I ordered DOTC Blue specifically for use with a dermapen, a device that pokes 1000's of tiny holes into the skin in order to stimulate collagen. After applying it for 20 minutes, I didn’t feel a thing. I had tried using the derma pen several times but couldn’t stand the pain. I am glad I found this!

Switching over to Dr. Dixon’s topicals from Emla 20 years ago was a game changer for my business. Topicals around the eyes were burning my clients and causing corneal abrasions when people were compounding them unsafely and too high of percentages. Microcaine is pH of tears therefor no burning and as safe as tears! For eyebrows, I use Comort Cream or DOTC Blue as a pre-numbing, and I will go over with TAG#45 or Ultra Duration once the skin is broken. I won’t use anything else.

I use TAG#45 for all my painful procedures. I will use a buffing block to buff the eyebrows, then apply either Numquick Gel or TAG#45 and wait until the white edges from the epi show up around the area. I then break open the skin and apply a little more if the client needs it. I have tried other products but I always go back to these because they are so versatile, safe, and they are always consistent, I never have to worry about formulas or the strength being off. They just work!
