Same.

That boiling water to the face would end the fight for many people is already well-represented by the fact that any head injury risks knockdown and stunning (p. B420). Most people would have the same reaction to being shot in the face or having their face sliced with a sword.

For some methods of handling pain after the initial adrenaline surge wears off, see Realistic Injury (GURPS Martial Arts, pp. 136-139). It doesn't address face attacks specifically, but you should be able to get some ideas from it.
