The level of discomfort depends on the treated area, the texture of the hair, and skin. Darker skin people are more sensitive because they have more pigment, not just in the hair, but in their skin as well. Patients with dark and coarse hair experience more discomfort as well. After each treatment, the hair becomes lighter or thinner and the pain subsides, which makes it easier to handle the laser.
To help with the discomfort during the procedure I would recommend using a cooling device, such as Zimmer, applying a tropical anesthetic, or simply icing the area for a few minutes.
