Hrt And Soft, Girly Skin...

[Guest RainBird]

I was really interested to find out from anybody how long as a general rule does it take for your skin (whole body) to have that soft girly look, I've been on HRT for 9 months now and while it has softened quite alot it still appears kinda "Masque" around my arms, neck and shoulders (not my face though)

I was wondering will years of HRT bring your body's skin to that of the level and appearence of GGs or will I always have skin that looks a little bit 'tough'?

I know it takes several years to grow but I can't help but want to hear the opinions of others

Anybody who has been on prologed HRT or has any idea about this would be gweatly appweciated

Much luv

Hi,

I think my question also fit into this thread. If you have HRT to get a female body do you also get cellulite?

You're vulnerable to breast cancer (as much or more than cissexual women), I'm not sure what causes cellulite.

As for skin texture, it should eventually be the same as most cissexual women. I don't know how long it would take. 9 months seems a short time though.

It took me 6 months just to get rid of my acne (that I had for 8 continuous years!), with HRT.

Not being a Dermitologist I can't remember how long it takes for the entire epidermal to replace itself, but it is measured in years I believe. And another factor is sun damage - that will never be completely repaired becuase women are subject to that as well.

Be patient Sweetheart, you are getting there!

Love ya,

Celulite is also known as fat, & it is created from the foods that we eat as well as from our climate (IE conditions cause the body adds or subtracts fat in order to keep the body warm or cool as needed) but it is more shifted around to give a more womanly apearance. And just in case you are wondering I'm not on HRT yet

Well... HrT takes aprox. 5 - 7 years to complete (its almost like doing puberty all over again, or for the first time if you're that lucky )

So it will take that amount of time for your full results.

Also you have to take into concideration the amount of skin shedding that has to be done for all the areas of skin to be fully female... Its literally like you're "shedding" you male layers. Since you have seven layers of skin, you're going to need to shed those layers before the skin that has grown under the HrT influence can be fully visible. So gradually after many months, your skin will be smoother.

Also the skin shedding process isn't general, so it will happen faster in more exposed areas and slower in less exposed ones. You should have nocticed that your veins are also becoming less visible which adds to the sofness effect this is a side effect of the more loose and transparent skin that is female skin.

Hope that makes sense! I'm tired today

I have been on HRT for less time than you and I was complimented on my skin texture last night - surprised me - a mother of an MTF at one of the meetings I attend. Wow - but I have always had womanly skin for a male - its now just that there is a boost to it I guess.

YMMV - your mileage may vary, I suppose

Like everyone says - just be patient.

All cells in one's bodies have a lifespan at max of 7 years, or so I heard. Skin is probably no different.

I'm complimented over the skin texture of my hands sometimes, they seem to be "girly" to some, although I did 5 years of warehouse/manufacture work, which haven't exactly been all that tender to my hands. They look like I haven't ever worked manually.
