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)

    Uuuh at my clinic they warned me against it and said it wouldn’t work 100%, before I told them I was taking hormones.

    But maybe you can start and get a couple sessions in before hrt? I would ask the clinic and your doctor to be sure.
