Title: Face laser while presenting female?
Post by: Apples Mk.II on August 21, 2013, 05:19:17 PM
Good night... I just came to realize that tomorrow is the first time I'm doing laser while in female attire... And I'm quite nervous.

So far, I've had seven sessions, and tomorrow comes the eight. As I am now, I shave every morning and apply beard cover on the mustache... If not, it still looks greyish. The rest of my face is clean, but that are will need to consider electrolysis

And if I remember correctly, no make up that day, plus going back home with a red face...
For the ones that still do laser, how do you go, react or whatever?

I just don't know how to be without make up in the lower part of my face...

Basically, I go without makeup and my beard shadow is there for all to see. Also, I don't wear a wig, so a hat has to cover my bald areas. If someone clocks me, they clock me. Same rules apply, I guess, as before I could pass well. To anyone that clocks me, I'm showing them the proud face of transgender.

As for the people at the laser place, they're always very accepting. That's what they're paid for.

  So true, especially with all the competition for business in my city.  They'd like me to stick around for some of the other treatments and spa services they offer so they'll keep right on treating me like gold.

If it gets cold where you live in the winter, you could always try wearing a scarf to hide the lower part of your face. ;) Just an idea.

35 celsius toda y, so I don,t think. One of the girls at work looks exactly like Kenny from South Park during winter... No makeup in the lower are tomorrow then...

In the end, it feels more weird when I go out in male mode with nail polish. The gym mostly, since I can't use the front extension there...
