Transgender Hair Removal
Normal male levels of testosterone leads to body hair growth that can be perceived
as undesirable. We have many transgender clients that rely on us to help lessen
or eliminate hair growth in these areas:
- Pubic hair extending to thighs
- Facial hair (sideburns, beard, moustache)
- Nose and/or ear hair
- Chest hair, periareolar hair, perianal hair
- Leg hair
- Axilla (underarm) hair
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for transgender and transsexual people changes
the balance of sex hormones in their bodies and this will reduce hair growth,
however it does not completely eliminate it in all areas. HRT cannot destroy
or influence hair existing at the time therapy is started, which makes is necessary
to use electrolysis and/or laser hair removal methods.
Conversely, trans men may find that HRT cause hair growth that is excessive
for their taste and may require assistance to manage this.
