So I decided to start doing something since i knew I have been trans for 4 yrs now but have not done anything. so I checked a local hair removal place out but they would not work on me since I have darker skin. So trying to find another one and really jump into this for 2015 over not doing anything since I think progress would make me happy. I like shopping,music,Japanese culture and video games :)
Hey Riley
Welcome to Susan's :) Great to have you here - looking forward to seeing you around the forum.
Unfortunately depending on the colour of your skin they may not be able to do any laser treatment at all. Has something to do with how the laser works. You may need to look at electrolysis as an option for beard removal. Have you been to see a counsellor or therapist yet, that is usually a good way forward too.

Have yet to meet with one. Was hoping to jump on Electrolysis prior but maybe finding a person is a better idea. just wish I had skin that did not make it look so obvious even after I shave
