Coarse hair is hair whose shaft is pretty thick. Usually when you shave, there is still some shadow or stubble, etc. Fine hair is the hair that you can shave and not see until it comes through the skin again because it’s fine enough to be almost not noticeable shaved. If you post pictures, we can help you determine what kind of hair you have on the area that you want to treat. Generally, underarm/bikini hair is coarse and hair on most women’s faces and lower arms is relatively fine. Legs is somewhere in between and usually get good results for most people.

Greetings: you’re not comparing apples to apples. Laser hurts most on the most dense coarse hair and when higher settings are used. From what I recall, you had treatments on your face on fine hair, which caused induced growth. So, even if higher settings were used, that type of hair wouldn’t hurt as much (pain also varies by laser machine and cooling used on it). On top of that, induced growth often happens when lower settings are used - so that probably contributed to it as well. Also, pain with electrolysis varies based on electrologist skill and machine and type of electrolysis used. For example, microflash usually hurts less than thermolysis even on the same machine, Apilus because the pulse is faster.
