I’m going to have LHR on my chest and abs. I had a consultation today and the technician said my skin was a light Type III. She said that it was her practice to start people with my skin type on 10 to 12 Joules @ 18mm spot size.
She did a test patch on me at 10J and while it was not pain free it definitely wasn’t extreme either. Waxing was still in another universe. Aloe+1.5 hours and the skin has a vague discomfort and slight redness, but it’s not too bad.
Is this setting too low to be effective? What setting did you start at? Are higher joule settings much more painful.
