxidants that aid in skin regeneration and repair
