Well, Eva, it's not brutal at all. Once the pain blocks are in place, it's completely painless. It just takes a long time to clear an entire beard on the first clearing. Each successive clearing will take less and less time. Four passes should get me to 90 to 95% permanently cleared. Also, I had no choice in the matter; laser doesn't work for blond or gray hairs, so electrolysis was necessary. I chose volume electrolysis instead of the traditional spa type because it gets me to a permanently beard-free face painlessly in just a year, and I only have to grow out my beard every 6 weeks, not weekly.
Here's my face on day 1 after the procedure:

My electrologist said that my skin was mostly moist for an older girl, so I should see a high kill rate. Also, my recovery should be short given the minimal damage done as shown in the photo.
