Title: how would you rate the pain
Post by: Princess on June 06, 2009, 03:54:37 PM
of laser or electrolysis from 1-10. 1 being very little pain, and 10 being horrible crucifying pain

I found laser to be much more painful than electrolysis.

I've only had 15 minutes from my initial consultation to go by for electrolysis (starting proper this week), but I asked for my upper lip knowing others found it very painful there. Thermal there I'd put at an 8, but blend I'd give a 3. I do have a some tolerance to physical pain, though, with even the electrologist surprised I handled the setting she used without protest.  :laugh:
