2I have had Laser Hair Removal. A very long time ago, and it was performed at my dermatologists office. Yes, it was painful but they did give me a cream tho apply 1 hour prior to reduce that. I had no side effects at all outside of some redness that lasted about an hour. The treatment was very successful. I would like to mention that Laser Hair Removal shows it’s best result on dark hair. As a licensed Esthetician, I would recommend having this procedure done by a medical facility.
