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)

Please don't assume that everyone is from the US.

Well hopefully other places have laser centers that offer lifetime guarantees, I don't think that's a US only thing.
