I had my 1st Tx to my face & neck at 3 pm. I had numbing cream on for 1hr prior. The areas that were very painful-my upper lip, smile lines & temples. My neck was really painful so she turned it down a level. It was a little more tolerable. I really didn’t think it was going to be as painful as it was, so prepare yourself. I actually have a high tolerance to pain. Marcia kept me talking throughout the procedure to distract me. That helped...a little. My face was red
