Laser hair removal question !

[lilangel]

Hi! I am 18 (almost 19) and I want to start hormones in 2015. Now I am debating on whether I should laser my face and neck before or after starting hrt. I am about an NW20/25 at MAC and my hair is about a level 4 dark brown (same w/ facial hair). Right now I look very androgynous and I always get called ma'am from customers at work and pass as female most of the time even w/ short hair. I feel like the one of the only things holding me back is my stupid beard and flat chest!! My beard has pretty thick and course but it's not like a "mans beard" I guess? Again I'm only 18. A place where I live is offering $800 for 5 sessions. I hate shaving and my skin is extremely sensitive!!

My questions now are:
1. Am I a good candidate for this?
2. Will it grow back years later?
3. Will I have a shadow forever after it is lasered off?

Sounds like you're a good candidate, but the laser techs will be able to tell you with more certainty since they'll see you in person.

What's killed with laser stays dead; it may not kill everything, but it's a good start.

I had it done over five years ago now and have only a handful of surviving hairs, and no, there's no "shadow" once it's all dead. That shadow is the hairs growing under the skin; no hairs = no more shadow.
