Laser hair removal is a very popular service today. Many women are paying thousands of dollars to get the procedure done. The thought of never having to shave again is the major incentive.
But the real question is, does it hurt. Well yes and no. There is some mild pain associated with the procedure. If you are highly sensitive to pain, then you will probably need to take something before you get it done. There may be some mild side effects like swelling, redness, etc. that lasts for several days after the procedure.
Some women experience just a little bit of mild pain when getting the procedure done. Be sure to ask your doctor about what would be best to take if you are concerned about the pain.

Is Laser Hair Removal Really Worth It?
If you are thinking about getting laser hair removal done, you have probably done some intial research on the procedure. You probably already know that it can take 3-5 treatments to see results and that not everyone actually sees results.
The costs can be a little up there - ranging from $300-600 per treatment. There can be some minor side-effects to the treatment, like pain or swelling. In some cases skin discoloration can occur.
If you take all of these known facts when deciding to get laser hair removal - is it really worth it? You have to really consider how much you dislike shaving every day - every other day and how much you are willing to go through to not shave.
For me, I think it would be nice to not have to shave anymore. But, I have made it a part of my regular routine and I do it without even thinking about it. If you put money aside- this is hard to do since most people don't have thousands of dollars lying around---I think I would consider getting it done in the bikini area only. The skin in this area gets irritated so quickly when you shave - it would be nice to not deal with that. Shaving the rest of my leg is a piece of cake compared to that area.
What would you do - if money were not a factor- would you get laser hair removal so you didn't have to shave anymore? Leave your comments below.
