Benefits:
The key benefits of Blue Gel, particularly in its use as a topical anesthetic for procedures like tattooing, piercing, and permanent makeup, include:
- Effective Pain Relief: It contains Lidocaine and Tetracaine, which are powerful anesthetics that provide fast, temporary relief from pain by numbing the area of application. This can greatly enhance client comfort during painful procedures
- Reduces Swelling and Bruising: The inclusion of Epinephrine as a vasoconstrictor minimizes bleeding, swelling, and bruising during procedures. This ensures a smoother process and potentially quicker healing
- Fast-Acting and Long-Lasting: Blue Gel begins working within minutes of application and its effects can last for up to two hours, providing sufficient time to complete most procedures without needing frequent reapplication
These benefits make Blue Gel a popular choice for professionals looking to enhance client comfort during intricate and potentially painful procedures.
Side Effects:
While Blue Gel is effective in providing pain relief, it may cause some side effects. Common and serious side effects include:
- Skin Irritation: Some users may experience redness, swelling, itching, or burning at the application site. This irritation could escalate to blistering or pain if the skin is sensitive
- Allergic Reactions: Serious allergic reactions can manifest as hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. If these occur, medical attention should be sought immediately
- Temporary Skin Effects: The gel may cause temporary blanching (pale skin) or cold/burning sensations, which usually subside over time
- Delayed Swelling: After the anesthetic effect wears off, delayed swelling might occur, though this is usually temporary
- Systemic Reactions: If used in large quantities, there’s a risk of more systemic effects like dizziness or changes in heart rate, though this is rare and typically linked to misuse
Users are advised to follow guidelines and avoid applying the gel to broken or irritated skin unless instructed to do so, and a sensitivity test is recommended to prevent adverse reactions.
