Ready for smooth skin? Electrolysis targets the hair root individually, guaranteeing permanent removal. It’s the only method recommended for pre-surgery preparation and long-term transgender confidence.
For trans women, hair on the upper lip, chin, and jawline is often a huge source of stress. Electrolysis can take care of it. Electrolysis is the best way to get rid of that pesky facial hair and alleviate gender dysphoria. Electrolysis hair removal is considered the gold standard because it’s the only one that’s FDA-approved as permanent. Unlike temporary methods like laser, electrolysis uses a precise current to zap and destroy every single hair follicle, one by one. And tt works on all hair colors and all skin types, so we can get you that smooth, lasting result that is so essential for your daily confidence, as part of your gender transition.
Honestly, the whole permanent facial hair removal journey is a marathon, not a sprint. We’re usually talking about 1 to 3 years to clear the whole beard. That’s because we have to catch every hair in its growth cycle. Each electrolysis session itself is quick, usually between 30 minutes to 2 hours, and we space them out just right. Think of it as a crucial part of your gender-affirming care—a consistent effort to achieve your long-term transgender facial hair removal goals.
It varies for everyone, but most clients start seeing noticeable results at about 7 to 15 sessions. Clearing the entire face with electrolysis is a true commitment, and it’s going to take a long time. For many, achieving that final, permanent hair removal means a weekly session for somewhere between 1 to 3 years. The great news is you’ll see noticeable results right away—things will get sparser and finer pretty quickly. And the weekly appointments tend to become part of your weekly routine – like hitting the gym.
Think of those weekly appointments as your essential self-care routine—a dedicated process for your facial feminization and crushing that gender dysphoria.
HRT for trans women is amazing for softening up new body hair, but it usually doesn’t do much for that coarse, existing facial hair. That’s why you need a powerful, targeted method like electrolysis! We find that combining HRT and hair removal is the absolute fastest path to relief from gender dysphoria. As the hormones do their work, they thin hair over time, making future electrolysis sessions easier and helping your overall transition process move along faster.
Yes! That’s the beauty of electrolysis. Since electrolysis targets the hair follicle itself and doesn’t rely on pigment like a laser would, we can safely and permanently remove hair no matter how much or how little melanin your skin has, how oily or dry, how healthy or challenged your skin might be. We can treat literally anyone. Electrolysis hair removal works on all hair types too — fine, coarse, curly, straight, or even if you have red, white, blonde, or grey hair. At Real You Electrolysis, we’re here to treat your unique self!
