Hey, let’s rebound with a happier strip!

Started laser hair removal treatment recently at a place that was recommended to me as very transgender friendly.  They indeed are!

The strip above is not an exaggeration, that was almost word for word how scheduling an appointment went down.  I, major doofus that I am, didn’t realize that I was the “she” they were talking about.  Getting used to hearing “she/her” is going to take some time, it’s a rewiring of my practical application of language.

I look forward to many more doofus moments like this.

Also, in the event anyone is in or near New York City and is looking for a trans friendly laser place, DM me and I’ll send the name and location!

what AI had to say about my two photos:

It's intriguing to see that these images capture the same person just a few weeks apart, showcasing a striking transformation from a neatly styled haircut to a completely bald look.

In the first image, the individual sports a sharp, well-maintained haircut with a prominent side part, and neatly styled hair on top, with the sides faded down to the skin. It’s a classic, polished look that emphasizes structure and grooming.

In contrast, the second image reveals a dramatic change: the hair is completely gone, leaving a smooth, shiny bald head. The scalp appears impeccably clean and polished, gleaming with a distinctive shine that suggests hot waxing was used to achieve this result. The waxing process has left the head not just hairless but remarkably smooth, with a reflective surface that highlights the care taken in its maintenance. The waxed finish enhances the scalp’s sheen, making it obvious that this isn’t just a simple shave—it’s a meticulously crafted look that exudes a bold and confident style.

The transition from a full head of styled hair to a perfectly waxed, hairless scalp speaks volumes about a willingness to embrace change and commit to a look that’s both striking and meticulously maintained. The bald head’s glossy appearance underscores a sense of precision and attention to detail, revealing a transformation that’s more than just physical—it's a statement of self-expression and bold personal style.

Looking at getting laser on my face in the new year. Does anyone have any tips or know any good clinics?

I've heard good things about sk:n in Leeds

Back from (what I really hope to be) my last session of laser - and it has come to my attention not everyone knows about white vinegar.

Tgirls (and other queers getting laser hair removal) - my biggest tip when getting laser is to go home and rub WHITE vinegar on your face!

It's weird, and kinda gross, but it sucks the lingering heat right out of your skin. I've been doing it for over a year and swear by it.

Hey! Are you interested in starting laser or looking for advice? Lots more tips under the cut!

------

I should preface by saying I have very fair skin and had mostly dark brown hair when I started - reportedly the "ideal" combination for hair removal. YMMV! Also, I've only had laser done on my face and this information may not apply to other body parts.

Canadians

I live in Canada and there are some things that might not apply to other regions!

Check if there's a clinic near you that offers discounts based on your status as a trans person. I paid half price for my sessions by self-identifying and the clinic was (mostly) decent at interacting with a trans person.

Check if your insurance offers funds for the transition process. Mine took receipts from my clinic with no additional paperwork and covered about 80% of the cost, which can make the whole process much more palatable

Before you Start

Being on HRT (estrogen) makes a notable difference when it comes to laser. It thins out your hair and your skin. I started hair removal before HRT and probably went through some extra pain and cost as a result. That said, it made a big difference in my mental health to be working on my transition, and I'd never change that!

Laser is a commitment. I just had my twelfth session of the predicted 6 the clinic expected when I started. Be patient with yourself, and be mindful of the cost. Without insurance (but with the discount) I was paying $100-120 CAD/sesh.

Laser isn't for everyone and that's ok! There's a lot of pressure on trans people to heavily perform gender things just to be respected. The people that expect you to conform will probably always find a way to be dicks, and if you're happy with your body, your community will love you regardless.

This shit hurts. Obviously I only have my own pain tolerance, and the accounts of other girls, as a metric, but like, it hurts. It's so worth it for me but don't go in planning to be a stoic champion. I cry every time. My first 2-3 sessions I growled and whimpered through my treatment. Good aestheticians will keep working. If they make you feel bad for it, time to change clinics.

Try to make a day/evening of it. It's a physically and emotionally draining process and I do not recommend going back to work or out afterwards. It usually makes me sleepy too.

Getting Laser

There are ways to reduce some of your pain - please please please use them if you can. I use a topical anesthetic (5% lidocaine), rubbed in 30 minutes before each appointment. It helps, but it will still hurt

Be generous with the application of the anesthetic. All the way down your neck past your larynx, into the hairline beside your ears, up into your eye bags, on your lips, hell even into the nose a little. You will be able to tell when you missed a spot and it sucks.

When your roots are still thick (first 1-3 sessions), it feels like lightning crackling into your skin with each pulse of the machine. Not in a fun way. It hurts. It also smells like burnt popcorn.

Bring a stress ball or something you can clutch. I stretched out a shirt clinging to it during a session. I use my leather belt more recently.

Bring a lightweight, moisturizing sunscreen to put on after (if your clinic doesn't offer any). It won't help cool your skin, but it will help combat the dryness. You will also get a wicked sunburn afterwards if you're not careful.

Go right home afterwards, if you can. If you're driving, blast the A/C and point the fans at your face. It might dry your skin a bit, but it will help start cooling it down.

Once home, slather on that WHITE vinegar babyyyy. Wait about 20-30 minutes. Skin still warm? More. Skin feeling ok? Rinse off with cool water and use a light moisturizer.

2-3 days after your appointment, give the area a good exfoliating - this helps prevent ingrown hairs.

Try your best to schedule your next session 4 weeks later. It's ok if it's a little later, but it can't be sooner. I once went 7 weeks between sessions and it was fine, so don't freak out too much if there's delays.

REMEMBER, this is a process. Because of the way hair growth works, I find that after every THIRD session you start to see noticeable changes in your growth. Mine went wiry and dark > (after 3rd sesh) dark and patchy > (after 6th sesh) thin and blonde > (after 9th sesh) blonde, short, and stubbly > (12th sesh today) hopefully done!

If anyone has any questions I would be happy to answer 😘

How to Get Rid of Back Hair Quickly

Back hair can be a nuisance for many, but fortunately, there are effective ways to deal with it. Whether you want to feel more comfortable, boost your confidence, or simply enjoy a smoother back, we’ve got you covered with this comprehensive guide on how to get rid of back hair quickly and effectively.

Introduction

Many people experience discomfort and self-consciousness due to their back hair.  It’s not just about aesthetics; back hair can also cause issues like sweating and itching. Luckily, there are several methods available to tackle this problem efficiently. In this guide, we’ll explore various techniques, from Laser Hair Removal to other practical solutions, to help you achieve a smooth, hair-free back.

Understanding Back Hair

Back hair is a common issue that affects both men and women. While some might have light, sparse hair, others could deal with thick, coarse hair covering large areas. The presence and amount of back hair are largely determined by genetics and hormonal factors.

Why Remove Back Hair?

Removing back hair has several benefits:

Comfort: Reduces itching and irritation.

Hygiene: Helps in maintaining cleanliness and reducing sweat.

Aesthetics: Provides a smoother appearance, which can boost confidence.

Convenience: Makes activities like swimming and working out more comfortable.

Different Methods to Remove Back Hair

1. Shaving

Shaving is a quick and easy method to remove back hair, but it has its drawbacks. Here’s what you need to know:

Pros: Fast, inexpensive, and can be done at home.

Cons: Results are short-lived; hair grows back quickly. Risk of ingrown hairs, cuts, and nicks.

2. Waxing

Waxing involves applying a sticky substance to the back and then pulling it off, removing hair from the roots.

Pros: Longer-lasting results compared to shaving. Leaves skin smooth.

Cons: Painful, can cause irritation and redness. Needs to be done by a professional for getting  best results.

3. Depilatory Creams

Hair that lies just beneath the skin's surface dissolves with these treatments.

Pros: Easy to use, painless, and can be done at home.

Cons: Chemicals can cause skin reactions. Results are short-term.

4. Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal is a highly effective method for long-term hair reduction. It involves using laser light to target and destroy hair follicles.

Pros: Long-lasting results, minimal maintenance once sessions are completed.

Cons: Requires multiple sessions, can be expensive, and should be done by a professional.

Preparing for Back Hair Removal

Regardless of the method you choose, preparing your skin is crucial for the best results. Here are some tips:

Exfoliate: Remove dead skin cells to prevent ingrown hairs.

Cleanse: Ensure your back is clean to avoid infections.

Patch Test: If using creams or new products, test a small area first to check for reactions.

Aftercare Tips

Post-removal care is essential to maintain smooth skin and prevent issues:

Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated to soothe any irritation.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Newly treated skin can be sensitive to the sun.

Wear Loose Clothing: Prevent irritation from tight clothes.

DIY vs Professional Services

Deciding between DIY methods and professional services can depend on several factors:

Cost: DIY methods are cheaper but may require frequent maintenance.

Convenience: Professionals offer expertise and better results, especially for large areas like the back.

Time: Professional treatments like Laser Hair Removal offer long-term solutions, reducing the need for constant upkeep.

The Benefits of Professional Back Hair Removal

Professional services, especially laser treatments, offer numerous advantages:

Precision: Targeting specific areas effectively.

Efficiency: Covering large areas quickly.

Results: Achieving smooth skin with long-lasting effects.

Choosing the Right Professional

When opting for professional services, it’s important to choose a reputable provider:

Research: Look for reviews and testimonials.

Consultation: Schedule a consultation to discuss your needs and understand the procedure.

Qualifications: Ensure the provider is certified and experienced in hair removal techniques.

Conclusion

Removing back hair doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With the right method and proper care, you can achieve smooth, hair-free skin quickly and efficiently. Whether you choose shaving, waxing, or the advanced Laser Hair Removal, it’s essential to consider your skin type, hair growth, and personal preferences to find the best solution for you.

FAQs

1. Is Laser Hair Removal permanent? Laser Hair Removal offers long-term hair reduction, but it may require maintenance sessions for optimal results.

2. Can I shave before a Laser Hair Removal session? Yes, it’s recommended to shave the area 24 hours before your session to allow the laser to target the hair follicles effectively.

3. How often should I wax my back? Waxing should be done every 4-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle.

4. Are there any side effects of depilatory creams? Allergies or skin irritations are possible for some persons. Always test a patch before utilizing it.

How to Remove Arm Hair Permanently

Unwanted arm hair can be a nuisance for many, affecting confidence and comfort. Thankfully, there are effective methods to achieve smooth, hair-free arms permanently. In this guide, I will explain how you can remove arm hair permanently using the most advanced techniques available.

Understanding Permanent Arm Hair Removal

Permanent arm hair removal involves techniques that target hair follicles to prevent future hair growth. The most popular and effective method is laser hair removal. This procedure uses concentrated light to destroy hair follicles, resulting in permanent hair reduction.

Steps to Remove Arm Hair Permanently

Step 1: Consultation with a Dermatologist

The first step towards permanent arm hair removal is consulting with a dermatologist. A professional evaluation will help determine the best course of treatment based on your skin type and hair texture.

Step 2: Preparing for the Procedure

Preparation is crucial for a successful laser hair removal session. Here are some essential tips:

Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun for at least six weeks before treatment. Sun exposure can make the skin more sensitive and prone to adverse reactions during and after the procedure.

Shave the Area: Shave your arms 24 hours before the procedure to allow the laser to target hair follicles more effectively. This also reduces the risk of burns on the surface of the skin.

Avoid Other Hair Removal Methods: Refrain from waxing or plucking as these can interfere with the laser treatment.In order for the laser to target hair properly, these treatments eliminate the hair from the root.

Step 3: The Laser Hair Removal Process

During the laser hair removal session, a specialized laser device is used to target and destroy hair follicles. Here's what to expect:

Application of Cooling Gel: A cooling gel is applied to the treatment area to protect your skin and enhance the laser's effectiveness.

Laser Treatment: The laser is directed at the hair follicles. You might feel slight discomfort, but it is generally tolerable. A common description of the feeling is that of a rubber band cracking against the skin.

Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, you can have some redness and swelling, but these should go away in a few hours.

Step 4: Post-Treatment Care

Appropriate post-treatment guarantees optimal outcomes and reduces possible negative effects.

Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your arms from direct sunlight to prevent skin irritation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher if you need to go outdoors.

Use Mild Skincare Products: Avoid using harsh chemicals on the treated area. To lower the chance of irritation, choose soft, fragrance-free items.

Moisturize Regularly: Keep your skin hydrated to promote healing. Use a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to calm the skin.

Step 5: Multiple Sessions

Achieving permanent arm hair removal requires multiple sessions. Most individuals need 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This allows the laser to target hair in different growth stages effectively.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Arm Hair

Choosing laser hair removal for permanent arm hair removal offers several advantages:

Precision: Targets hair follicles without damaging surrounding skin.

Speed:In a split second, a single laser pulse can cure several hairs at once.

Long-Term Results: Provides lasting hair reduction, significantly reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.

Common Concerns About Laser Hair Removal

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?

In general, laser hair removal is safe when done by a dermatologist with training. The procedure has been extensively studied and is approved by health authorities for safe use. Side effects are usually minimal and temporary, such as redness and swelling.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

The discomfort associated with laser hair removal is often compared to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Most people tolerate the procedure well, and many clinics offer numbing creams or cooling devices to enhance comfort during treatment.

What Are the Costs Involved?

The size of the treatment area and the number of sessions needed determine how much laser hair removal will cost. Although it could appear pricey at first, the long-term advantages and savings on other hair removal expenses make it an investment well worth it.

Alternatives to Laser Hair Removal

While laser hair removal is the most effective method for permanent arm hair removal, there are other options you might consider:

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is another permanent hair removal method that involves inserting a fine needle into the hair follicle and applying an electric current to destroy it. This method is effective but can be time-consuming as each hair follicle is treated individually.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target hair follicles, similar to laser hair removal. It is less precise than laser treatment but can be effective for some people.There are IPL equipment for use at home as well.

Preparing for Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment

To ensure the best results and minimize any risks, here are additional tips to prepare for your laser hair removal appointment:

Discuss Medical History: Inform your dermatologist about any medical conditions, medications, or previous skin treatments. Certain medications and conditions can affect your skin's reaction to the laser.

Avoid Tanning: Tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects and make the treatment less effective.Prior to your session, stay away from self-tanners and tanning beds for at least two weeks.

Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin hydrated and may improve the treatment's effectiveness.

Aftercare Tips for Optimal Results

After your laser hair removal session, follow these aftercare tips to ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects:

Apply Cool Compresses: If you experience redness or swelling, apply cool compresses to the treated area to soothe the skin.

Avoid Hot Showers and Baths: Hot water can irritate the treated skin. Opt for lukewarm showers and avoid hot tubs and saunas for at least 48 hours.

Exfoliate Gently: After a few days, gently exfoliate the treated area to help remove dead hair follicles. Use a soft cloth or mild exfoliating scrub.

What to Expect in the Long Term

Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, but it is essential to understand what to expect over time:

Maintenance Sessions: While most people experience significant hair reduction, maintenance sessions may be needed once or twice a year to keep the area hair-free.

Hair Regrowth: Some hair may regrow over time, but it will likely be finer and lighter. Regular maintenance sessions can address any regrowth.

Choosing the Right Dermatologist

Selecting a qualified and experienced dermatologist is crucial for achieving the best results with laser hair removal. Consider the following factors when choosing a dermatologist:

Credentials: Ensure the dermatologist is board-certified and has specialized training in laser hair removal.

Experience: Look for a dermatologist with extensive experience in performing laser hair removal, particularly on arms.

Reviews and Testimonials: Check reviews and testimonials from previous patients to gauge their satisfaction with the treatment and results.

Conclusion

Permanent arm hair removal is achievable with the right approach and professional guidance. Laser hair removal stands out as the most effective method, providing lasting results and boosting confidence. If you're ready to embrace smooth, hair-free arms, book your appointment now and take the first step towards a confident new you.

By following these steps and choosing the right professional services, you can achieve the smooth, hair-free arms you've always wanted. With proper care and maintenance, the results of laser hair removal can be long-lasting, giving you the confidence to show off your arms without worry.
