"I'm going to prepare her chest for a treatment. Pam's chest--we have the saran wrap, this is our numbing agent, so this is not a painful situation for Pam, because she's got a pretty good amount of chest hair in between her breasts. So, I'm going to remove it, it's taped down but you have to be very cautious not to pull that skin too tight or too fast and cause Pam some discomfort. So you take little bits at a time to lift this, and then you pull it back. Now, if she was really hairy, I would just do partial and then I would clean this one area with a cotton swab and then use alcohol on this and clean so, and I treat this area and I peel away as I went, the Emla, and then treat as I go so she has no discomfort when we're getting into being an hour down the road. She might not last that hour. If I was to peel that away--35, 40 minutes later she's going to start having discomfort as I work."
