Laser Hair Removal for Transgender Patients

Yes, you can begin treatment before starting hormone therapy. However, be aware that hormonal changes may affect hair growth patterns, so some patients prefer to wait until their HRT regimen is established. We can discuss the best timing for your individual situation during consultation.

Facial hair typically requires more sessions than other body areas—often 10-15 sessions or more. This is because facial hair follicles are deeper and more hormonally influenced. We’ll give you a realistic estimate based on your individual hair type and density.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles, which means it’s most effective on dark hair. White, grey, and very light blonde hair lacks sufficient pigment for laser treatment. If you have lighter facial hair, electrolysis may be a more suitable option, we’re happy to advise during your consultation.

No referral or letter is required. You can book directly with us for a consultation. All patients undergo the same assessment process based on skin type, hair type, medical history, and treatment goals.

Yes, we offer full intimate area treatments including Brazilian laser hair removal. These appointments are conducted with complete privacy, clear communication, and respect for your comfort and dignity at all times.

We respect and use your chosen name and pronouns throughout your care. Your comfort is paramount, and we strive to create a welcoming environment for all patients.

Yes, we treat patients both pre and post-surgery. Post-surgery treatment is only performed once the area is fully healed, and we may request medical clearance if appropriate.

Facial treatment can be more sensitive than other areas due to the density of hair and nerve endings. The Candela GentleMax Pro includes an integrated cooling system to minimise discomfort. Many patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pinch. We can also discuss numbing cream options if you’re concerned about sensitivity.
