    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 had 3-4 sessions for underarm and brazilian. It was enough to thin it but I couldnt afford to keep going. It's a bit like flicking yourself with a rubber band. I put topical anaesthetic cream on an hour before a treatment, which kind of helped. However, I also had to put cling wrap over the cream to stop it coming off on my clothes. That was kind of weird.

    I went to a cosmetic doctor, as I didn't want to risk those sensitive bits to anyone less qualified.
