My facial hair is almost gone. I started between Christmas and new years of 2020. Granted I didn't have a lumberjack beard, but there was way more hair then a lady should have. 

 

I started with laser, and really was laser till may or June. I stopped because I really saw no difference sessions 4-6 yes I saw a bit less hair, but since I had rust colored beard. With a lot of blond in it. I pretty munch was about 75% clear of dark hairs at that moment.

 

I'm July I switched to electrolysis. I started with one hour a month till September. Then went to 2 hours a month, and I was shocked how quickly my hair is going away. I would guess I have less then 20% of my facial hair left. Its mostly what's left of my mustache, and the hairs on my left side around my jawline, and on the front of my neck. My right side is 95% hairless now. 

 

Judging by how quickly my hair is going away, and with so little left. I can't imagine it will be more then 4 months before im hairless..

Congratulations! I am just getting started. I have been trying the IPL on my legs and trunk. The hair on the legs is not that much and what there is, comes off easily with shaving, but ugh, the trunk, not that much there, but enough to be a pain to keep up with. I am starting electrolysis soon, providing our new Covid friend (omicron) does not cause some melt-downs. I am envious of you progress. I am likely to go to precision hair removal in the Chicago area. I hope the remaining 20% goes quickly for you!

Sincerely

Katie

Thanks, it's kinda weird in a way to see it go. Since I was 18. I've always had some sort of facial hair. Even after shaving it off. I would let it grow out right away, but its also nice to see it go now. Especially that I've been full time since March. Now I can usually let it go for a few days. Before I see it in my makeup. Compared to last year. I could shave, and see stubble right away.

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.

      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️
