In my treatment I meant to ask about anasthetic cream but I forgot. The pain I equated to tweezing... a nice deep root. But it felt like one hair being pulled while actually several folicles were being singed, so it was worth the pain. But the laser I went under was the Candela GentleLASE plus which has a cooling blast along with the pulse. I don't think I could have withstood the pain on my face without the cooling. The laser I was under was Alexandrite which I've heard has one of the longest if not the longest wavelength which means it can get as deep as hair can be.
I would have been really suspicious if they wouldn't do a test pulse on me, even if you just wanted to make sure you could stand the pain. Did you get a test pulse at the second place?
