In fact, laser hair removal is not a very painful procedure. However, there is a slight pain in the hair follicles during the laser session. This is normal. Because the laser turns into heat in the hair follicles. Therefore, it is normal to feel slight pain in the hair follicles. If you can endure the pain of waxing, you can easily endure this pain. Also, the pain disappears in seconds.
The hair in the genital area, that is, in the private area, is usually thick. This is why there is a pain when the roots are affected. But this pain is very temporary and mild. For example, you will feel less pain than with an epilator or waxing.
Yes, laser hair removal is not completely painless. But a very short-term pain is felt. It is natural to feel this pain while the hair follicles are burning. Usually no anaesthesia is required. Even just applying a cold compress is enough.
This question is a bit exaggerated. There really isn’t much pain anyway. But laser hair removal is really worth it. Because it is possible to get rid of hair for life.
First of all, if everything is done correctly and properly, the answer is yes. So we want to say the following. Go to a professional center where doctors work. Prefer centers that have different laser types. For example, diode and alexandrite lasers are the lasers available in our centers. In addition, these lasers should be used in effective doses. If all these are together, it is possible to get rid of hair.
Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?
In fact, it cannot be said that laser hair removal is very painful. For example, it is a much less painful method compared to waxing or epilation. Those who have it done describe it as a sudden pinprick to the hair follicles. Or it is perceived like a rubber band hitting the skin. So it is not a pain to be very afraid of. It is actually a very sudden and passing pain.
This is true to some extent if the hair is coarse and thick in the first session. But there is absolutely no unbearable pain. It can even be called painless compared to other methods. Also, as the sessions progress, the pain decreases a lot.
Although there are individual differences, it often feels like a rubber band hitting the skin. But this is not really a big pain. Local anaesthetic cream can be used for sensitive people who feel a lot of pain. In addition, thanks to the cold heads in our lasers, the pain is very easily tolerated.
No, because in waxing, the hair follicles are plucked out. The rupture of a piece of tissue is much more painful. Therefore, laser hair removal is much less painful than waxing.
Does Laser Hair Removal painless?
In fact, the pain level is the same in most areas. However, genital and armpit hair is thicker in most people. For this reason, especially in the first sessions, these areas may hurt a little more.

Approximately one year. If we accept the session intervals as 2 months on average, the duration is 12 months.
In a professional laser centre, you will get results in an average of 6 sessions, i.e. one year. But in some areas, for example on the face and arms, it may take a little longer. So it can take up to 1.5 years. In addition, a long time may be required for complete hairlessness in men. Because hormones in men support the growth and strengthening of hair.

There are some who say that ice laser is also painful. So we can say that the pain felt in laser epilation shows personal differences. It has little to do with laser devices.

In other words, it means that the laser destroys the hair follicles with the power we want.

Does Facial Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
Question: I want to have laser hair removal on my face, but as you know, the face and neck area are very sensitive areas. Does facial laser hair removal hurt?
Özge *** Fenerbahçe Istanbul December 2020
Daphne Lazer:
Answer: Yes, you are actually right. The nerve and sensory structure in the facial area is much more sensitive. For this reason, the face area is one of the sensitive areas like the genital area. For laser epilation in the face area, we prefer Diode laser, that is, ice laser. If the cold ice effect of the Diode lasers on the head is used correctly, it completely reduces your pain. For example, when you hit something, or when something burns, you immediately apply ice. This has two purposes. The first is to reduce the pain and the second is to prevent the formation of edema in that area. For this reason, we use lasers called head-cooled or ice-effective lasers when performing laser on the face.
