Topical Anaesthetics we know, it’s a pain, and it shouldn’t be. We still get questions all the time about sourcing topical anaesthetics or numbing cream in Australia for cosmetic tattoo procedures. Behind the scenes we continue to work hard to find a great long term solution for you.

THink MBC has been working with a compounding chemist to develop truly effect, and legal, numbing creams and gels. We’ve learned a lot, tested a lot, and we’re happy to share the results with you, our customers. We think we have the “Goldilocks Formulas” (not too much, not too little, but just right!)

Most cosmetic tattoo professionals are now well aware that the topical anaesthetics that are legal in Australia and work effectively need to be obtained from a compounding chemist. They contain between 5 and 10% anaesthetic (e.g. lidocaine (also called lignocaine), tetracaine, prilocaine or benzocaine). With less than 5% your client is likely to suffer.
