Let’s face it—shaving, waxing, and tweezing are time-consuming and often uncomfortable. That’s why more people are turning to laser hair removal in Ajax as a long-term solution. But one of the most common questions we get at Ocean Medi Spa is:
“Does laser hair removal hurt?”
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect, how it feels, and why laser and IPL hair removal are worth considering for smooth, carefree skin.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses focused light energy to target and destroy hair follicles. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which heats and disables the follicle to reduce future hair growth.
At Ocean Medi Spa, we offer both laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal technologies, depending on your skin tone, hair color, and treatment area.
So, Does It Hurt?
The answer is: it depends—but for most people, the sensation is very tolerable and often described as:
- A quick snap or flick of an elastic band on the skin
- A warm pinching or mild tingling feeling
- A bit more intense on sensitive areas like the upper lip, bikini line, or underarms
Modern technology (like the equipment we use at Ocean Medi Spa in Ajax) includes cooling tips or numbing gels to make the experience more comfortable.
Bonus: IPL treatments often feel even gentler than traditional lasers, especially for larger areas like the legs or back.
What Affects the Sensation?
- Your pain tolerance – Everyone’s different
- Treatment area – Some zones are more sensitive than others
- Hair density & thickness – Thicker hair can absorb more heat
- Skin type – Lighter skin with darker hair usually has a better response with less discomfort
- Type of device – We use professional-grade machines designed for both efficacy and comfort
What to Expect During and After Your Session
- Quick Consultation – We evaluate your skin and hair type.
- Protective Gear – You’ll wear safety glasses, and the treated area will be cleaned.
- The Procedure – Sessions typically last 15–60 minutes depending on the area.
- Post-Treatment – You might experience redness or slight swelling—similar to a mild sunburn. It usually subsides within a few hours.
Tip: Applying aloe vera or a cold compress post-treatment helps soothe the skin.
Why Choose Laser or IPL Hair Removal in Ajax?
- Long-lasting results – Drastically reduces hair growth after a few sessions
