So the face area, esp around the chin and upper lip, is the most stubborn hair that does not want to go away. Will most likely take a LOT of sessions. And the whole process hurts less if you are well hydrated and keep your skin moisturized! (1/2)

Also what helped me a lot was taking advil on the way in to the appointment, so the painkiller effect was kicking in around the time the pain was happening.
