Everyone understands the concept of beauty, but each person expresses it differently. Your own definition of beauty is determined by your understanding of who you are as a unique person, which is the reason for your gender transition. When you feel good about yourself, life is more exciting and fulfilling.
At times we seek assistance to enhance our appearance so we can be truly comfortable with ourselves and embrace life more fully. You may find, as many others have, that permanent hair removal can help you express your finest self and reveal the beautiful individual that you are.
Electrolysis is the solution for you if you’re looking for a method to permanently eliminate facial hair and excessive body hair as part of gender reassignment. It’s the key to getting the sophisticated, smooth, hairless appearance you want.
Will an electrologist understand what transgender is about?
It might be a common notion in your mind, ‘Permanent hair removal is an important aspect of my procedure. I’m on hormone treatment to stop new hair growth, but I need a permanent solution for my existing facial and body hair. I’ve done my research, and I know that electrolysis is the only permanent procedure.’ You’re reluctant to pick up the phone because you’re not sure whether other people will accept it.
Your electrologist will absolutely understand! It’s best to select a certified electrologist to ensure that you are working with someone who takes utmost pride in performing their professional responsibilities and is knowledgeable about transgender treatment. I graduated from the California Electrology Academy, which is one of the best schools in the United States are studies focused on working with transgender clients and educating ourself on the process. A professional electrologist is aware of what you are trying to accomplish and how electrolysis fits into your process.
Will the electrologist have experience with transgender clients?
Yes! absolutely. There is no judgement here. I pride myself in having worked people of all walks in life. An electrologist who is experienced with the transgender population will likely also have a referral source of MDs, cosmetologists, estheticians, massage therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists to share with you, if you wish. An electrologist with transgender experience can be a valuable partner in your transition.
Can electrolysis remove hair in the genital area?
Yes. However, your electrologist may ask which surgeon you are working with in order to follow his/her pre-surgical protocols. It is important to allow sufficient time prior to surgery to complete genital hair removal in order to prevent future ingrown hairs internally.
Why does the electrologist need to know what protocol or program I’m on?
Your electrologist understands the committment necessary to make a gender transition and they take it as seriously as you do. It is important to ensure that your electrolysis treatments occur at the right point in your process and in a way that works in concert with your health and long-term goals.
