Question:
I’ve heard mixed reviews about how painful laser hair removal is. Will I be given any painkillers after my laser hair removal treatment?
Answer:
Most of the stories that you have heard about laser hair removal and pain are probably true. In the past, the lasers that worked best for laser hair removal were extremely painful because of the amount of heat energy these lasers needed to generate in order to destroy the hair cell. At Renu Med Spa and Plastic Surgery we use the Soprano XL diode laser. The treatments are extremely comfortable and require no pain medication for the hair removal procedure.
