Marian Keyes reveals she risked her life after horrific laser treatment

Irish novelist Marian Keyes has confessed she risked her life trying to soothe the pain of laser hair removal.

The 51-year-old writer revealed she applied local anaesthetic cream before wrapping her legs in cling film to ease the pain of her first laser treatment.

After covering her pin in the cream, the brunette jumped on a flight and admitted she believes the product went into her blood stream making her feel “euphoric”.

“You will weep with the pain. You will cry your eyes out. This is only my story. Please don’t do this,” she said.

“The first time I had the lasering done it was horrific. I couldn’t imagine that something would hurt so much. It’s very painful and very pricey.

“I covered myself in the cream and then wrapped myself in cling film and put my jeans on and apparently you’re not meant to do this as there’s a small chance you could die. I didn’t care. I just thought as long as it works,” she told the Telegraph.

“So after I put the cream on I felt no pain and it was really lovely. But I had to get a flight afterwards and whatever was in the cream had obviously gone into my blood stream because I was on top form. I was flying it.

“I was the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. Even now I’m getting euphoric recall,” she added.

Opening up on why she had the procedure in the first place, Marian admitted she was tired of other treatments.

“I used to have the hairiest legs in Ireland and as a feminist it shouldn’t matter but it does,” she said frankly.

“I was getting my legs waxed month in and month out but [the hair] always grew back.”
