First Laser Electrolysis Session

I had my first session for my laser hair removel on my face/neck yesterday, it went really well I thought, but it was pretty painful especially in the neck area and around the jaw line, also right under the nose was really painful at times as well, the more and more I do it the more and more it will become easier and less painful. The support staff there were VERY nice and supportive(they deal with a lot of TG girls who come in), One Woman who I was talking with for awhile(very nice lady) asked about some of my past and about if I were on Hormones yet, I told her not yet I am not but very soon I hope to be, she said that once I am on HRT and once I start to transition more down the road that I could EASILY pass for a Woman and really does not think I need any major FFS surgery, it is always incredible to me when I hear compliments like that(I heard the same from my therapist as well) and really gives me so much encouragement. I just wanted to let you all know about how my first session went and how incredibly happy I am now.

Emily, Sweetheart........

How very wonderful!

It sounds as if it is going smoothly (joke...lol)...

How many treatments will you need?

I'm doing the standard electrolysis because Laser won't work for me...my electrologist is licensed for both and told me that I'd be a poor candidate for laser....poo!

Do the hairs start falling out after a couple of days?

Tell us about it.....OK?

Thanks, Hon...

I am so happy for you, that is such good news, not about the pain but about the confirmation that you have no need for FFS - Yeah!

Love ya,

She said about 3-7 treatments but hard to tell after the first treatment and I will have to see after the next. I was really lucky that it worked out for me with Laser since regular electrolsis is more demanding and from what I hear more painful, and yes the hairs should start falling out within just a couple of days~YAY!!!~

I will keep you up to date with everything though, my next session is I believe June 20'th, it is expensive for the treatments($300) but if it has the results that I am hoping for then it will be WELL worth each and every cent.

I admire you...you're doing fine!

I thought laser hurt a lot also

Yes the first session was quite painful, actually I had to stop a few times because it was just too painful but I have noticed already with my first session some noticeable changes to my face and neck areas with hair growth and how *fine* the hairs seem to be. My next appointment is June 20'th which I am very excited about.

My first two laser sessions were not too bad but the 3rd and 4th each time she increased the settings and gee what a difference in the pain level and afterward the redness, but i was pretty much back to normal the next day, Monday will be my 6th session, I'm not real pleased with the results all the dark hairs are gone but i do have some gray hairs, going to start electro on those.

Emily,

I had my first treament yesterday. You are right it does hurt some. They let me use an ice pack periodicly that help out tons. They said it would hurt like a rubber band. I think they should have said like a hot curling iron touching your face. Hopefully things will work out will have to wait and see.

Thanks for sharirng your experience with us.

Hugs,

Dionne

      Good evening   We went to Charleston today, my wife had a doctors appointment.  Got back home about 2pm and I took a 1 hour nap.  I have an odd work schedule over the next 10 days. I’m thinking they must be changing our store hours.  I work at a different store tomorrow, then beginning Saturday I start working at my home store.  Our store will be closed on Sunday while they remodel the it, change the layout and install some new equipment replacing some of the coolers and the coffee makers. Then I work starting a 5 am which is different and why I think they are charging our hours.   Yes, I watched a small bit of the debate.  Yes, I thought is was a lot of the same we hear during every election debate.  Yes, I thought Harris rattled Trump early on and never really got back on message.   My feelings about “the promised land” belonging to the Hebrews goes something like this.  God made a promise to Abraham first, follow me and I will make you the father of all man kind.  With one indiscretion Abraham did this, but they ended up in Egypt and came back and pushed the people living there out.  Then once again the hebrews left the promised land to Egypt.  God tells Moses to lead them back out of Egypt and he will again will return the promised land to them. All they have to do is obey him.  But they don’t. Moses begs and the agreement is that no one who was in Egypt can go into the promised land including Moses.  The tribes eventually get the promised land split up and things are pretty good until they stop obeying and loose the land again Ever since they have been forced out and fought to get it back but it’s no longer God’s promised land to the Hebrews as they broke that covenant time and time again.   you can disagree all you want I have no intention of debating history.

      I’ve recently started my hormone therapy and am in a state of euphoria most days after accepting who I really am and that I want to embrace the most authentic version of my true self.  Like most I have  went through so much confusion and never fitted or felt I fitted into the typical male role . After so many years I now understand who I am and what I need to do for myself to make me feel complete.  I hope I can call on you from time to time for your vast experience and knows to help me navigate my transition?  Thank you Sienna Xx

      Found a very cute black pleated mini skirt yesterday while shopping. It had been placed on a different rack and I never found the "home base". But it happened to be my size and a great price and was right there, so I bought and have been happily wearing it most of today with a soft yellow T-shirt... maybe a bit short for my age but incredibly comfortable... 
    • EasyE
      Hmm. Interesting thought ... It does seem like it starts get red underneath the patch after I shower ... Where would one get the surgical tape? Regular Pharmacy?

      Same here. Although recently, I've been paying more attention to what women wear casually but still have an overtly feminine look. I saw a woman at a locally that had the same pair of ladies' Adidas sneakers I recently bought and looked at how she worked them into her outfit; just yoga leggings with an oversized shirt but she looked really good. Tricky part is getting the perfect shirt length for that type of outfit

      Hi, Jayne! I love that sweater!! I'm so happy you took the opportunity to drop by.

      My first time out was at a Wal-Mart. I was wearing a black/green black-watch skirt, black turtleneck sweater, green tights and black ankle boots. As I walked through the door it hit me that I'd probably made a tactical error. Instead of blending in, my choice of outfit was so different from the typical Wal-Mart shopper that I drew instant attention.    In the end, I got a nice compliment from a young lady who asked where I'd bought my skirt and smiles from several men.    The vast majority of my wardrobe comes from Talbot's and J. Jill and tends to be less casual than most women wear these days. But, it makes me feel good about myself and gives me confidence in myself....and that can't be a bad thing.

      A fairly regular stop when I am going to the big city for a day of feminine self-expression is a “Total Wine” store. The town where I live is quite small, so it lacks a lot of the shopping options of Reno (my big city), and a well-stocked liquor store is one of them. Many of the store clerks have come to know Sally, but one clerk in particular, a sixty-something woman, always makes a big deal about my wardrobe.  She has probably waited on me a half a dozen times, and each time, she asks me “what’s the special occasion? You are dressed so nicely.”  I have always said thanks but never elaborated.    Last weekend, however, while grabbing a bottle of wine, the same woman waited on me, and she asked me again about the special occasion.  This time, I made a point to tell her I wasn’t dressed for anything special, instead, that the way I dress tends to be my preferred style.  I told her it was my nature to be quite particular about my appearance.  And then I leaned a little closer and whispered: “besides, I think I have nice legs and like showing them off,” alluding to the fact that my preferred wardrobe usually includes a skirt, stockings, and heels.   She smiled brightly at my legs comment and then she added: “too bad more people don’t pay closer attention to what they wear.”  Then she went on to tell me how badly some people dress when they come into the store.   I realize, that my wardrobe is generally upscale, and I imagine it gets people’s attention the same way it got the store clerk’s. Most people these days dress with comfort in mind which tends to make me stand out a bit.  That’s okay.  Wearing female business attire as my go to style, makes me happy and helps me feel feminine, even if it does sometimes, force me to explain that I’m not dressing for a special occasion.
