First hair removal laser session - what to expect?

[WeightyKaty]

Hello. I have a patch test tonight and wasn't sure what to expect. Do any of you have any experience of whether it works better on one area than another? Does it hurt? Thanks

I'm currently having it on my chin. It's quite painful the first time as the hair is thicker. It's a weird kind of pain, very short-lived like someone pinging an elastic band at your face. Totally manageable though.

I've had about 7 sessions over the past year. It hasn't got rid of the hair but it's much much thinner and you can hardly see it. It's not instantly miraculous and takes a good few sessions to really see the effects. Although there will be a noticeable difference after the first session.
