Does the laser treatment hurt?

Our triple wavelength lasers are ice cooled and part of a class of lasers called Diode lasers.

Everyone’s tolerance for laser hair removal varies from person to person and it is important to tell your therapist if you experience more than a warm tingle so they can adjust the settings accordingly
