I was ok after my first laser hair removal.. But to ensure the technician was thorough this time, I marked my body with black eyeliner. I asked the technician multiple times if that was okay & she said it was fine. (As per technician's instructions) I had advils & applied Amila numbing Cream, so I didn't feel anything while it was happening.
