Keep shaving, hormones or lazer hair removal

[trapdyoungtg]

So I am at an ends rope with the hair on my body. I keep shaving. I have to shave every two days whole body to keep it smooth. I am debating on doing laser hair removal or start hormones to see if that will help with the hair issue. Does anyone have any knowledge on this? I am planning on moving onto a hormone regiment anyway is sooner better? Does anyone know any doctors I can talk to in MA USA for this? I would rather have good hormones not ones made in someones kitchen. Please help

get ipl or Laser , and maybe grow your hair out for abit and get waxed .. will keep you smooth for a few weeks at a time, which will then run into hte cycle for IPL/Laser anyway ..

Thank You on that. What about "Nair" is that as good as waxing?
Also can anyone talk to me about hormones? Is it worth it where i am at in life?

Ok
I wrote this three years ago, which at the time was about two years after starting HRT.
Looking back now, it's pretty good and worth considering.


Things not talked about:

HORMONES
Hormones mid 06 (Initially, self-med, now prescribed)
IF YOU ARE CONTEMPLATING SELF MEDDING, SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE, ITS NOT A GAME

Hormones really change you. Look at my pics; see how hormones have feminised my body, the soft facial features, the curves, the boobs.

Well, here the thing, the biggest changes, by far, are how hormones alter the way your mind works.
& its fucking scary.
You really don't want to go there if you don't have to.

Nothing makes any sense. All you understand about the world & how you interact, & fit into it,
gets jumbled up.
& ALL your friends & family get hit with the fall-out.
There is a bigger picture than just you but you do not see it till much later.
By then its all falling to shit.
This is why the medical profession make it such a big deal. Because it is a fucking huge deal.

& it takes ages for things to start making any sense, again.
Also, get ready for a mountain of self doubts & insecurity.

I've been on 'mones for over 18 months, & things are only now BEGINNING to fall back into place for me.
Look at my profile & postings, this gives you a small insight on how jumbled up your mind gets.
......& I didn't even mention the health risks...

FINALLY, ITS NOT ABOUT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, EVEN MINE. ITS ABOUT INFORMED CHOICE. YOU'RE AN ADULT, OVER TO YOU...

Over whelmed by that... And blinked alot.... thank you very much. I am not going to self medicate that is a little crazy i think. I was looking for discussion b4 hand to see if it was worth it at the stage of life i am at. I dont want to go to a random doctor with out questions or doubts or positives untill i have done research I lik to here from people direct instead of reading articles so thank you agin. Is there anything else you can tell me? It would be appreciated

Not really as its personal stuff.

What about you?
Put your reasoning up and let any trans reply with input.
And do searches on trans support forums
and ask in those places for info you are asking as well.
This site has very few trans on it and even fewer who will post answers.

Shaving is rubbish, especially doing it where you can't see! I still get ingrown hair, and stubble everywhere ten minutes after shaving.

Waxing leaves me smooth and looking just how I want, for maybe ten days, then the ingrown hair problems start. I exfoliated a lot, and a little, and I tried the recommended acne cream. You also have to let it grow out so you can wax it again, which means you look good about half the time.

I'm going to do laser, starting Thursday. I'm a little unconvinced and a little apprehensive, since I sunburn easily. I have decided that if it takes 8 visits, at about 4x what waxing costs, I'll catch up in just a couple of years. It is expensive though...
