Is Laser Hair Removal Painful
Far from being painful, laser hair removal is virtually pain-free and a long lasting way to remove unwanted hair.
Used to turning to methods such as waxing or shaving to enjoy hair-free under arms, legs and bikini lines, it's only natural that some people assume that laser hair removal is a painful procedure.
However, if you're looking for a way to permanently minimise hair on your face or body, then laser hair removal is a great way to get lasting results with the minimum of discomfort.
Choosing laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is virtually pain-free, and any transient discomfort you experience is much less than you would feel on other treatments. However, it's still important to make sure you choose a reputable clinic for your treatments.
Laser hair removal works using a specially calibrated laser. The laser is passed over the area needing treatment, destroying the hairs and inhibiting re-growth. At The Harley Medical Group, all laser hair removal treatments are carried out by fully qualified Cosmetic Nurses and Aesthetic Practitioners. This is to make sure you always get the right number of treatments and the best possible care.
Who is laser hair removal for?
Laser hair removal used to only be really effective for people who had pale skin and dark hair. However, we now offer removal that works even on blonde hairs. It's also a popular treatment for both men and women.
As laser hair removal isn't as painful as other hair removal treatments, it can be used to remove hair even in sensitive areas, such as the face or bikini line, as well as from your back, tummy or chest.
To achieve the best results, you often need several laser hair removal treatments, but the number of sessions you need will be unique to you and decided at your initial consultation.
