| Many
women are interested in permanent makeup, but wonder about how it might
feel to get it done. We want customers to be excited about the whole experience!
In order to minimize discomfort during the procedure, BioTouch has created
a 4-step, topical pain relief system: |
| 4
STEP TOPICAL SYSTEM |
|
|
| 1)
BioQuick |
| A
pre-numbing agent and the first anesthetic used before the procedure. Make
sure the area is clean and your guideline is on. |
| |
| There
are two ways to apply |
| |
1. |
Apply
BioQuick to the procedure area and wait 15 to 20 minutes. Wipe off and dry,
then draw your guideline. Begin procedure.
(Recommended only if you are able to draw your guideline within 5 minutes) |
| |
2. |
Draw
your guideline first. Apply BioQuick around the guide, not on it. This will
prevent you from having to go back and
redraw on the procedure area. Wait about 15 to 20 minutes, blot and dry
before proceeding to any pigmentation procedures. |
After
the 20 minutes, begin the procedure. May be used on eyebrows, eyeliner and
lips. BioQuick is a cream base, and can be
applied with a sterilized Q-tip or cotton swab. |
| |
| 2)
Instant Numb |
A
strong anesthetic ointment that will control almost the total amount of
pain. Especially designed for those sensitive areas
such as the lips, eyes and eyebrows while doing the procedure. Tea Tree
Oil and Aloe Vera have been added for soothing relief! Use repeatedly as
needed. Can also be mixed with BioGel to control trauma to the skin, or
swelling and bleeding. |
| |
| 3)
BioGel |
Helps
comfort the area, and has a coagulant to stop swelling or bleeding. Can
be applied as needed during the procedure, and
again after the procedure is over. |
| |
| 4)
BioCare |
Recommended
to client for use in after care. Contains an anti-herpes agent and anti-oxidant
to help prevent fever blisters, pain
relief, and to moisturize the pigmented area. Also has Vitamin A, E, and
Aloe Vera to speed up the healing process.
The SPF 15 is for sun protection. BioStick can be used on the eyebrows,
eyeliner, and lips after the procedure. |
| Additional
Relief: |
| |
| Celluvisc |
| Used before doing an eyeliner procedure,
as an eye drop and protective film. |
| |
| Bacitracin |
| Ointment used as an anti-inflammatory on the treated
area after the procedure. Not recommended for use around eyes. |
| |
| Essential Accessories: |
| Mouth Guard |
Used to prevent anesthetics from getting into
the mouth during a lip procedure, and helps to maintain firmness for more
accurate
contouring. |
| |
| Features
That Make BioTouch Anesthetics The Best! |
| |
|
Fast-acting |
| |
|
Made
with the highest effectiveness available without a prescription |
| |
|
Our
anesthetics are created through a special cold process instead of a heat
process. The cold process |
| |
|
is
better than heat because the ingredients are combined more effectively. |
| Important Benefits: |
| |
|
Some
clients may be more sensitive, excitable or very nervous. Once anesthetic
is applied and they realize it does not hurt, and there is minimal swelling
or bleeding, they tend to calm down. This makes it much easier to do the
procedure! |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
FREE
ADVERTISING!! If a client does not experience any discomfort during the
procedure they are going to tell their friends, family and co-workers. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Repeat
and referred clientele. Clients will hear of your pain free system and come
back to you for touch-ups because they will remember all the pain their
fist artist caused them. |
| Usage & Precautions
|
| 1. |
IMPORTANT!
Check the client’s medical history form to see if they have any unusual
allergic reactions to topical or local anesthetics. |
| 2. |
Most
clients will know what they are allergic to and can tell you. If there is
concern that your client is allergic to something, get a medical release
from their doctor, or don’t do the procedure at all. |
| 3. |
Topical
anesthetics are generally used for the following: to deaden the nerve endings
in the skin (which affects only the surface), relieve pain and itching caused
by conditions such as minor cuts, scratches, waxing, electrolysis, permanent
makeup pigmentation, para-medical micropigmentation, body tattooing, post
laser peels, and other pain sensitive procedures. |
| TIP-
You can include BioCare into the procedure price or have them purchase it
separately as an aftercare item. Clients who have had any lip procedure
done definitely need BioCare to prevent blisters! |
| |
|
| Most
Importantly |
| The
proper use of topical anesthetics can elevate patient comfort levels,
compliance, and cooperation, thereby increasing confidence in our products
and the technician! |
| |
• |
Do
not use anesthetic sprays or runny/watery substances that will drip into
and irritate the eyes. |
| |
• |
Skin
tests are recommended, especially for clients who are not sure if they are
allergic to something or if they have had reactions to previous anesthetics
in the past. A simple test can be performed on the back of the ear, or top
of the scalp, or inner corner of the mouth.
Scratch the anesthetic into the skin area with a one-prong needle. It is
best to wait 48 hours to see if there are any reactions. Skin tests are
not a 100% guarantee in determining allergy.
There is still a possibility of a reaction even if one did not appear when
performing the skin test. |
| |
• |
On
the Medical History form, also check to see if the client has allergies
to any other substances such as foods,
ester type anesthetics (Tetracaine, Procaine, Benzocaine) or amide type
anesthetics such as (Lidocaine, Prilocaine
and Dibucaine), preservatives or dyes, especially aminobenzoic acid (also
called para-aminobenzoic acid
(PABA), to parabens, which is a preservative in many foods and medicines,
or to paraphenylenedimiamine (a hair
dye). These allergies are especially important because if a customer has
reactions to any of the listed they are
more likely to have a negative response to anesthetics. |
NOTE:
It is very important to let the client know to always wear sunscreen after
the procedure to prevent fading and
changing of the color, but it is equally important to wear PABA free sunscreen
because PABA can cause allergic reactions
and the client will think that they are having a reaction to the permanent
makeup rather than the sunscreen. |
| It
is important not to mix anesthetics from different companies because of
different ingredients and the recipe may not react properly on the skin.
|
| If
there is any infection at or near the place of application and/or large
sores, broken skin or severe injury at the area of application, chance
of side effects will be increased.
|
Side
effects to look for:
1. Swellings that look like hives on the skin, mouth or throat |
| *It is possible that the
body may absorb too much, and although this is very rare, reactions may
|
| |
include: |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1.
Blurred or double vision |
| 2.
Confusion |
| 3.
Convulsions (seizures) |
| 4.
Dizziness or lightheadedness |
| 5.
Drowsiness |
| 6.
Feeling hot, cold, numb |
| 7.
Headache |
| 8.
Increased sweating |
| 9.
Ringing or buzzing in the ears |
| 10.
Shivering or trembling |
| 11.
Slow or irregular heartbeat |
| 12.
Troubled breathing |
| 13.
Unusual anxiety, excitement, nervousness or restlessness |
| 14.
Unusual paleness |
| 15.
Unusual tiredness or weakness |
| |
| If
the client continues to have an allergic reaction such as burning, stinging
or tenderness, skin rash, redness, itching or hives, they will need to consult
with their doctor. |

| FAQ’s |
Q.
Can permanent makeup and anesthetics be performed on pregnant or lactating
women?
Answer: Although studies on effects in pregnancy have not been done in humans,
there have been no
findings that anesthetics cause any problems in humans. Due to the lack
of research, however, it is
recommended that pregnant or lactating women wait for permanent makeup.
Pregnancy is very short term (9months), and lactation is usually short term
also, so it is best to wait in order to prevent any possible problems. |
In
animal studies, Lidocaine has not been found to cause birth defects and/or
other problems. Other
topical anesthetics have not been studied in animals. |
