I've probably put in about $1200 for the face and $1800 for the brazillian in laser treatments (face has electrolysis too). The face still has a long ways to go, although the dark hair is almost gone. Probably will need to spend a few hundred more for the brazillian. Most of the hair is gone, but have gray hairs still remaining. I haven't even touched the rest of the body.

The cost really depends on what kind of hair you have. If you have dark hair, you are lucky and it will cost a lot less. You still will probably run into 5 figures.

Hi Cynthia

Well I was not lucky enough to have facial hair that was treatable by laser, too light / white. I do regular electrolysis sessions on my face 2 hours per week. I have about 126 hours completed at this point and the service costs me $70 / hr, I;ve spent over $8700 so far, plus travel time (1 hour round trip) and vehicle expenses (gas, tires, oil) I estimate I will need about 200 hours of electrolysis to complete my facial hair removal project, that's over $14,000, not trivial for me, so worth it however to have a smooth face again.

Then there is "down there" before GCS, that will be something like 10-20 hours of electrolysis so add another $1400.

The rest of the body hair, legs, arms, and upper torso, has become so insignificant with HRT for me that all I have are some small expenses for razors, and wax kits.

Well I haven't done any hair removal except on my face because HRT is slowly reducing my overall body hair. But I believe my laser place charges about 200 dollars for full chest/stomach area treatments, a little less for back and shoulders. That's per treatment.. Really depends on how thick your body hair is, I know with my treatments to remove my facial hair they charged me about 120 per treatment for the first 6 treatments then after that it was considered maintenance and they charged half price.. but I've probably spent close to 1000 dollars on hair removal so far.

The place I go has discounts for 3 and 6 treatments. After the 6 treatments, it is half price for that particular area, but only if you get the 6 treatments. I will have my 9th treatment in the lower area, and probably last, coming up soon. I've gone over 4 months without treatment, and not many dark hairs have resurfaced. What's leftover will have to be done by electrolysis.With the 6 treatments you have a payment plan where it needs to be paid off in 3 months.

I've probably spent 1500 AUD so far on face, chest and belly button area. That's 150 each session for 15 mins.

now I'm getting my armpits done. Its a weird feeling.

Hi Cynthia,

I may have set a record for least treatment required. In fact, I never kept track of it. I'm guessing that I had around $2,500 worth of electrolysis total, including perhaps 10 hours of pre-SRS electro. My body hair was zapped by my genetic background, apparently - it all went away in my 20's.

I should go back to get a few stragglers on my lip, but haven't had the time...

Love, Megan

I feel like at a 1000 for the machine adn equipment and getting the knowledge your self you could afford to do it yourself

OK im not including costs of razors because that would be there regardless because without the treatment your going to buy razors anyway, thats my logic

so the machine cost me 280 but ill just take that out and just go for cost of cartridges average i spent

Aprox 100 to remove the hair on my face i assume it will take about one more head and it will cost then 130

if you average the machine in thats 410 its going to cost me for full facial hair removal however, the cost for

the rest of the body will bring that cost down. Plus i dont have to worry about my appointments, i zap my self three days in

a row in the same spot thankfully my skin can take it. and it does a lot more as a appossed to only 1 day what a bit.

I also have what i think is very thick hair. It probably would have removed all my facial hair by now if i hadnt deviated from

my face. I also found some other things does and donts with the Silk'n Flash N Go to help the process.

However sadly to say i dont know about light skin light hair or dark skin dark hair, all i know is you can by the machines and stuff for about

the price of a lap top,

Hi Cynthia -

Yes, I could buy a machine and probably learn to do it myself, however there are some intangables with person I go to i'll mention here, she has become a friend and confidant, she is like my 2nd GT in many ways, we discuss very personal issues, she knows of "our" issues quite well, gives me all kinds of breaks on time and supplies (numbing cream). I trade computer consulting for time in her chair for example. For me it's part of the journey and the human touch, I think I'll stay with going to her, she is very skilled, sometimes I almost fall asleep in her chair during treatment. I am seeing very good results, and her kill rate (effectiveness) is quite acceptable.

      I'm AMAB been experimenting with a more feminine presentation for some time as an adult. At first, I'm not sure I was really conscious of it being a desire to look more feminine. I'd buy male skinny jeans and fitted tees, but that didn't feel quite right so I'd cuff the jeans into capris. Then I added an ankle bracelet, which I liked, but it kind of felt like the limit for an ostensibly cis-male in public and even drew surprise from my wife. So, I moved on to trying more things in private and, somewhat to my own surprise, feel really comfortable and sexy adding some platform heels to my capris and donning a more feminine top and wig; I'm older and don't have much hair of my own anymore ;) Make-up is still difficult but I'm practicing when I can. On the first attempt I just looked like some dude from Motley Crue, which could be fine but not what I'm going for day to day :P   Not sure exactly how I got here or where it's going. I've had to search my past a bit to speculate why this would be emerging now, in my 40s. I've always been a more effeminate individual; it just bleeds through somehow. I grew up being called '-awesome person-' or 'fairy' constantly, although there was never any question in my mind that I liked girls. In junior high I briefly experimented with applying make-up until a friend convinced me I'd get my butt kicked if anyone from school discovered it (mid 80s). Remembering these things lead me to think I perhaps just buried this aspect of myself for ages in fear. I learned to be masculine and the teasing eventually stopped.   I'm still relatively new on my journey, so I'm here to learn and figure myself out more. After lots of reading I suppose I currently identify as transfemme. Haven't come out to anyone yet. I feel like I need more experience and searching to be sure. But I'm definitely having fun along the way! Cheers everyone!

      Yeah…  As an exvangelical in my case. Guess I'll listen to that part of me this time.

      Day was fine at work.  The District Manager was there.  She actually likes me so everything was fine.  Since I was the lowest level person there she had to ask me the questions they ask every time they come.  Then apologized for having to ask me. (Yes I answered them correctly). After she left I learned that there was a meeting scheduled with her for May 23rd for the entire management team (4 of us). I’m not certain what that’s about.  No sense speculating it’s probably just getting ready for the summer crush.   good night 3 am comes early tomorrow.   Willow

      Hey I'm Ashterlin or Ash for short and I'm from the US  I play French horn I also love reading and my favorite book right now is The Tailor's Daughter by Janice Graham my pronouns are He/Him or any Neo I prefer masc terms when being referred to  and this is my pronouns page

      Thank you. It seemed to me when I was driving home that I had a bit more bounce in the rear end over bumps so I'm wondering if the frame was bent. I will have them check it tomorrow morning when the do the appraisal.

      There is just a feeling that this is normal when I wear f clothes.  As a biological male I am supposed to, I suppose, experience dysphoria in f clothes. Instead it is reversed.  Sometimes there is euphoria about being a girl, but it is because my self-perception is lining up with my self-expression. Clothing is actually secondary.  Or third.  Secondary is what my body looks like.  I am a girl regardless of what I look like. I just am one.  As I get used to this I will probably stop talking about it.  Most women do not go around announcing they are women all the time.  They talk about themselves but the presupposition is that they are women.  Never a matter of debate.

      Do you feel euphoria when wearing feminine clothes? I'm curious about why you think you are supposed to feel dysphoria in fem clothes. I totally get why you would feel dysphoria with masc clothes. For me what urged my transition forwards was the amount of gender euphoria I got from dressing like a guy , and my dysphoria from wearing anything remotely fem got worse and worse until i get rid of evey fem article in my wardrobe and all my makeup, so I could concentrate on just being me and chasing the euphoria. Dysphoria didn't go away though, because I've been misgendered constantly and it hurts more when dressed in my man clothes . However now I'm on T, my doubts and dysphoria have massively lifted and I'm excited to see the masc changes to my body happening. I do have to learn patience though lol.

      Well that's no way to start off a birthday. Be sure to look at your frame just behind your rear axle to make sure it wasn't bent. When I was rear ended... At first look it appeared that my bumper was folded down, however the frame was bent which also bent the floor of the bed. I'm glad everyone is okay    Happy Birthday,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well, I am a veteran.  I did manage to get an honorable discharge - just barely.  I was drafted to start with, and I wasn't wild about it.  But I figured it was my duty as a citizen, so there's that.  TBH I find it hard to stomach people who dodged the draft, going on and on about being such "patriots" and all, and literally hugging the flag. My egg hadn't cracked yet when I was serving, so I don't think being trans directly affected my time in uniform.  But there was most likely some subconscious stuff. Sorry, I don't think this is much use to you.

      That was just one reference that came up.  I originally saw it somewhere else.  Technically, he did call for the eradication of "transgenderism".  But it would be hard to get rid of that (whatever it is) with us still here.     Yeah, later, when he got called out on it.   I don't really see how you can say this.  Sure he doesn't know what he's talking about, but the damage is real.   I will bend over backwards to give someone the benefit of the doubt.  But at some point…. I'm just not as limber any more.   They can say what they want, but actions speak louder than words, and when I see what is happening in red states it is obvious.  They do want to get rid of us.  I'm tired of pretending they don't.

      For a time I would get an anxiety attack when I had to dress in male mode.  Haven't tried it in a while.
