I apologize for perhaps a strange question that occurred to me this morning.
I have decided after putting it off for a long time to finish removing / clean up some facial hair I have. I had electrolysis from 1993-1995 (three full years) and stopped when I got a job. Almost finished, but not quite and never had sufficient motivation to finish it. I didn't want to have to grow it out for several days while working a full time job.
Anyway. I saw a laser hair removal person a few weeks ago (licensed with a national organization, etc. Gives a very professional impression). She uses a lightsheer and recommended I wait until fall because there is too much sunlight now. Risk of adverse affects in combination with the laser, I gather.
Anyway, a long introduction for this question: Is there a relation between the pain of the laser and the amount of (dark) hair targeted? In other words, will it hurt more in a spot with a lot of dark facial hair and less where there is less facial hair? Or is there no such relation?
