What is Numit 5% Cream?

Numit 5% Cream is an Australian over-the-counter topical anaesthetic cream containing 5% lignocaine. It numbs the skin surface to reduce discomfort during tattoos, waxing, laser hair removal, microneedling, vaccinations and other minor skin procedures. Manufactured to TGA standards for safe self-application by adults.

What is Numit 5% Cream used for?

  • Tattoo and cosmetic procedure preparation.
  • Waxing and laser hair removal sessions.
  • Microneedling and skin needling.
  • Pre-injection numbing for needle-phobic adults.
  • Minor cosmetic procedures - mole assessment, biopsies (with practitioner approval).
  • Permanent makeup and microblading.

Active ingredient

  • Lignocaine 5% w/w - local anaesthetic that blocks nerve signals from skin to brain, producing a numb sensation within 30-60 minutes of application.
  • Cream base for easy application and uniform spreading.
  • Adult use only - not formulated for paediatric use.

How to apply Numit 5% Cream

  1. Wash the area with mild soap and water; pat dry.
  2. Apply a generous, thick layer of Numit 5% Cream to the area (do not rub in - leave as a visible layer).
  3. Cover with cling film (occlusion) to maximise penetration.
  4. Leave on for 45 to 60 minutes (up to 90 minutes for thicker skin).
  5. Wipe off excess just before the procedure.
  6. Skin will be numb for 1-2 hours after removal.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Numit 5% Cream take to numb the skin?

Apply Numit 5% Cream generously to clean, dry skin 30-60 minutes before the procedure. Cover with cling film for best penetration. Numbing peaks at 60-90 minutes and lasts 1-2 hours. Wipe off excess just before the procedure begins.

Is Numit 5% Cream safe for tattoos and waxing?

Yes - Numit 5% is one of the most commonly used over-the-counter numbing creams for tattoos, waxing, laser hair removal and microneedling in Australia. Always test a small area first and follow the application time on the label. Do not apply to broken skin or large body areas without medical advice.

Can children use Numit 5% Cream?

Numit 5% is intended for adult use. For children, paediatric numbing creams with lower lignocaine concentration or EMLA (lignocaine + prilocaine) are typically used under medical supervision before vaccinations or blood tests. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before using on a child.

Where should you NOT apply Numit 5%?

Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin, mucous membranes, the eye area, genitals, or large areas of the body (>10% body surface). Lignocaine absorbed over large areas can cause systemic side effects including dizziness, irregular heartbeat or seizures. Use only as directed.

Can I use Numit before waxing?

Yes — Numit is commonly used before waxing, including Brazilian waxing. Apply a thick layer about an hour before, cover with cling film, then wipe it off just before waxing.

How long before a procedure should I apply Numit?

Apply at least 1 hour before. Leave it on for 45–60 minutes (up to 90 minutes for thicker skin), ideally under cling film, then remove the excess before the procedure.

How long does the numbing last?

Skin typically stays numb for about 1–2 hours after the cream is removed, which usually covers a waxing or minor procedure.

How do I apply Numit 5% cream?

Apply a generous, visible layer to intact skin (do not rub it in), cover with cling film to aid absorption, then wipe off before the procedure.

Is Numit suitable for tattoos and cosmetic procedures?

Yes, it is used to reduce discomfort before tattoos, injectables and minor skin procedures. Check with your practitioner first.
