How much is discomfort during LASER hair removal?
Ans: Discomfort is like a rubber band snapping against the skin and tends to create some discomfort. People with light skin tend to have less discomfort. This discomfort indicates maximum energy that can be used in particular case without any side effect. But if patient does not want even this much discomfort, then, in first sitting, maximum tolerance of energy in particular person is assessed. Later on from second sitting, this dose is delivered under topical local anaesthesia locally. Topical anaesthetic cream is applied one hour before the treatment. Ice can also be used. After the treatment skin becomes slightly pink. Patient may feel slight sunburn. Patient can attend her usual work after some time.
