When you go for a wax, the thing you are most worried about is usually the pain. Waxing hurts, a lot. Shaving doesn’t hurt but it is an annoyance that can take up a lot of time if you have to shave every few days. So, this leaves laser hair removal. Now, when people hear that a laser is targeting their skin, their major question is "Will it hurt?" Well, the quick answer is yes there is discomfort and the level of pain you feel depends on your pain threshold. Best case is you feel nearly nothing and the worst case is you feel like a small elastic band is being snapped on your skin over and over.
