How can I make laser hair removal less painful?

There are many types of laser hair removal procedures available to remove unwanted excess hair. This is the very latest technology in hair removal techniques. The one thing they all have in common is that they can stop hair from growing to a lesser or greater extent, but finding the least painful method is also often a concern among many patients.

Modern laser hair removal systems are available with different methods. Some are more painful than others, including the traditional “shots” laser hair removal treatment.

A revolution is underway, for body hair removal that is virtually painless. The Pain-Free treatment offered by KEMPS Skin Clinic, can now free you from daily shaving, painful plucking and expensive waxing to give you silky smooth and beautifully bare skin. 

What Does Laser Hair Removal Feel Like?

Many of our clients at KEMPS Skin Clinic liken the sensation of Laser Hair Removal to a small elastic band snapping against the skin. While you would not actively seek such a sensation, it is very much preferable to feeling the roots of your hair getting ripped out as you do with hot wax.

At KEMPS Skin Clinic, we use the superior Candela Gentle Lase system, which includes a patented Dynamic Cooling Device. This system sprays a layer of cryogen on the skin milliseconds before the laser pulse, dramatically improving your level of comfort and rendering the hair removal treatment virtually painless.

What if Laser Hair Removal Does Hurt Me?

While Laser Hair Removal is a comfortable experience compared to other hair removal treatments, we do understand that pain thresholds differ between individuals. If you do experience pain during the treatment, talk to your qualified KEMPS Skin Clinic technician and we can make adjustments to get you through the treatment painlessly.

Painless Hair Reduction Treatment by KEMPS Skin Clinic

Painless Hair Reduction technology is the next-generation of laser hair reduction systems. It is a simple and easy permanent hair reduction solution that uses new breakthrough technology, often described as one of the most comfortable laser hair reduction options available today.

Certain factors which can influence pain experienced by the treatment include:

·         Skin type (Darker skin types find treatments more painful as there is more pigment in both the hair and the skin)

·         Hair type ( Thicker and darker hair will generally be more painful)

·         Hormonal Fluctuations (Menstruation for example) or if you are tired and stressed may increase sensitivity to the treatments as well.

Is it painful?

The majority of people find the Soprano laser very comfortable. Pain tolerance is subjective, but many patients often describe the sensation as soothing as a “hot stone massage.”

Since laser hair removal is only effective on short, visible hair, candidates should shave the desired area a few days before the treatment and let the hair grow into stubble. Do not wax or pluck hair beforehand, because hair may not grow back in time for your treatment.
