It will be no fun. But you just have to go through it one treatmetn at a time. Some days will be better than others. About 3/4s of the way through, you will want to quit, but you must keep it up. Make sure your skin is well hydrated. Xclair and biofine helped me a lot. But really, there is nothing to be afraid of. It doesn't hurt, it's just uncomfortable in the mask. Yourskin will get burnt, but with pain meds and xclair or biofine, it will heal quickly.
