Hair Removal Methods Waxing and Sugaring
#1

Many people seem to hate waxing/sugaring/epilation due to the pain it can cause while having it done.

Has anyone tried numbing creams, or something like novacaine applied on the skin before treating it? Is there anything that can numb the skin and hair folicle so you don’t feel it,and so the hair comes out easier?

There’s got to be something that works to reduce the pain!

#2

There are numbing creams like EMLA, but nothing numbs the follicle. they’re topical creams. for those temporary methods, an advil should help enough though and avoiding coffee that day etc.

Why avoid coffee? Is that do to the Caffeine?

caffeine makes you more pain-sensitive.
