Q2: Is Zensa a good numbing cream?
Yes. Zensa is widely recognized as a high-quality topical anesthetic used by tattoo artists, medical professionals, and estheticians.
It contains 5% lidocaine, is Health Canada and FDA-approved, and is praised for being both effective and gentle on sensitive skin.
Q3: Do tattooists recommend numbing cream?
Many tattoo artists recommend numbing creams like Zensa, especially for clients with low pain tolerance or longer sessions.
However, some prefer tattooing without it due to potential skin texture changes. Always consult with your tattooist before use.
Q4: How do you use Zensa numbing cream?
Apply a thick layer of Zensa Numbing Cream to clean, dry skin without rubbing it in.
Cover with plastic wrap or a Tegaderm-style dressing and leave on for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove before the procedure and wipe clean.
Q5: Are you supposed to rub in numbing cream?
No. For most numbing creams, including Zensa, you should apply a thick layer and leave it on the surface without rubbing it in.
Rubbing can reduce its effectiveness and speed up absorption, leading to faster fading.
Q6: What is the strongest numbing cream?
Several products are marketed as “strongest,” but Zensa (5% lidocaine) is among the most effective options approved for cosmetic and tattoo use, especially due to its high absorption and low irritation.
Some clinical-strength numbing creams with higher lidocaine levels exist, but they often require a prescription.
Q7: Who should not use lidocaine-based creams?
Avoid lidocaine products if you have a known allergy to local anesthetics, are pregnant or breastfeeding (without medical advice), or have heart, liver, or certain skin conditions. Always consult a healthcare provider if unsure.
Q8: What is stronger, 20% benzocaine or 4% lidocaine?
Both are topical anesthetics, but lidocaine (4–5%) often provides deeper, longer-lasting numbing than benzocaine.
Zensa’s 5% lidocaine formula is considered more effective for procedures like tattoos, microneedling, and laser treatments.
