No longer deferring the defurring

I'm thinking about asking the place I'm going to how much a torso laser would cost. I know I should just wait for HRT, but it's harder to bear the hair than I thought it was going to be. Weird how this has crept up on me.

For me, It was so much quicker and no pain at all. They use the same power laser but it sucks the skin into the head in about 5 cm areas (?) I didn't have the same sensitivity on the torsos as my face.
Nipples were sensitive but she used the high power spot laser around the areolae, and was careful not to hit the nipple. Bikini line was sort of fun.
We were both nervous, she had done it on 'females. including XXX laser (which sounds like you need a very steady hand :embarrassed:), but was a little worried about the junk. Neither of us could vocalise the concern. No matter how
we accept each accepted other
I was still a man with breasts and junk or a woman with junk and breasts (and don't anyone dare pick upon that comment, even though I'm no longer a Mod I will slam you :-*). It is a situation that we all reach,
we talked about doing the junk if they were cleaned shaved, and they are, but she was reluctant. I willingly accepted her concerns.  She also said she had only ever worked on 'woman' in that area. I totally accepted, and respected it.

People are people, that why I love them

Padma, do make sure you moisturise and sunscreen if going out after laser. I sort of did and got very told off because she picked skin damage from the 'odd' half day I didn't. Naughty girl :embarrassed: :embarrassed:

I just had my second electrolysis session, and for some reason neither of us could fathom, it was a lot more painful this time round. Same areas of face, same painkillers(!) - the only thing that was different was that my stubble was a lot shorter this time. I found myself wondering whether the facial nerves got sensitised by the previous session, or maybe it was just that today's hairs were all "difficult" ones compared to last time. Still pretty bearable, but my face is red and a bit welted this time, which it wasn't last time. On with the witchhazel!!

I also used icepacks.

I also found pain varied from session to session with no logical reason. My tech did say it could be hormonal, as women coming into their period get more pain sensations.

I also think it is psychological, I was so happy to start I could bear it, the last few were painful and I had less hair!

I have to go back for an upper lip again.

Oh Well

It won't stop me going back - I just need to neck my codeine a bit longer before the session starts, I think :). As for hormones, mine are all my own work at the moment, so I've only myself to blame. I'm still wondering about the sensitised nerves thing, because the pain reminded me of when I got my chest tattoo (don't ask) and about halfway through the two hours it took to ink in, it suddenly got a lot more painful - the tattooist said yes, the nerves will kick themselves up a notch sometimes to draw attention to damage being done!

I just tried out this Veet facial hair remover creme for women that a friend told me about - I suspected it wouldn't cut the mustard on bloke hair, and I was right, it didn't even make a dent on my upper lip hair. Roll on, HRT ::). I'm going to see my private psychiatrist in 10 days' time, he hinted that he might be up for recommending me for HRT by then, now that I've had time to settle in my new home and all that (it'll be our 3rd session, and 3 months since the first one). Fingers crossed.

Hope you get the HRT.
I was told that the anti-AAs are really good in preventing regrowth. I've been told to never use Veet or similar products on the face. Most of these contain sodium hydroxide (check the label), if you get sodium hydroxide (NaOH is the chemical name) in the eyes, you are blind just about instantly. No way back.

Hows the loom work going?

don't bother trying to kill facial or body hair with T in your body although the fact that I was 19 at the time might have impacted it it just regenerates too quickly... it regenerates alot even with HRT.
