Is laser hair removal painful?

Tag it:

For many men and women, unwanted hair can be a big problem. Getting rid of it can be very painful. The only options for removing unwanted hair were hair removal creams, stinging wax or painful electrolysis needles. Now, men and women can try laser hair removal procedure.

They will be pleased with the laser hair removal results . Though there is some discomfort, still, most patients state that they feel far less pain with laser hair removal than with other hair removal preparations. It is almost like a pinch on the skin. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. On a scale of one to ten they call it a 3 or 4. In one moment, the laser removes all the hair on a piece of skin the size of a nickel. The moment, lasting only millionths of a second, is no more painful than plucking a single hair.

The real benefits of the laser technique appear after the treatment. The skin is left smooth and silky. However there is a possibility to occur for some side effects (for instance itching, during treatment; pain; feeling of numbness; bruising; redness; temporary pigment change and etc.) As compared to the pain from waxing or electrolysis most patients say their laser treatment was very less painful. Usually, the majority of patients can easily tolerate this sensation. However it would be helpful to use a topical numbing cream before your procedure. If you do feel any discomfort it is only while the area is being treated. Then after the procedure the area where hairs were removed may become pink or red for a several hours or day, it depends on a skin (how sensitive it is). Also after leaving the procedure you will not need any swathes because there is no damage to your skin. As you see laser hair removal procedure is not as painful as it seems in the beginning. All you need to concultate with professionales.

Guest 2006-08-26 19:16:23	I am 20yrs old and am currently undergoing a 6 session treatment of Laser Hair Removal. As to if it is painful the first thing I would like to remind everyone, is that each person has a different threshold for pain. With that said, the laser feels like a hot bee sting. It is not painful, more like uncomfortable. However, by the time I take the elevator to the first floor and exit the building, I can no longer remember the pain, other than that it feels like a Hot bee sting. Most places will tell you its like a small pinch, but I think a sting is much more of an accurate word. It is working great for me! And I would have paid much more, knowing that by the end of the treatment I wont have to set aside extra time before going out, because I needed to shave. I saw some results directly after the 1st treatment, and since then I have less and less hair! My advise is to weigh your options wisely, it's not as pleasant as people would like you to believe.
