The mentions of how painful it is turned me off, but I'm mid-40s and tired of constantly shaving my mustache and plucking chin hairs. I have fair skin and dark hair, so I'm a great candidate for lasers.
I used the Tria. I really didn't have high hopes for it, but it worked beautifully. I used it religiously every 10 days or so for ~6 months and then touch ups every few months or so. I'm 5 years out from when I started, and don't think I've needed to give a touch up since before the pandemic (so over 2 years). I have olive skin and dark hair. Pretty furry overall. It is somewhat painful, but not THAT bad. Upper lip is a small area and the pain is over quickly. It gets better as time goes on because there is less hair and what remains becomes thinner.
