@Hairadicator cāmon dude, obviously I made a typo using the word āpluckingā. U know what I mean!
@Bono I didnāt realize the seriousness of all this!! Thank you very much for your take on all this.
So it sounds like even though you donāt know him or his compound cream. U know that people donāt like him for the reasons you highlighted. I can accept that. Basically all I know is that I need a stronger numbing cream for hair removal and it seems like people are using it successfully and others not so much. it seems like everybody is different.
My electrologist has a transgender client who uses this āDr. Powers Custom DMSO pain cream for electrolysis/laserā with the ingredients - (Ketamine 10%+DMSO 10%+Gaba 6%+Amitriptyline 2%+Baclofen 1%+Cyclo 1%+Diclo 1%+Lido7% +Tetra2%+Benzo5%)
She tells me that this trans client gets it via prescription from a Compound Pharmacy in Texas.

Her client can sit down for 1 hour of electrolysis on the neck/chin/jaw line etc., and barely have any pain and can get thru the sessions easier.
So naturally I wanted to get more info cause iāve been getting electrolysis for 1 year with 82+ hours total. Iām satisfied cause my beard hair is 84 % lighter and the work is almost done but and iām at a point where 8% lidocaine is not as strong as I would like anymore. I can now only withstand 30 mins of electrolysis before I tap out. Prior to that, I could withstand 1 hour with 8% lidocaine applied 90 mins in advance (the lidocaine is obtained via doctor prescription) Iāve been doing three 30 min sessions per week. on my neck and cheeks.
My Moustache, Chin & Goatee area is too sensitive for electrolysis so iām getting YAG laser done on it.
Even with 8 % lidocaine applied in advance. Its still more painful than iād like with the YAG laser on high settings.
I was also getting YAG laser done on my head/scalp at one point because iām balding and I hate shaving my head and I want hair removal done there.
And I was okay in the early sessions on my scalp hair. but YAG laser on my scalp n (even with 8 % lidocaine applied in 2 layers - 2 hours in advance) doesnāt stop the āpainā. it hurts a lot when on āhigherā settings. i had to take a break from it. the YAG was hurting me too much. even with the 8 % lidocaine. it was torture.
and itās sad because I want to get YAG laser done on my armits, chest and back, legs - and maybe even on my private parts too.
and I need something STRONG and it just seems like people who are in the transgender world know what the strong stuff is vs the WEAK stuff.
