Does Topical Numbing Affect Laser Hair Removal Results?

Cellulite Sucks
I read an article that since it affects the blood vessels and surrounding area, you do not get as good of results. I have had it both ways with significant time in between and feel like it is true for me, and makes sense, but I also used different types of lasers. I would like to know what other doctors think. I also do not feel it really helped with comfort that much, more of a mental thing.
