Transgender Permanent Hair Removal Las Vegas

1. Most transsexuals report facial electrolysis taking from 1 to 4 years, with an anecdotal average around 2 years.

2. The amount of time it will take to complete electrolysis is the biggest variable.

3. Conventional wisdom and widely accepted anecdotal evidence puts the average time to completion between 200 and 300 hours. Some people have been done in less than 40 hours, some in over 700.

4. Electrologist skill plays the biggest part in treatment time needed. It's vital to get recommendations from local TSs who are done and happy.

5. Most people require 1 to 5 hours a week in the early stages of clearing. Most then reach a stage where they have one weekly session of 30 minutes to two hours or more. In the final stages, most will only need an hour or two each month to get stragglers.

6. Your costs will obviously be affected by the time you need. See the section on costs for more ways to reduce the time to completion.

7. Your physiology is the other major factor: amount and coarseness of your facial hair, your hormone levels, your pain threshold, and your skin's tolerance of treatment.

8. Your frequency and regularity of treatment will affect your treatment time. Do as much as you can afford, and stick with your electrologist's recommended schedule.

9. Plucking and waxing can make electrolysis more difficult, expensive, and time-consuming, as well as increase the risk of skin damage.

10. Many believe that the use of anti-androgens such as spironolactone can reduce treatment time, although they have little (if any) effect on existing facial hair.

11. Many believe that one modality is better than others at reducing total treatment time, although there is no definitive proof. Electrologist skill is more important than modality used.

12. Some hairs will regrow and require multiple treatments.

13. Subject has reported her electrologist has an average treatment time that is one-third the generally accepted average, although this is based on a small sample, and should be considered exceptional rather than what to expect.

14. See the section on when to start electrolysis for a discussion on planning for how long it will take.

Transgender Permanent Hair Removal

Body and Genital Hair Removal

Wait to start body work until your face is being cleared with an hour a week.

Many people find that testosterone blockers reduce body hair significantly over time.

Some with light skin and dark hair found laser to be helpful forreducing the darkness and coarseness of large amounts of body hair.

Many people only do electrolysis on face and possibly genitals prior to SRS, doing the rest with temporary methods.

Electrolysis is usually prioritized in this order:

1. Face first and foremost 2. Genitals prior to SRS 3. Highly visible areas, such as back of neck, outer ears and hands. 4. Hair considered "masculine," such as eyebrows, chest, shoulder, back, buttock, and bikini line hair. 5. Less common areas like abdomen, arms, legs, feet, and armpits are sometimes felt to be necessary.

Genital electrolysis:

SRS surgeons have been able to drastically reduce the need for abdomen and hip skin grafts in patients who cleared hair from the scrotum and penile base prior to SRS.

Some don't get genital electrolysis and don't feel they needed it.

Some post-operative SRS patients have reported that unremoved hair in and around their new vaginas caused aesthetic and functional concerns.

Consult with your SRS surgeon as to his or her preferences for area to be cleared.

Most surgeons will scrape or cauterize hair follicles on the graft site just before use, but doing electrolysis before surgery increases the likelihood that all follicles will be destroyed before the graft is part of your vagina.

You should plan for genital electrolysis to take about a year, although most get done sooner.

Your electrologist may require a letter or phone call from your doctor or therapist indicating that genital electrolysis is necessary in preparation for a medical procedure.

You may have to pay a higher hourly rate for genital electrolysis.

You must be scrupulous about hygiene when getting genital electrolysis, especially if getting it performed close to your surgery date.

Most people find genital electrolysis more painful than facial work. You may need to take additional steps to alleviate pain. Some have reported adequate pain relief with painkillers and/or EMLA, where others found injections necessary.

Treatment should be done at the highest machine settings. Unlike your face, it doesn't matter if you scar the skin slightly.

Most SRS surgeons recommend completing genital electrolysis one to six weeks before SRS. I recommend completing it at least six weeks before, and preferably 8 weeks before.

Most SRS surgeons recommend waiting to begin genital electrolysis prior to labiaplasty until 6 to 8 weeks after vaginoplasty, and to complete it one to four weeks prior to labiaplasty.

It is possible to get genital electrolysis post-surgically, but treatment may be more difficult or impossible in certain areas.

If you can't afford to risk your time, money, or the quality of your surgical outcome on unproven technology, you should invest in the only proven permanent hair removal option: traditional electrolysis where a probe is inserted in the follicle.

If you think it may be extremely painful for you, you may want to schedule a small test session at the end of a facial session before committing to a big block of time.

Treatment suggestions (see tips below for more):

Try to schedule genital work when you have a large block of time:

Trim hair in areas to be cleared, especially if thick.

Wear old underwear and loose pants or a skirt, especially if using EMLA.

Most people report that treatment of the scrotum is easier to bear than around the base. Plan accordingly.

Meticulous post-treatment skin care is very important to avoid infection and aid healing.

Genital hair removal with lasers has not been proven permanent.
