Does laser hurt if you want you facial hair get lasered
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mild Discomfort: Generally, depending on the type of treatment there is mild discomfort. The laser is targeting the pigment in the hair. The darker, thicker, or more dense the hair follicles the more heat is generated. The more heat generated the more discomfort. At times I have had patients use a topical numbing cream which helps. However, most patients do not require numbling.
