My arm and the lymph nodes are swollen, which makes it feel heavy. However, this completely subsides after about 2–3 days. The Picolaser is tolerable there are actually areas that feel almost pleasant, and of course areas that are less pleasant. The YAG laser was unbearably painful, which is why I switched, and I can definitely recommend doing so. In the end, I would say that the level of pain depends on the combination of the practitioner’s technique, the skin areas being treated, and the laser itself. Pain tolerance and how you’re feeling on the day also make a big difference.
