Does Laser Hair Removal hurt? That is the question Kristie Dash, beauty reporter for Allure magazine sought to answer for her readers in the article “My Quest for Full Body Laser Hair Removal.” Her investigative reporting landed her naked from the waist down, lying on a table, at one of NYC’s premiere laser spas.
Does Laser Hair Removal hurt?
Dash shared her long held desires for full body laser hair removal, admitting “I just never want to have to shave or wax again in my life.” Her only concern about the laser hair removal procedure was the pain factor. She explains: “I arrived at Skinney Medspa in midtown Manhattan… I had no idea what to expect, but I had heard some discouraging stories. Actually, the general consensus among friends and coworkers was that laser hair removal hurts. Badly. Especially around one’s…delicate parts.”
But in the name of “beauty journalism” Dash underwent a full body laser hair removal “from the neck down, which means legs, bikini, underarms, and arms,” to provide her readers with a reliable answer to the question: does laser hair removal hurt?
Painless Laser Hair Removal
Dash recounts that her “Legs were first,” using the innovative ALMA Harmony XL laser. “When the aesthetician started” tells Dash, “I thought, ‘OK, pain. Bring it on.’ [The laser technician] pulled out the device, handed me a pair of huge black sunglasses, and the next thing I knew, she was practically giving me a massage with the laser. I barely felt a thing.” Dash’s technician explained how Laser Hair Removal works and the science behind the ALMA Harmony XL, which makes painless laser hair removal possible: the “laser uses a new ice-cube-tip technology that counteracts the burning, painful feeling all my friends warned me about. I’m telling you guys—it was virtually painless.”
Does Laser Hair Removal in Bikini area hurt?
Legs are one thing, the bikini area is another. Most people interested in laser hair removal are worried that removing hair from the pubic area will hurt. Dash shared this worry “I got a little nervous as [the laser technician] worked her way up to my nether regions, but as it turns out, those were painless, too.” Dash admits that the laser hair removal in the bikini area was “more awkward than it was uncomfortable,” emphasizing to her readers that the “important [thing] is that nothing hurt. At all. The experience was blissful in comparison to the traditional wax.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt Underarms?
The Beauty Reporter for Allure, finished her laser hair removal experience at SKINNEY Medspa with removing hair from the arm pit region. “By the time we got to my underarms and arms, I was a pro. There’s not much to report, but I can honestly say that, overall, it was a stress-free, well-spent 30 minutes.”
Of course, painless laser hair removal only matters if it is effective. Dash shares her results with Allure readers saying “Over the course of the next month, even after one treatment, I shaved significantly fewer times. So far, I’ve had only two sessions, but I see real results, and I’m thrilled.”
