Ah, that's good to know.
I'm still a while away from even an initial consult, so probably at least a year to go still. But we've pretty much finished the first pass already, just a case of picking up any dormant hairs now. Guess there's time to start tackling the remaining hair on my face as well then (^^
that's amazing, well done! How do you deal with the pain? That's the worst part for me 😰
I mean I'd classify it as "very unpleasant" but not unbearable. Deep breaths but I did let out a few squeals now and again :P My technician was surprised that I could stand it without anesthetic, so I guess I just have a higher-than-normal pain tolerance?
