First Electrolysis Appointment Today

It hurts. A lot. I'm so very glad I cleared most of my face with laser because that little needle is an evil little thing. And I willingly made an appointment to go back in two weeks?

What's wrong with me?

I have 21 hours so far in electrolysis. My facial hair is too gray for laser treatment to work. I'm actually having my electrologist work on my upper lip right now. She is using the blend method. It's not as painful, at least to me, but slower. Still it is better at removing distorted follicles. If you don't got all the follicle the hair will grow back. And then have to be removed again.

I will use Thermolysis on other areas. The pain is more tolerable. Still I would like to try it again on the mustache because I'm beginning to tolerate the pain and might endure it this time. Thermoysis gets rid of at least 4 times the hair that blend does. Although more will grow back. I now have much more desire to get rid of the hair quicker now because the facial fair is making it harder to pass. I hate the feel and look at hair unless it's on the head, brows, or lashes.

Natasha,

Just remember this will eventually be over and the smooth face is worth every jolt.

Jenny,

How often are you going? I'm planning on once a week I think. Good God I hate the white beard, should have done it years and years ago.

I get thermal and blend mixed up sometimes lol. Thermal the tried and true been done for years and the blend the new version that really really destroys stuff with the chemical reaction.

Yes, thermal will get rid of more hair and yes there is the possibility of some of that hair growing back. The thing though is 4 times more hair it gets rid of that is awesome! The faster you get it cleared the happier you will be with your face and the cheaper too.

It's not so much how often I go, it's more on when I can afford it. I'm going next week for 2 hours and $45/hr. If everything works out, I should average 1 hour per week.

Jenny,

That I can understand, they say money talks, mine goes without saying. My electrologist is $50. and my plan was/is an hour per week.

You are a brave and determined woman, Tasha. I admire that in you. I will soon have to follow in your footsteps to the electrologist's door, and dread it.

What we don't do to be our true selves. We all deserve a Purple Heart, or at least a pink one. :)

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      Thanks, Mindy.

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.

      I raise my hand in the group, I have a question and a suggestion... is it allowed to share other new lgbtq+ website links here? 
    • Ladypcnj
      Yeah, ELF is a good brand, another brand is Revlon ColorStay last 24 hours.

      Sir is good, as well as mister! I don't mind Mx. but my brain's first thought is a mixer.

      giggles..sounds much more comfy   I'm on 5 minute break outside n wondering if i can open my blouse..oops..maybe not ..laughs

      I really don't think that's a good idea. The unity of the LGB and T community is historic and has been central for both groups rights. And the vast majority of people advocating for splitting the two are transphobic LGB's who are broadly condemned by the community anyway.

      Congratulations, and best wishes as you move forward.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      A bit late in updating, but I've had the draft of the official diagnosis and have (as yet unconfirmed) an endo consultation next month.   Next to arrive will be the supporting documentation for my new passport application for my correct gender.  This will then be my official ID for all the other updates - bank, tax, payroll etc.   It just feels good to to be proactive again rather than waiting for other people to move at a leisurely pace.

      I like ELF brand cosmetics, I can pick them up at JC Penny.    I wear makeup everyday, but mostly just very light makeup.

      Charlize, Mindy, and April Marie, thanks so much for the warm welcome!!  I can already tell that I am going to feel at home here and I look forward to interacting and getting to know everyone!!                                            💗 Cynthia

      Hello & welcome, @Ali_Genderlfuid! Look forward to learning more about you.

      Hi Mae Be, whenever it comes to makeup, there are so many different bands to choose from. Picking out the right makeup comes with trial and error, until you find one that works for you and blends well with your skin tone, some makeup products can leave the skin feeling oily. It's a good idea to look at the labels on the makeup product to know what the creators put in the makeup, just in case skin allergies. Once you found the makeup brand, you can add it to your shopping list, good luck
