I haven't done anything with my beard yet -- but about a week ago I just had my first of eight laser session for legs/back/chest/derriere. Expensive, but I'm REALLY hopeful that it will reduce me from gorilla-level hair down to something I can live with.

The legs and back were not too bad. Even my backside wasn't too bad. The chest... OMG the chest... it was really bad. I think it was the dense hair follicles. Given the density of a face, I don't know how you girls do it. I'm a bit scared now if I finally take that step! For those that have done it - is it as bad as I suspect?

I've found the pain sensation varies on the face. On the cheeks and neck it doesn't hurt so much. The more painful areas are the jawline and upper lip. At least when it hurts you know the laser is killing off the hair follicles.
