Asking For Self, Female 28, karachi

assalam o Alaikum wrwb

I epilate my under arm hair. it pains and I don't like the suffering. please tell me any numbing cream which I can use. I want some less expensive cream. my sisters get waxed every 3-4 weeks but I can't afford it. that's why I bought this epilator once.

please help me and tell me not so expensive numbing cream and which is easily available in karachi.

jazak Allah.

You can apply 2% lidocaine ointment 5-10 minutes before epilating.

In epilation the hairs are pulled off from their roots forcefully. the hair root is a living organ and your are pulling it from hair root. It's bound to be a very painful process. The other side effects are thickening and darkening of the hairs.
if you cannot afford IPL or laser hair removal,. the other best option is using hair removal creams and lotions.
Bear in mind the hair roots are about more than 5mm deep and applying any numbing cream will not help at all.

is it safe to get armpits hair removed via laser? won't it be dangerous..? and what's ipl?

why should it be dangerous to treat hair removal by lasers. I have been treating with lasers & IPL for the last 23 years with more than excellent results. IPL is intense pulsed light. It's not laser but very close to laser with virtually no side or adverse effects.
