How will I find a skilled technician?

Referrals from satisfied customers are usually your best bet. If you know of someone who has had good results, ask them for a referral. Online social community message boards are also a good source of local information, although when it comes to your body, seeing is believing.

What types of treatments are available?

There are basically two types of treatments available, electrolysis and laser hair removal. Electrolysis is still touted as the leading permanent transgender hair removal method and is a slow, more painful process. With electrolysis, a needle is inserted into the individual hair follicle and a small electrical current is discharged. This electrical current destroys the hair follicles one by one. Laser concentrates on a larger area and sends intense laser energy into a group of hair follicles. This laser heat loosens the hair and disables hair growth cells. Laser is faster and less painful and works well for general areas and on lighter skin. Many technicians and clients choose a combined approach of laser and electrolysis for best results.

How long are treatments?

Are you ready for a long-term commitment? A transgender woman can expect a total time commitment of one to four years; the average is usually two years or 200 to 300 hours. Expect to start with one to two treatments a week, for the first few months, with each treatment taking approximately 30 minutes. At the end of your treatments, expect to come less frequently, once or twice a month.

What helps/hinders hair removal?

Plucking and waxing make the hair removal process more difficult and should be avoided to reduce your treatment time and costs.

Why so many treatments?

There are many factors that influence the amount of treatments you will need, physiology is the largest factor. Hormone levels, pain threshold, amount and thickness of hair as well as your skin's acceptance of treatments and taking testosterone blockers to help retard hair growth are all factors.

What about pain?
