Laser hair removal-- is it painful?

I thought it was a little less painful than waxing or electrolysis, then I heard that even though it only takes a few sessions, it is extremely painful. Which is it? I am sick of bikini waxing and I was considering this for after I have my baby.

i think it depends on your tolerance level, for me the first 2-3 times in the session are uncomfortable, like a little prick, but then i forget about it
also it depends where you are having the hair removed the only place i would say hurt a little was the upper lip

I had it done and I thought the pain was tolerable, it is more irritating then painful but sessions are very very short so it is not too bad! Also, certain machines feel different I had a machine that blew cold air and it eliminated some of the irritation.

Good luck! best money I ever invested on myself!
