Advert for this on telly right now.  reviews are very variable and £349 in UK = $520 US but no doubt its availabel a lot cheaper in US or elsewhere as we UK folkare ripped off in every way.

Replacement tubes seem necessary for people who the system doesn't work quickly on.

I've had wonderful success with the Elos. I think a good deal of the success comes from the operator. I was lucky enough that the doctor himself manned the laser. Cleared about 90% of my dark hairs in 3 sessions. I think about 3 or 4 more sessions should do it.

I'm rather sceptical of the hand held devices. The epilator might be doing the majority of the work, and any epilators do. I've been zapped with the high energy commercial lasers by professionals and it took a while to remove my facial hair. But it has gone :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This only makes me more anxious for the day I'm completely smooth and I never have to shave again.

Hair removal is probably going to be the most expensive part of my transition, because I want it all gone.

If you can wait until you are on HRT. All hair removal methods work better then.
