Does RedTouch Pro Laser Hurt? What It Really Feels Like
One of the most common questions clients ask before trying any new laser treatment is:
“Is it going to hurt?”
It’s a completely understandable concern – especially if you’ve had previous experiences with more uncomfortable treatments.
The reassuring news is that RedTouch Pro laser is an extremely comfortable treatment. But as always, it’s important to explain this clearly and honestly, so you know exactly what to expect.
So… Does RedTouch Pro Laser Hurt?
For most clients, the answer is:
No – it doesn’t hurt at all.
In fact, many people are surprised by how gentle the treatment feels.
RedTouch Pro is a non-ablative laser, meaning it works within the skin without damaging the surface. Because of this, the sensation is very different from more aggressive laser treatments.
What Does It Actually Feel Like?
Most clients describe the treatment as:
- A gentle, warming sensation on the skin
- Very mild heat as the laser is delivered
- Comfortable throughout
Some even say it feels similar to a gentle radiofrequency treatment — more of a pleasant warmth than anything uncomfortable.
I’ve had this treatment myself, and that’s exactly how I would describe it!
Are There Any More Sensitive Areas?
There is one small exception worth being aware of.
When treating areas such as the lips (for lip volumisation), the sensation can feel:
- Slightly more prickly
- A little more noticeable
However:
- It’s still very manageable
- The treatment is quick
- The sensation passes almost immediately
Why Does It Feel So Comfortable?
RedTouch Pro is designed to work in a targeted and controlled way within the dermis, rather than aggressively affecting the surface of the skin.
This means:
- Minimal stimulation of pain receptors
- No disruption to the outer skin barrier
- A gentle, controlled delivery of energy
It also produces lower levels of inflammation compared to many traditional laser treatments, which contributes to both comfort and recovery.
Do You Need Numbing Cream?
No – numbing cream isn’t needed for this treatment.
There is absolutely no need for any type of numbing or even cooling for Red Touch Pro.
How Does It Compare to Other Treatments?
If you’ve had other treatments before, you’ll notice a big difference.
Compared to:
- More aggressive laser resurfacing
- Some microneedling treatments
- Higher-intensity energy-based devices
RedTouch Pro is generally:
- A lot more comfortable
- Less intense
- Easier to experience
This makes it a particularly appealing option for clients who want effective skin improvement without a harsh or uncomfortable treatment.
