i don't understand why is it "very painful" because it's not. you'll feel a pinch on your skin but it not that painful. each laser zap lasts about 2 seconds on the skin surface. typical areas such as the arm, legs, under arms, upper lip have very tolerable pinching feeling. a cool clear gel is applied onto the skin before treatment. ice pack can be placed and pressed against the skin right after each zap if you request for it.

if it's done on your more sensitive areas such as the bikini and/or full monty, you will appy a numbing cream, elma, on the skin 30 minutes up to 1 hr prior to your treatment. wipe/clean it off before the treatment and you will not feel anything at all.

you don't necessary have to grow your hair out before each treatment. some places recommend you shave completely before treatment. the reason behind that is when the laser zaps the hairs, it will be burnt and burnt hair doesn't smell good. also, when the laser zaps the hair, the body of the hair will absorb the laser which decreases the effectiveness. it is more ideal and effective to have the hair follicle underneath the skin to absorb the laser, instead of having the hair itself to absorb the laser.

if you were recommended to grow your hair out. it's usually no more than 2 to 3mm long. the longer the hair, the more it will absorb the laser. the lesser the hair, the more the hair follicle will absorb the laser which is more ideal and effective.

totally
for those who can handle full brazillian waxing, laser hair removal is nothing.
and especially it is recommended and totally safe to apply a numbing cream on the skin prior to laser hair removal treatments, i don't see how can't one bare the pinch feeling.

shaving/waxing can be a weekly/monthly work, but for 40 years. it is more affordable in the short term. and it is safer than laser.

laser is finite, definitely not 40 years. you can show off your legs and arms and not having concerns about body hair is priceless. the skin looks and feels clean and hygienic

others don't see. but still, don't let unwanted body hair grow out of control. like a bush??! OMG.... husband's special taste??!. ..

shaving/waxing from 1X till 5X is about 40 years la. this "road" or duration ... long to bare

long term investment. i think it's definitely worth it
