How long did you wait to go back for the ones that have? There is a group of ones that get long on the inner side of my libia majora.

    Well, lemmy being lemmy, and me scrolling all feed means that I ran across this, despite not being trans.

    However, I have helped trans friends post-GAS a few times now. Used to be a nurse’s assistant, so I tend to be the one people think of when they need help like that.

    Generally, based on what their doctors have said, and what they’ve shared with me, six months is usually recommended as the minimum time before having any other procedures done, and that includes things like hair removal. While laser only really affects the little bulb of the hair, it can cause inflammation and irritation that is not good for the healing process.

    Obviously, you’d want to consult your own doctor before getting LHR done, even if it’s well after the six month mark because not everyone heals at the same rate, in the same ways.

      Lol, getting my face Lazered by IPL was the worst for me. I go to a real laser place that uses liquid nitrogen spray so you hardly feel it.

        IPL can eat a dick, it’s not even really laser and it hurts like a mofo.

            I have a bunch of body mods, inc. tattoos, piercings and an implant. As far as people I know, I have a high pain tolerance for them. But IPL was worse in every way.
