How It Works: Laser hair removal takes dedication, but the results can be worthwhile. The wand used in the procedure emits the monochromatic hair-follicle-impairing light needed to target the pigment at the root. After going through the prescribed amount of sessions, which can last as little as 10 minutes, you'll be able to trade the weekly shaving sessions or monthly wax appointment for a touch-up appointment once every few years.
How Much It Hurts: It depends on your pain threshold and where you get it done. Editorial coordinator Lauren Harano, who recently had her lower legs lasered for the first time, "was surprised that it was more painful than having it done on [her] underarms," while editorial director Dawn Davis said getting laser on her bikini line "barely hurt."
