Well, lemmy being lemmy, and me scrolling all feed means that I ran across this, despite not being trans.
However, I have helped trans friends post-GAS a few times now. Used to be a nurse's assistant, so I tend to be the one people think of when they need help like that.
Generally, based on what their doctors have said, and what they've shared with me, six months is usually recommended as the minimum time before having any other procedures done, and that includes things like hair removal. While laser only really affects the little bulb of the hair, it can cause inflammation and irritation that is not good for the healing process.
Obviously, you'd want to consult your own doctor before getting LHR done, even if it's well after the six month mark because not everyone heals at the same rate, in the same ways.
True, I have been cleared for swimming and sex but have an in person follow-up in February so I'll wait till then.
Yah, it isn't a huge wait, so better safe than sorry.
