Is laser Hair Removal really pain free?
The question on everyone’s lips
In short, the answer to your question is no, laser is not completely pain free. BUT the pain is minimal and varies from treatment area and also the Laser Hair Removal machine used.
You should feel a warm pulsing sensations when the laser is on your skin, the pulses are described generally like an elastic band snapping on your skin. If the laser is too hot with no efficient cooling method used alongside the skin burn.
Our machine has been specifically designed to ensure that the treatment is as pain free as possible. This is done by a cooling device (which is usually separate in most other machines) is in built into the laser hand piece. The hand piece is cooled to -18 so when the heat from the laser touches your skin killing the follicles it is immediately cooled therefore during the treatment you will only feel warm pulsing sensations.
It is completely natural to feel the laser on your skin, it essentially means that the treatment is working. The sensation will feel different for everyone but the end results are worth it.
From my own experience and with feedback from our customers, in certain areas (you know the ones) it was no where near as bad as waxing!
The pain is subjective to a few factors, treatment area, the laser machine and for my lovely ladies where you are in your menstrual cycle. I know we're all absolutely hard as nails 90% of the time so if you are willing to get waxed every 4/5 weeks, getting it lasered every 6/8 you'll be laughing.
Book a patch test, you'll get to feel briefly what the laser will feel like, we will have a chat and explain how everything works, after 48hrs if all is ok then in you pop for your first laser session and your hair free story begins my angels.
