Ive had some facial Electrolysis done early on in my transition, but I shifted my attention elsewhere,, when I learned that I would need have much of the hair around my male genitals removed in order to have SRS. There are a couple of different topical creams, both OTC and prescription strength that you can apply that helps REDUCE the pain, but not entirely,,. I wonder how many guys are man enough for THAT? I sometimes quip that Im surprised despite the Electrolysis, and some laser as well. And the pain cream, etc etc. that the damn thing still, "works" ;)
