Hi,
It seems that it can cause thinning...
Congrats on being one of the lucky ones.

Congrats! I got lucky there myself. Its such a life saver knowing laser/electrolysis won't be to costly.

I am too scared to have a beard. The day after I received my hrt letter, I got my first laser treatment.

Yes angélique, it affects facial hair . Hairs on my upper lip, chin didnt change but almost all my hairs on cheeks/jaw thinned, reduced in amount and turned blonde making it harder for my laser therapies.
I noticed same change to my scrotum... Yep i thought i would have to get it done with electrolyse/laser before SRS but it looks like its going away on its own following a female pattern.

I was always told that I was wasting my money by doing laser before HRT because it would thin it out a lot. I still did it because I couldn't stand the sight of it though.

Yeah but it depends wich zone. the beard 5oclock shadow wont dissapear by itself if you have it so better do laser :) . My friend has been on HRT for 4 year , hairs thinned and turned blonde but she has to pluck/shave because she has no money for electrolyse

Oh so jealous of you girls! :)
HRT is working wonders for me, but certainly not in that department lol. I'm still definitely getting lots of laser.
Anyway, awesome to know it can work for some! :)

BTW, laser is NOT always permanent, hairs can come back years after the last session.
