Laser hair removal

I am curious about the effectiveness of laser hair removal. I understand that it is known as Brazilian waxing and is popular among women; does it remove hair smoothly? What is the approximate price, and who is it recommended for?

Some people get hair removal because their makeup doesn't apply well, and it seems many men do it as well. How often should laser hair removal be done, and after how many sessions is it no longer necessary? Since lasers are used, I would like to know if it is painful or stinging, and if it causes skin pitting or heat damage requiring more maintenance. However, if there are any advantages, I would like to know if it reduces the inconvenience of cuts by not using a razor. Please also let me know if satisfaction with laser hair removal varies from person to person, how long the effects last, and what the cost is like.
