In terms of permanent hair removal, the least recommended method with regard to pain is electric hair removal, which really hurts. The two preferred methods are laser hair removal and pulsed light hair removal. They are a little painful, but still very bearable. It also depends on the sensitivity of the woman and the area to be treated. During a laser session, the pain is similar to that felt during traditional waxing. Generally, the most sensitive area is the top of the lip. You should also know that the armpits and bikini line are more painful places than the legs. Pulsed light hair removal is almost painless. The session causes tingling, even a slight burning sensation. In general, it should be known that women agree that it is not very pleasant, but far from being unbearable.
To avoid as much as possible feeling any kind of pain during the session, there are many tips to follow. Above all, always favor sessions in hair removal centers supervised by dermatologists. It is best to avoid permanent hair removal at home or in aesthetic salons. To limit the pain, you can apply an anesthetic cream an hour and a half before the session.

Before the session, you can take a shower, but do not put any cream on the area concerned by the permanent hair removal.
