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)
Personally I bought an IPL device. Attempted to use it all over but that wasn’t so successful, but it’s still good for the face, and taking the money saved to help with laser on my chest and back.
Since we’re gonna be shaving anyway you’re always in the perfect state to use IPL, pretty easy to fit in to a routine and has a bigger effect the longer you use it, and it’ll combine with HRT once you start.
That’s interesting that you had success with the face and not so much the rest of your body. I’ve had the opposite experience, where most of my body hair zaps away great, but my facial hair is stubborn. You have given me hope to keep trying at it!
