Got 15g tube of LMX cream today at CVS Pharmacy. It contains 5% lidocaine (lidocaine is the same stuff used at the dentist's office to numb your gums). Tried it out today on the donor area and what a difference! Left it on for about 10 minutes before proceeding. I still felt each cut but most of the sting was gone. I might try out "Dr. Numb" as well sold over the Internet. Supposedly it's the strongest topical numbing cream available. This will definitely help me achieve my goal. It wasnt easy doing it withought any anesthesia, and very discouraging when the cut is bad (bad angle and the follicle gets cut out too shallow, which happens about once for every five tries). Let's go hair!
