Philips Lumea for face chin hair - will it work?

I have a light skinned face and dark hair. Specifically, two large thick sprouts of chin hair that I currently shave twice a day. I'm only mid-30s it's horrible. Possible PCOS.

The Philips Lumea BRI956/00 is about £400 so not cheap. Has anyone experience of it working/not working on face hair? Most of the online reviews seem to be about leg and arm hair.

Does it hurt at all?

They had the BR1953/00 in Costco for £300 a few weeks ago so maybe still got them.

Which model do you all think works best on facial hair? I'm every day plucking thick black hairs and can't bear to leave them long enough to wax. Looks like the lumea may be the way forward

Mine has made my facial hair darker and thicker! I'm not having to wax twice a week!
