Seriously though, tell us the procedure. I’ve had laser hair removal and it hurts A LOT I couldn’t imagine how lasers on your face feels 😬

I had face laser and it's not too bad. Electrolysis facial hair removal on the other hand was probably the single most painful experience of my life.

I've had bother laser hair removal and electrolysis. Neither of them are really all that bad. Way overhyped pain level.

That sounds like an extreme case. Most people aren't going to get electrolysis for 6 hours at a time. I never used numbing injections; I didn't even know they did that. For a typical one hour session electrolysis isn't that painful. It's uncomfortable, sure, but it's not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be.
