Complete guide: Cold spray Medy Spray 400ml
An instant cooling spray with a cryotherapy effect that relieves pain by rapidly lowering the skin's temperature — without pharmaceutical anesthetic agents, solely through the physical principle of rapid evaporation. It is widely used in tattoo studios for sensitive areas and long sessions, as well as in medical offices and sports centers for bruises, sprains, or muscle pain. The 400 ml can offers good autonomy in the studio, and the direct spray allows precise application without residue on the skin. It is a suitable choice both for artists who want added comfort for their clients and for professional first-aid kits.
How to use
- Check the target area: the skin must be intact — do not apply on abrasions, open wounds, or mucous membranes.
- Hold the can at a distance of approximately 25 cm from the skin.
- Spray briefly on the desired area, no more than 5 seconds.
- The cooling and temporary numbing effect sets in immediately upon contact with the skin — no waiting time needed as with topical creams.
- Work on that area while the effect lasts; it is short-lived, so coordinate the spray with the difficult moments of the session.
- Reapply as needed during the session, each time respecting the same distance and maximum spray duration.
- After use, store the can away from sunlight and temperatures above 50 °C, and away from any source of ignition.
Tips from us
- Strictly respect the 25 cm distance and 5-second limit: spraying too close or for too long can cause cold-induced injuries (superficial frostbite).
- Prefer short, repeated sprays over one long spray — you get the same comfort with lower risk and less product consumption.
- Use it on known sensitive areas or during long sessions when the client tires — it is not necessary over the entire work surface.
- It does not interfere with pigment retention and leaves no residue, so you can use it during work without having to wipe the area extra.
- As it is based on flammable gases (butane, propane, isobutane), keep it away from flame and do not smoke while using.
- Treat the can like any non-sterile surface in the studio: disinfect it between clients and apply without touching the skin with the nozzle.
Warning: Pressurized container: do not puncture or burn, even after emptying; keep away from sunlight and temperatures above 50 °C; do not spray toward open flame or incandescent objects and do not smoke while using. Do not apply on abrasions, open wounds, or mucous membranes and avoid the eye area. Spraying from a distance of less than 25 cm or for more than 5 seconds can cause cold injuries. People with high cold sensitivity or circulatory disorders should use it with caution. From a studio hygiene perspective, the can is not a sterile item: apply without direct contact with the skin, and wipe the can with disinfectant between clients.
Frequently asked questions
Does it contain anesthetics, for example lidocaine?▾
No. The pain-relieving effect is achieved exclusively physically, through the intense cooling produced by the rapid evaporation of the liquid (butane, propane, isobutane, with menthol). The cooling temporarily numbs the nerve endings in the area. That is precisely why it is a non-pharmacological alternative to traditional topical anesthetics, without the risk of allergic reactions to anesthetic substances.
Does it affect tattoo quality or pigment retention?▾
No. The spray leaves no residue on the skin and does not interfere with the tattooing process or pigment retention. In addition, the product description also mentions the vasoconstrictor effect of cooling, which delays the formation of edema and reduces the risk of bleeding — a practical advantage when working on sensitive areas.
From what distance and for how long should it be sprayed correctly?▾
According to the manufacturer's instructions: from 25 cm distance, no more than 5 seconds. Both limits are important — if you spray from closer or for longer, excessive cooling can cause skin injuries. If the effect is not sufficient, it is safer to reapply briefly after a moment than to prolong a single spray.
How long does the effect last and can I reapply during the session?▾
The numbing effect is short-lived — roughly a few tens of seconds, enough for the artist to work on a sensitive passage. You can reapply as often as needed during the session, provided you always respect the 25 cm distance and 5-second limit per spray and avoid prolonged application on the exact same area.
Can I apply it on already tattooed skin during the same session or on a fresh tattoo?▾
Not on damaged skin. The manufacturer explicitly prohibits application on abrasions, wounds, and mucous membranes — and freshly tattooed skin is essentially an area with micro-lesions. Use the spray on intact skin, before working that area, not over already tattooed passages, and not as a post-tattoo care product.
How do I integrate it hygienically into the studio workflow?▾
The can is a non-sterile surface, like any reusable container in the studio. Always apply without contact — the nozzle does not touch the client's skin, so the product itself does not become contaminated with correct use. Between clients, wipe the can with a surface disinfectant or handle it with changed gloves, and store it away from heat and sunlight, according to the warnings on the packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions How does Medy Spray cold spray work? Medy Spray works on the physical principle of cooling through rapid evaporation. When sprayed on the skin, the liquid evaporates instantly, producing a sudden drop in local temperature. This intense cooling temporarily numbs nerve endings, reducing the pain sensation in the treated area. Does Medy Spray contain anesthetic substances? No, Medy Spray does not contain pharmaceutical anesthetic substances such as lidocaine. The pain relief effect is achieved exclusively through physical cooling of the skin. This makes it a safe non-pharmacological alternative without the risk of allergic reactions to anesthetic substances. How long does the cooling effect of the spray last? The cooling effect of Medy Spray lasts approximately 30-60 seconds, enough for the tattoo artist to work on a sensitive area. The spray can be reapplied as often as needed during the session. There are no strict limitations on the number of applications. Does the cold spray affect tattoo quality? No, Medy Spray does not interfere with the tattooing process and does not affect pigment retention in the skin. It leaves no residue on the skin surface that could hinder ink penetration. Many professional artists use it with confidence during sessions. From what distance should the spray be applied? Applying Medy Spray from a distance of approximately 15-20 cm from the skin surface is recommended. This distance ensures uniform cooling distribution and prevents localized over-cooling. Short bursts of 1-2 seconds are sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Can Medy Spray be used for purposes other than tattoos? Yes, Medy Spray is a versatile product used in multiple fields. In sports medicine, it is used for immediate relief of pain caused by impacts, sprains, or muscle cramps. In medical offices, it is used for minor procedures. It is a standard product in professional first aid kits. Are there contraindications for using the cold spray? The cold spray should not be applied to deep open wounds, mucous membranes, or the eye area. People with extreme cold sensitivity or circulatory disorders should use the product with caution. Avoid prolonged application on the same area to prevent superficial frostbite. How big is the 400ml canister? The 400ml canister has a compact size, similar to a standard deodorant spray. It is easy to handle with one hand and integrates well into the studio workspace. The generous capacity ensures excellent autonomy for multiple consecutive sessions. Is Medy Spray safer than topical anesthetics? Medy Spray offers a different safety profile compared to topical anesthetics. It contains no pharmaceutical substances, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions to anesthetics. However, its effect is shorter and more superficial. The choice between the two depends on the artist's preferences and client needs. How should Medy Spray be properly stored? Medy Spray should be stored at room temperature, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Like any pressurized container, it should not be exposed to temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius. Do not puncture or throw the container into fire, even when empty. Keep away from ignition sources.
