Everything you need to know
WHAT IS FEMME NUMBING CREAM?
Femme Numb Queen Cream is a clinical-grade topical numbing cream formulated specifically for cosmetic treatments. It contains a professional-grade numbing formula trusted by cosmetic professionals worldwide. It numbs the treatment area to significantly reduce pain during procedures like microblading, lip blush, lash lift, laser, and more.
WHAT IS THE NUMB QUEEN SPRAY?
The Numb Queen Spray is a fast-acting topical numbing spray designed to be applied during your treatment. When the cream starts to wear off mid-session, your artist sprays it directly onto the treatment area for immediate relief. It works through broken skin for rapid absorption — no waiting required.
HOW LONG BEFORE MY TREATMENT SHOULD I APPLY THE CREAM?
Apply the cream 45–60 minutes before your treatment. This is the minimum time needed for the active ingredients to penetrate the skin and deliver full numbing depth. Do not shorten this window — less time means weaker numbing.
HOW LONG DOES THE NUMBING LAST?
Femme Numb Queen Cream provides up to 3 hours of relief when applied correctly. For longer procedures, the Numb Queen Spray can be used mid-treatment to extend the numbing as needed.
DO I NEED TO USE CLING WRAP?
Yes. Covering the cream with cling wrap (plastic film) creates an occlusive barrier that significantly increases absorption. Without it, the cream will dry out and the numbing will be weaker. This step is essential for best results.
WHAT TREATMENTS CAN I USE FEMME FOR?
Femme is designed for cosmetic treatments including:
- Microblading and powder brows
- Lip blush, lip liner tattoo, lip filler prep
- Lash lift, lash line tattoo, lash extensions
- Laser hair removal
- Cosmetic injections and fillers
- Waxing
- Semi-permanent makeup
- Any cosmetic procedure where topical numbing is appropriate
IS FEMME SAFE?
Femme contains well-established topical anaesthetic ingredients that have been used in cosmetic and medical settings for decades. As with any topical product, we recommend doing a patch test 24 hours before your treatment if you have sensitive skin or known allergies. If you have a known allergy to local anaesthetics, do not use this product. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
DO I USE THE CREAM AND SPRAY TOGETHER?
For the best experience, yes. Apply the Femme Numb Queen Cream 45–60 minutes before your treatment for pre-procedure numbing. Then your artist can use the Numb Queen Spray during the treatment for continuous relief. They work as a complete numbing system — the cream handles prep, the spray handles maintenance.
WILL IT COMPLETELY ELIMINATE PAIN?
Femme significantly reduces pain and sensitivity, but individual results vary depending on skin type, treatment area, and the procedure being performed. Most clients report dramatic pain reduction — enough to sit comfortably through their treatment without flinching.
IS IT SAFE TO USE NEAR MY EYES?
Femme Numb Queen Cream can be used on the brow area and around the eye zone for procedures like microblading, brow lamination, and brow tattoo. However, it should not be applied directly on the eyelids or inside the eye area. For lash line tattoo and lash lift, your artist will apply the product carefully to the appropriate area.
HOW IS FEMME DIFFERENT FROM PHARMACY NUMBING CREAMS?
Most pharmacy numbing creams contain a single active ingredient at low concentrations and were designed for minor skin irritation — not cosmetic procedures. Femme contains a professional-grade numbing formula — a clinical-grade, dual-action formulation at professional concentrations. The dual-action formula provides broader and deeper nerve blockade, and the higher concentration delivers stronger, longer-lasting numbing.
