Lidocaine Sprays in SMP: What Every Artist Needs to Know EP. 114

In this episode of the Scalp Solutions Podcast, host David Santiago takes a deep dive into an important and often overlooked topic in the scalp micropigmentation industry—lidocaine sprays. David opens up about a personal experience that changed his perspective on product safety, sharing a powerful story about a childhood friend who suffered a medical emergency after an SMP session.

David breaks down the key differences between 4% and 5% lidocaine, the potential risks associated with higher concentrations, and why it’s critical for SMP artists to be informed about what’s in their products and how they’re used. He also reads a direct statement from the FDA to shed light on the serious risks of improper use.

Whether you’re a seasoned SMP artist or just starting your journey, this episode delivers valuable insights that could protect your clients—and your reputation.
