How To Use
TAG #45™ Skin Numbing Gel
for Brows, Lips, Eyeliner & Permanent Makeup
At Body and Brows – By Alice Kingdom, client comfort is always at the heart of what we do. That’s why we proudly offer the TAG 45 Liquid Numbing (30ml) – a fast-acting, secondary-action anaesthetic gel designed for professional use during permanent makeup (PMU), microblading, and lip blush treatments.
If you’re a PMU artist looking to reduce pain and swelling while achieving flawless results, this guide will walk you through how to use TAG 45 numbing gel safely and effectively in your treatments.
What Is TAG 45 Liquid Numbing Gel?
TAG 45 is a topical secondary-action numbing gel that’s applied during your procedure (after the skin is broken). Its purpose is to:
- Provide fast-acting numbing relief for your clients
- Minimise swelling and discomfort during permanent makeup procedures
- Help create a smoother, stress-free treatment experience
- Support better pigment retention and cleaner results
Ingredients & How They Work
TAG 45’s formula is trusted by PMU professionals worldwide. It combines two powerful active ingredients in a convenient gel consistency, making it easy to apply and control during treatment:
- Lidocaine (4%) – A fast-acting local anaesthetic that blocks nerve signals in the skin, providing quick and effective pain relief.
- Epinephrine (0.04%) – Constricts blood vessels to reduce bleeding and swelling. This helps keep the treatment area clearer, making pigment application more precise.
- This balanced formulation ensures your clients enjoy fast relief and reduced swelling, allowing you to deliver professional, high-quality results with ease.
Beware of Fakes – Why Authenticity Matters
With the rise in popularity of PMU and microblading, unfortunately the market has also seen an increase in counterfeit numbing products. These fakes may:
- Contain unsafe or unknown ingredients
- Deliver poor or inconsistent results
- Put your client’s health at risk
- Damage your professional reputation
At Body and Brows, we take your safety and success seriously. That’s why we order TAG 45 directly from the manufacturer, guaranteeing you’ll always receive the genuine article.
How to Spot Fake TAG #45™ Skin Gel
To protect both your business and your clients, here’s how you can verify the authenticity of TAG 45:
- Check for the “4 Black Dots” Sticker – Genuine TAG 45 bottles include a small sticker with 4 black dots placed over the “4%” starburst on the label. If this sticker is missing, it’s likely a fake.
- Use the HiddenTag App – Download the HiddenTag app on your phone, select Scan, and place it over the 4-dot sticker. If the product is genuine, a verification image will appear. If it doesn’t scan or verify, the product may be counterfeit.
- Watch for Outdated Packaging – Authentic TAG 45 comes with modern packaging and verification features. If the bottle looks outdated or lacks the black dot sticker, it should be treated with caution.
When you buy from Body and Brows, you can be confident your TAG 45 is 100% authentic, safe, and directly sourced from the manufacturer.
How to Use TAG 45 Numbing Gel in Treatments
For Brows (Microblading & PMU)
Initial Pass With or Without Pigment
Create light hairstrokes or shading (with or without pigment) to gently open the skin.
TAG 45 Numbing Gel
ONLY WORKS ON BROKEN SKIN
Apply TAG 45
Dab a small amount of the Tag 45 numbing gel onto the brow area with a cotton swab. Allow it to sit for 1–2 minutes.
Add Pigment and Wait
Rub pigment into the brow and wait 3–5 minutes for optimal absorption.
Repeat on Second Brow
Move to the second brow, repeat above steps then return to the first brow. Dab clean, apply a light layer of TAG 45 numbing again, remove excess, and continue with your detailed passes.
Final Pass
At the end of your procedure, press in pigment and apply a final light coat of TAG 45 for 5–10 minutes before gently cleaning the area. This helps improve pigment retention and reduces post-treatment redness.
Timing Tip: Aim to complete the treatment with 1 or 2 applications. 1 is usually adequate.
