Hi Paula,

Yep was a tria laser I ordered will see what I can tolerate on the face I use the IPL on level 5 although a laser will be a little stronger!

To be honest I have a fairly high pain threshold anyway, so am hoping it does the job. Will be a little bummed if it doesn't but reading elsewhere others have had success with facial hair. Guess I'll find out both how painful and effective it is sometime soon!

I have a pretty high pain threshold too, but also a flinch response I can't control. It makes a nice beep if you hold it long enough or a bad buzz if you don't. I get the bad buzz if I try it on level 5 on my upper lip or goatee area no matter how hard I try, other areas like the neck and cheeks, the hairs are more sparse and I can handle it. I am toying with the idea of hitting the very edges and working down gradually, though I'll eventually have to get some electrolysis anyway as some is gray, probably would have had less had I just went to a professional to begin with as it's getting grayer and grayer with each passing day...still do like the results on my hands and arms. I only have to look at my face when I look in a mirror, but have to see my hands pretty much all the time, it's so awesome they are hairless.
