One of the largest concerns men and women have before committing to laser hair removal is the potential discomfort or pain. However, clients are often misinformed about laser hair removal in Toronto, either by friends and family or the media. The truth is that sensitivity varies based on the person and the area being treated.
It is important to note that while sensitivity is relatively normal for sensitive areas, pain is not very common, especially when you go to a reputable laser clinic in Toronto. Reach out to IGBeauty today for a comfortable laser hair removal experience.
Here is a breakdown of some of the more sensitive treatment areas.
What Makes Certain Areas More Sensitive?

Laser hair removal for men and women can be a bit uncomfortable, especially in certain areas of the body. This is completely normal; however, if you experience sharp or unbearable pain, ensure you alert your technician.
Areas with more nerve endings or thinner skin tend to be more sensitive during treatment. Additionally, you may feel stronger sensations in areas with coarser, denser hair; however, this is simply the result of more follicles being treated at a time. Some clients may also find the bony areas feel more uncomfortable.
Most Sensitive Areas for Laser Hair Removal
- Upper Lip: The upper lip has both a higher nerve density and is made up of thin skin, making it a sensitive treatment area. With that being said, most clients find laser hair removal on the upper lip to be significantly more comfortable than waxing, threading or plucking.
- Bikini Area: Naturally, the bikini line is going to be one of the more sensitive areas. Brazilian and manzillian services involve treating the entire pubic area, which contains dense hair growth, thick follicles and many nerve endings.
- Underarms: While the underarms are not always sensitive for many women, during laser hair removal for men, some clients experience some discomfort. This is often the case for men with dense hair growth in the area.
- Ankles and Shins: Some men and women find these bony areas to be more sensitive since the skin is so thin.
What Does Laser Hair Removal Actually Feel Like?
Laser hair removal feels like a warm sensation on the skin, with some experiencing a light prickly feeling. At IGBeauty, both of our laser systems have built-in cooling devices that make laser hair removal virtually painless for most.
