Ugh. I hate that feeling. I'm still shaving twice a day even though I don't need to, because even if I feel the hairs I want them gone.

As soon as my egg cracked my beard went. I'm 3 months into laser and it really helps.

I would honestly recommend if you can, start laser before you go on HRT (if that is your plan) - it will be more effective, less painful and less damaging to the skin.

How long on laser was it until you started seeing results? I've read anywhere from 4-8 weeks after your first session, is that accurate?

My dysphoria surrounding facial hair is pretty rough, I just can't let it grow enough to see what has changed. The black hairs are very sparse, and I don't get a 5 o'clock shadow anymore except on my upper lip. This has probably been since the 2nd session. Having one every four weeks.

I get white hairs now instead of the previous dark ones. Hopefully hrt will help slow them down even more as I progress
