Does laser hair removal hurt?

Laser hair removal can feel slightly uncomfortable in some areas at the start of a course but it should not hurt and cause intense pain.

When hairs are thick and coarse a lot of energy from the laser can be absorbed by the skin leading to a slight pinching sensation. However, when your hair starts to become finer and lighter this sensation does decrease.

Your therapist will adjust settings based on your own individual needs so you do not need to worry about this. We will make sure you are comfortable throughout your session. Book now
