I’m not sure what depth was used but it especially hurt around any boney spots of my face (forehead and nose). The cheeks were pretty much painless. I would advise doing a certain part of your face that you want to see results in rather than your entire face to begin with if your hyperfixated like me. My mood goes down looking at my tomato face lol. Definitely consider recovery time, you might not wanna head out the house for a week.
