The sensation felt during the procedure is often described as a quick, mild pinch or the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Modern laser systems are equipped with cooling mechanisms to minimize your discomfort. Additionally, a numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area to further reduce any sensations. It’s common to feel a momentary heating or tingling sensation as the laser energy is absorbed by the hair.   The treatment is fast, and each pulse of the laser lasts only a fraction of a second. This means that even if you do experience any discomfort, it's usually quite brief and tolerable. Additionally, people have varying pain tolerances, so what may be slightly uncomfortable for one person could be more or less so for another. It's essential to communicate your comfort level with the practitioner, so they can adjust the settings or use additional numbing techniques to improve your experience.
