Laser is pretty permanent if you are on full HRT or post surgery... no new follicles grow without a normal male amount of testosterone, so it ends up being great. Took me 10 treatments or so, at about 150 per treatment, so not too bad pricewise; quick sessions, too. Now any hair on my face is fuzz, vellus stuff like cisgirls have. Doesn't work well on blonde or red hair, tho, so elect might be the only option for girls of that complexion.
