Ok, now for the the Sciencey bit!

Laser hair removal is a non-irritative, non-invasive, quick, and virtually pain free way to achieve smooth, hairless skin. It comes without the side-effects associated with other hair removal methods like waxing & shaving. Unwanted hair can have a devastating impact on self-esteem, confidence, and mental health. The side effects associated with these hair-removal methods, such as ingrown hairs, shaving rashes, bleeding & bacterial infections can be just as distressing. Laser hair removal is also suitable for the more sensitive areas of the body, like the face and pubis; areas that are more reactive to shaving and waxing.

For trans people, the results of laser can positively impact the feelings of dysphoria associated with hair growth, as well as eliminating the side effects of regular shaving/waxing.

Important to note, laser hair removal does not interfere with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). You can start your laser hair removal journey before or after starting HRT, either way, the laser remains effective. The destruction of follicles using laser can be achieved regardless of the presence of female to male (F2M) hormones. Also, laser will not affect your hormone levels.
