Does laser hair removal hurt? What Dr Zahra Zakir says

One of the most common questions Dr Zahra Zakir hears is whether laser hair removal is painful. Her answer: it is relatively painless. You may feel a slight tingling, but not pain. CoolGlide's cooling feels like ice on the skin and soothes it as it goes.

Is Laser Hair Removal right for you?

CoolGlide is the laser we use at every Cutera Aesthetics clinic: four wavelengths in one machine, 2000 W of power and a chilled sapphire tip, so it suits every skin tone, including darker Pakistani skin. Sessions take 10 to 90 minutes, depending on the area, with no downtime, from about Rs 2,100 a session in a course of 6. Our patients call the results “tremendous” and “superb”.

Best for dark hair on any skin tone, from fine facial hair to coarse body hair.
