Leave it on, then wipe away
Leave the cream on for the period stated on the product instructions. This is commonly around 60–90 minutes. Remove the cream completely before the tattoo, PMU or cosmetic procedure begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers about application, preparation and how to use TKTX before a tattoo, PMU appointment or cosmetic procedure.
How long should I leave TKTX cream on?
TKTX cream is generally left on for approximately 60–90 minutes before the appointment. The precise application time may vary depending on the product variant and area being treated, so always follow the directions supplied with your product.
How should I apply TKTX cream?
Wash and dry the skin thoroughly before applying a generous, even layer of cream over the required area. Do not rub it in completely. Cover the area with plastic wrap, leave it for the recommended period, then remove the cream before the procedure begins.
Should I cover the cream after applying it?
Yes. Covering the area with plastic wrap helps keep the cream moist and prevents it from drying out too quickly. This allows it to remain on the skin during the recommended application period.
Can TKTX be used before a tattoo session?
TKTX is commonly used before tattoo appointments to help make the session more manageable. Tell your tattoo artist that you intend to use it and follow any preparation instructions they provide before your appointment.
Can TKTX be used for PMU or laser treatments?
Depending on the treatment and area involved, numbing creams are also used before permanent makeup, cosmetic procedures and certain laser treatments. Confirm the correct preparation with your practitioner before applying the product.
Is TKTX suitable for sensitive skin?
Those with sensitive skin should perform a small patch test before applying the product to a larger area. Do not use it on broken, inflamed or already irritated skin, and stop using it if an unwanted reaction occurs.
