Does laser hair removal hurt?

[Pholi]

Yes. It feels like a red hot staple gun.

I had noticeably less regrowth after 2 sessions, and almost none after 6 sessions. I don't do anything to my bikini line now.

Owww. How long does it hurt for after?

[little_O]

I didn't have that type of pain with mine. I have done bikini line and underarms. The only time it was a bit burny was when the machine had played up.

You need at least 6 sessions or more to really notice a minimization.

Each zap hurt for about half a second. There were maybe 40 or 50 zaps per session. Afterwards, it just feels a little raw for a few hours, but that might be because or the shave that happens first.

So is it something I could do in my lunch break and go back to work without feeling uncomfy?

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

I've had moustache, beard, underarms and bikini done. Had 6 sessions, noticed a difference from the start. But you can't epilate while the treatment is ongoing. The 6 sessions reduced the hair in these areas by about half and completely eliminated the beard. I would like another six at some point, and also maybe get my arms done too.

It felt like touching something hot for a brief second, then it being removed. I had a portable fan that I could blow towards the area while the treatment was being given to reduce this sensation.

Only time it hurt was bikini line during my period. Not a good move. But once it was done, it was done and no pain so I was able to cycle home again after the treatment.

Yep, it's just a zap and then nothing and little tender for maybe 30 mins or so afterwards. It depends on the laser, too, as some are 'cooler' than others. older ones will hurt more and for longer afterwards.

I get laser on my chin and lip, yes it hurts, but its WAYYYYYYYYY less painful than waxing the same area. Makes such a difference love it!,
