Finally two anesthetics that really deliver results.

Permanent Makeup Now has added two new topical anesthetics to their existing products. Both are designed for pain management during aesthetic, piercing, laser applications, and permanent makeup procedures. For the first time ever, Permanent makeup now will now utilize new powerful formulas that will provide the comfortable applications that clients have been looking for.

Technicians and their clients want anesthetics that are safe and effective. And Permanent Makeup Now’s new anesthetics provide powerful relief .

DOTC Blue (3% Lidocaine, 2%Tetracaine), (Tetracaine and Lidocaine for Cosmetic Tattooing) is dermatologist tested and found to be effective for painful invasive applications such as superficial skin surgery, laser procedures and needle-stick applications. It is the one of the most powerful anesthetics you can purchase without a prescription. Great for permanent makeup.

PCG -- (pain control gel) is powerfully effective for maintaining optimum anesthetic benefits throughout permanent makeup and tattoo applications. It is specifically designed for use on all procedures after the skin is broken. Apply after the skin has been broken, wait 1-3 minutes, reapply occasionally throughout the procedure to achieve maximum analgesic effectiveness. Works like a dream on lips.

FDA Warning: Topical Anesthetics applied in large amounts,  Have Potential Life Threatening Side Affects.

The US Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory to alert the public to the potential hazards of using skin numbing products, also known as topical anesthetics, for cosmetic procedures.

These topical anesthetics contain drugs such as lidocaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, and prilocaine formulated in a cream, ointment, or gel and the FDA has approved these products for specific uses. Applying topical anesthetics for a medical procedure is usually done in a clinical setting by a trained professional. However, FDA is aware that unsupervised clients may apply large amounts of topical anesthetics to their skin. This application can result in high levels of these products in the blood causing life-threatening side effects, such as an irregular heartbeat, seizures, and death.

Topical anesthetics are sometimes used in ways not approved by the FDA and at doses that may pose a risk for serious harm to consumers.

FDA is aware of two instances where women, aged 22 and 25 years old, applied topical anesthetics to their legs to lessen the pain of laser hair removal. These women then wrapped their legs in plastic wrap, as they were instructed, to increase the creams’ numbing effect. Both women had seizures, fell into comas, and subsequently died from the toxic effects of the anesthetic drugs.

FDA also has received reports of serious and life-threatening side effects such as irregular heart beat, seizures and coma, and slowed or stopped breathing following the use of these numbing products. These effects happened in both children and adults and when the anesthetic drug was used both for approved and unapproved conditions.

PERMANENT MAKEUP NOW 

Permanent Makeup; Organic Ink vs. Metallic Ink

Permanent makeup, also known, as micro-pigmentation is a simple, non-surgical procedure where colored inks are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin.  Permanent makeup has been around since Cleopatra, but was officially started in the 20th century, by a well-known tattoo artist named, George Burchett.  Today, permanent makeup has evolved into a revolutionary state-of-the-art procedure that is medically accepted and proven to be healthy and safe for your skin.  Permanent Makeup Now’s premier makeup artist, Tammy Bratcher, prefers to use organic inks when enhancing the colors on the face, lips, eyes, and brows. 

            These organic inks are made from original formulas that reflect light, leaving a soft appearance that blends naturally with the skin. These inks are known for their stability, longevity, and reliability.  The organic inks are healthier and safer for the body and skin.  These inks are reliable and safe because the harsh metals, which typically are found in other inks, have been removed.  Once the metals are removed from the ink, the organic compound exists as a concentrated natural formula of color. 

Tammy stays away from the use of metallic inks because the iron oxides and other metals, found in metallic inks, are known to fade quickly and have a tendency to turn an unnatural pink, gray, or green.  These unnatural metals can cause various problems like metal absorption and potentially harmful allergic reactions.  When iron oxide or any other led based inks are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin, these metals are absorbed into the blood cells, and then interact against the hemoglobin.  Unfortunately, the body cannot differentiate between the iron in the inks and the natural iron found in the body.   

Therefore, these unnatural metals found in the metallic inks are reportedly absorbed not only into the skin but also throughout the entire body.   The iron oxide compounds that are found in most metallic inks are not entirely dangerous; the FDA has approved these inks to be used in different foods, drugs, and other cosmetics.  It is important to note that these metals are not approved for implantation in the skin.  The metallic inks are extremely inappropriate and potentially harmful when used in permanent makeup procedures.

Tammy feels that it is essential to use organic inks for permanent cosmetic applications, because these inks are natural, safe, and reliable.  Applying these inks to the skin, creates a natural shadow of color that mimics the natural features of the face and offers a safe alternative to create a more enhanced, healthy and youthful appearance.
