Is laser hair removal the most comfortable activity? No. Are there a few zaps (generally over the bony areas) that make me bite my tongue to hold back the cursing? Yes. But truly ladies the pain is temporary. It only lasts for as long as the zap (about 1.5 seconds). Zap ends, pain ends. Believe me, stubbing your toe is 1000 times worse. Because stubbing your toe brings seemingly ceaseless surges of pain. LHR is NOT like that. Besides, I’m subjecting myself to the discomfort willingly and for vanity. There are countless worse hardships in the world so I really have no right to complain. Suck it up. Reap the rewards.
