Does electrolysis hurt? How about laser hair removal?
During an electrolysis treatment, you’ll feel a small prick as the needle is inserted into the follicle. It basically feels like a tingling sensation. If you have very thin skin or the needle is inserted very close to a nerve, it’ll make the sensation more painful. Laser hair removal is much less painful, feeling more like a sunburn. But it isn’t used for small areas or for people with hair that’s too close in color to their skin tone. _______________ Professional treatments can help improve everything from wrinkles and acne to pigmentation and spider veins. Before you book an appointment, be sure to talk extensively to your dermatologist. Use this guide to kick-start the process and help you generate questions to ask your doctor.
