Starting LHR - Underarms

I just went in for my first treatment of laser for my underarms. I have skin type V, and have very dark, coarse hair on my underarms. The machine my technician is using is an Apogee Elite, with the ND: YAG.

Today, these were the settings:
Spot 10mm
Pulse width 30
Joules 35

I have a high pain tolerance and most of it was fine, except some parts (like the middle) were quite painful. What do you think of these settings? Should I ask her to go up on the spot size next time? How is the pulse width and joules?
