Having used Effudex a number of times ... including a full face treatment ... it is not fun; however, it is very effective and ... 'you will survive.' If you are very apprehensive, you might do an experiment with maybe just one small spot on your face (or the back of your hand) ... just the size of a finger tip. That would give you a good feel for the dynamics of the process. There is really no 'softer' alternative and if the skin is damaged it has the potential to develop into something serious which might require even more aggressive or 'uncomfortable' procedures.
