Hey girls,

I was wondering if starting facial laser hair removal before starting HRT is a good idea. I know that it will take a long time to finish so from that perspective it’s most certainly a good idea. And then there is also the possibility of the facial hair getting lighter with HRT where the laser won’t be as effective anymore so that’s also a plus for starting before HRT.

But what gives me some hesitation and doubt is that if I start laser hair removal without suppressed T that completely new hair follicles would grow which would ruin the results of previous sessions. Is that possible? Or are all the hair follicles I have in my face now all the hair follicles I will ever get/have and I don’t need to worry about that? (I hope you understand what I mean)

    I believe I heard drag queens mentioning they wish they started laser sooner to thin out and lighten hair, but not 100% sure on that. Make note though, orchiectomy did not help with an active reduction in hair nor a higher voice (which I was really hoping it would). I’ve had several sessions of laser and electrolysis to get to where I am.
