Laser hair removal is a common and non-invasive procedure for permanently reducing unwanted body hair and it can be quite uncomfortable, but most people report only mild discomfort during their treatment. The sensation can vary from person to person, but generally speaking, most people find that the pain level corresponds roughly with the feeling of a rubber band being snapped against their skin. To make treatments more comfortable, many clinics now offer a cooling device or anaesthetic cream before starting the procedure to reduce any pain or discomfort. It's also important to take into account your threshold for pain when considering laser hair removal since everyone will experience different levels of sensitivity.
