Numbing Cream for Semi-Permanent Makeup.
Comfort Gel — Platinum applied before your appointment helps reduce surface discomfort during microblading, cosmetic tattooing, and other semi-permanent makeup procedures. Targeted application, before the session begins.
Semi-permanent makeup procedures — microblading, ombre brows, lip blush, and permanent eyeliner — involve repeated fine needle contact across a defined area. If your practitioner does not apply their own numbing, Comfort Gel can be applied to the treatment area 45–60 minutes before your appointment.
Microblading and brow work.
Microblading, ombre brows, and powder brows all involve fine strokes or shading across the brow area. Applying Comfort Gel to the brow area 45–60 minutes before your appointment — and covering with cling film to support absorption — can help reduce the surface sting of the initial strokes.
Check with your practitioner before applying. Many brow artists apply their own numbing as part of their process and will advise whether self-application is appropriate ahead of your appointment.
Application tip
Customers preparing for microblading typically apply Comfort Gel across the full brow area, including a small margin around the intended treatment zone. Remove and wipe clean before your artist begins.
Lip blush and cosmetic tattooing.
Lip blush and permanent lip colour involve repeated needle contact across a sensitive area. Comfort Gel applied to the lip area 45–60 minutes before your appointment can help reduce surface discomfort during the procedure.
For permanent eyeliner and other facial cosmetic tattooing, the same approach applies — targeted Comfort Gel application to the specific treatment zone before the session begins. Always confirm with your practitioner that self-application is appropriate for your specific treatment.
Note: Most semi-permanent makeup practitioners apply numbing as standard. Always check with your practitioner before self-applying — doubling up on topical numbing products is not recommended. Carry out a patch test at least 24 hours before your first use.
