As an alternative, you can warm up a hot pack that’s typically used for injuries in the microwave to achieve a similar result.
The idea behind this method is the heat helps the pores open up. In turn, the hairs you are plucking will come out more easily. That makes the whole process less painful for you.

For instance, a dental numbing gel meant for babies is a good one to try. Just use a cotton swab to dab the gel along your eyebrows. Wait for the skin to get numb before plucking.
Aloe vera gel can be purchased at almost any drugstore or grocery store. You can also use aloe vera from a plant. Simply break off a piece, and squeeze out the aloe vera to use. If you don’t have aloe vera on hand, try an ice cube to numb your skin. [6] X Research source
