If you’ve been relying on GiGi Anesthetic Numbing Spray (4% Lidocaine) as part of your treatment prep, we want to make you aware of an important update: this product has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
Why GiGi Numbing Spray Was Discontinued
In recent months, the FDA has increased its scrutiny of topical anesthetic products, particularly those marketed for cosmetic and hair-removal procedures such as waxing, electrolysis, and laser treatments. Rather than reformulate to meet evolving FDA guidance, several companies—including GiGi—have chosen to discontinue their topical anesthetic products entirely.
This discontinuation reflects a broader shift across the beauty and aesthetics industry as companies prioritize compliance and safety under updated FDA expectations.
What This Means for Professionals
At Prestige, we understand how important effective pre-treatment numbing is for client comfort and procedural success. While the GiGi 4% Lidocaine Numbing Spray is no longer available, there are still safe and effective options to support your practice.
✅ Our Only Liquid Topical Anesthetic Currently Available: Vasocaine 
If you prefer a liquid formulation, Vasocaine is now the only liquid topical anesthetic we offer. It remains a trusted choice among electrologists, tattoo artists, and estheticians for fast-acting numbing during procedures.
💧 Consider Gel and Cream Anesthetic Alternatives
If you typically used GiGi’s spray for pre-treatment numbing, we also recommend exploring gel and cream anesthetics, like Topicaine or Zensa. These formulations are still widely available. Gel and cream options offer excellent control during application and can be ideal for sensitive or localized treatment areas.
