I am planning to start laser hair removal on my underarms and upper lip for the summer. How much pain will it cause, and how many sessions will it take?

Hello! The weather has gotten so much hotter already that I've started wearing short sleeves, and now that I'm getting self-conscious about the dark hairs growing in, I'm writing this post.

I've been managing by roughly shaving or plucking at home with a razor or tweezers despite the hassle, but my skin kept getting red and I was developing ingrown hairs, so I decided I couldn't go on like this. My friends strongly recommended laser hair removal at a clinic, saying it's a whole new world, and specifically raved about Maypure for its great value and thoroughness. So, I'm planning to take this opportunity to get my underarms and upper lip hair removed at the same time!

Since this is my very first time getting laser hair removal, I have a lot of questions. I'm worried that the pain might be severe when the laser is applied because the skin on my upper lip and underarms is delicate. Also, I'd like to know the recommended number of sessions and how often I need to get treatments to get smooth, hair-free skin!

I'm planning to make a reservation for this weekend, so I would appreciate it if you could let me know if I need to shave at home the day before. Haha. I'll be waiting for your reply!
