Does laser hair removal hurt?

Generally laser hair removal is not much more painful and It resembles a rubber band snapping against the skin for a quick second with each pulse. 90% of patients do not require an anesthetic cream.
Some areas are more sensitive than others, such as the facial, upper lip, bikini, or underarms. Treating thicker hair is often more painful. If it is becoming uncomfortable, you can apply small quantities that numbs the skin.
Everyone’s pain threshold is different, however patients with lighter-colored skin and finer hair will experience less discomfort than other peoples.
