I can say, from personal experience... yes and no.

Depends on the thickness/density of hair, whether or not the nurse/doc presribed Emla (lidocaine/prilocaine topical anesthetic), and how well you wrapped yourself up like a turkey after thanksgiving dinner. (allow at LEAST one hour!)

As a rather tall man, legs weren't too bad, but bikini area really had me squirming until another helping of emla had kicked in. (10,000+ pulses!)
