Anesthetic Chart

Dermal Source offers several unique products which, when applied separately or in conjunction with another, greatly reduce pain and aid the professional in producing the type of work desired. Our clients want to receive their procedures with minimal physical discomfort. Whether performing pain sensitive procedure, the need for safe, effective topical anesthetics is increasing.

To date, no topical anesthetics are specifically FDA approved for use in permanent cosmetics or tattooing. Use of such products is considered off label use. The FDA does not regulate the end-use of a specific OTC product. Users of OTC drugs (whether health care or other licensed professionals) necessarily take on the obligation of using them properly.

Use this Anesthetic Chart to help choose which anesthetics are best suited for your intended application. These are suggested uses, and most procedures require a combination of pre-deadening and during procedure anesthetics.
