laser is quick but its not permanent removal but permanent reduction. It is awesome for dark hairs. You spend about 20 minuted per session. price depends on your location. it will hurt getting zapped. also need up make sure you wear sunscreen and try not to tan during the warmer month.
electrolysis is a permanent removal solution. it is costly and it is the slowest. rates depend on location (where you live). pain depends on area being treated. for me around the edge of my lip hurts like the dickens.
as when to start. the sooner the better honestly. I started 8 months before going full time.

Laser works best on dark hair on fair skin. Some people have both. Laser for my darker hairs and electrolysis for the red, blond, and white, which is still ongoing.

Laser is pretty permanent if you are on full HRT or post surgery... no new follicles grow without a normal male amount of testosterone, so it ends up being great. Took me 10 treatments or so, at about 150 per treatment, so not too bad pricewise; quick sessions, too. Now any hair on my face is fuzz, vellus stuff like cisgirls have. Doesn't work well on blonde or red hair, tho, so elect might be the only option for girls of that complexion.

Yeah. I plan on lasering my torso since I'm pasty white and I've got thick black hair (eugh). My face... I want to start out with laser, but I'm going to have to electro around the mouth becuase I've started to go gray.
