Question 1

is it safer to use lacane or the oral anesthetic for waxing?

Accepted Answer

Waxing: Oral anesthetics work only in the mouth and are not topical anesthetics. Lacane(sp) i think you mean Lidocaine and it does come as a topical cream so i would use that.

Question 2

do anesthetics keep you from feeling all pain?

Accepted Answer

They can. : But it is more complicated than that.

Question 3

do waxing burns fade?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Waxing burns are usually superficial and tend to fade with time.  If needed, you can use an over-the-counter or prescription fading cream that contains hydroquinone as its active ingredient.  Be sure to use sunscreen also, as sun makes dark marks darker.  If you are using a retinoid (prescription) or retinol, be sure to stop it at least 3 days before waxing or request hard wax to prevent burns.

Question 4

are brazilian waxes safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Though you have to watch out for ingrown hairs as the hair regrows, waxing is safe as long as the wax isn't so hot it burns you! some of the skin in the genital area is quite tender, so there can be irritation regardless of the hair removal technique used.

I don't know...: But they look great!

Question 7

how painful are bikini waxes?

Accepted Answer

Not sure: I have heard that it is quite painful but very fast if done correctly.

Question 8

is nair bad and is waxing better?

Accepted Answer

Personal Choice: It is a personal choice
Some people do not like Nair as it smells and has to be left for too long it burns and if you don't leave long enough the hair is still there
Waxing has less side effects,but can also have problems and soe prefer shaving

Question 9

where can i get local anesthetics?

Accepted Answer

Local anesthetics: Hello.  What are you trying to treat with local anesthetics? Target, Walmart and your local pharmacies sell over the counter topical and oral forms at very low strengths. You would need a prescription from your medical provider in order to obtain a stronger strength (example topical lidocaine prescription strength seen as strong as 10% and is useful for stab, burn, pins/needles, sting, numbness)

I wouldnt: Say it is 'bad for your health'. It might not be the best for your  skin as far as irritation etc....  But for your general health i would not be concerned.
