Title: Electrolysis and or laser prior to HRT?
Post by: jettsetter on December 27, 2014, 03:59:06 AM
Is there any benefit of HRT prior to laser hair removal? I'm fair skinned with dark body hair, and wondered if the process of laser will be easier with the effects of HRT lessening body hair? Or should I just start now with hair removal prior to starting HRT?

Thanks,

Bree

Start!

It is a bit easier when on HRT, but it takes so long you should start ASAP, IMO

Thanks for the advice, I have contacted a local provider who has experience with transgender women. I am scheduling a consultation right after the holidays. They recommended that I should start with my face, then move on to other problem areas.
