Is there any local anesthesia so it wont hurt during waxing (hair removal) like a cream or spray ? thanks a lot

Lidocaine: There is a Lidocaine cream that can be applied but it is very difficult to use. It must be slapped on in a thick layer and be wrapped with plastic wrap to prevent it from getting wiped off. Removed just before the waxing.
