So looking into this laser hair removal. Does the beard slow AT ALL with HRT just slightly even and should I wait till my beard slows down? Or do it as soon as I can afford it?
(which might be awhile anyway, depending but just wondering if HRT has any effect whatsoever on beard growth slowing down)

My understanding is that it is very rare that HRT has a effect on facial whiskers. One of the first things I did is start laser.

I waited. At seven months, beard just grows slower. Arm hair, stomach and chest hair thinned out. More ear hair. :'(

I didn't shave for a few days in order to test this a week ago. My conclusion was it took a little longer to come in and grew in slightly thinner. However, even if it does slightly reduce the speed of growth, you will need laser to prevent it from growing back.
Get laser done when you can. I'm waiting because I'm broke and saving money.

It is never to late to start laser. Even if the facial hair slows it does not go away on it own, HRT or not. Zap those suckers.

thanks ladies, you answered all my questions! Definitely getting laser in the next few months. Right now though i have 3 very large bills that are a few hundred each. So until than hoping my beard is less annoying even if it's still growing. Slower and finer sounds a lot better than nothing :D
