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.

      EXCITEMENT The feeling when you expect something good or nice will happen to you. You cannot wait for it to happen. You feel excitement when something very nice is about to happen. For example, when you are about to see a good friend who just returned from a year abroad, when you just received the keys for your new car, or when you are waiting in line for a thrilling rollercoaster ride. In each case, you are experiencing eagerness and impatience in expectation of the upcoming pleasant experience. Excitement is more likely when the anticipated experience is both novel or unique and desirable. It is especially intense if you have been waiting for a long time to obtain the goal, or when excitement is shared with other people and the event makes you feel like you are part of something bigger.

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/several-attorneys-general-made-abusive-legal-demands-get-trans-patient-rcna147910     This is a complex issue and I'm no expert, but the actions of these GOP Attorney's General don't pass the smell test.  Their motivations and actions are highly suspect and they lack any credibility.  What else is new, right?  I guess it will all come out in the inevitable court fight.   Carolyn Marie

      I went to work with my husband today.  He asked me this morning if I wanted to go...of course I said yes.  I enjoy being with him, and getting away from the house for a little while.  He spent half the day in his office, which I think is why he asked me along.  He made a nest in the corner for me, where I can plug in my laptop and do my stuff...nobody minds me being there.     But today ended up with a strange opportunity.  I had a conversation with my husband's boss, the company owner.  They want some basic graphic design work done, so I think they might hire me to do it.  Nothing fancy, not nearly as complicated as what I've attempted to do for our county.  So I have a meeting with them on Monday, just to look at some details and see if I can do the work they want.  And especially talk about when they need it done, because I still work pretty slowly.  I don't really need or want the money, but its nice to feel like I can do something again.

      I went to WM today with the objective of buying sandals: they would be women's, but look like men's; they would be brown or black, not white.  I realized the cheapest way to go  was to go for flip-flops, which I observed were prevalent in the store. So I checked out the women's.  Flowers. White shiny straps. Nothing that could possibly be men's. The best deal was one flip flop for $3.98.  At first I thought that was a pair, then, nope.  And because I comparison shop (is there the same thing in men's?) I found the cheapest over there was $6.98 for a pair of flip flops in green that also match my women's cargo shorts that I love.  Doing the math, finding the pink tax.  Rip off.  I have found a blue tax this way, but usually they charge women more for something than they do men. I guess women tend to lose one flip flop at a time or something. Weird.  The pairs were a lot higher.   So, following my rule, but unhappy with it, I bought the green men's flip flops.  They were the cheapest.  Later wife of mine complimented how masculine I look in my matching shorts and flip-flops.  Inward groan. We have not discussed the Subject in a long time because I think she forgets it is there as soon as the conversation ends.  Or she is trying to talk me out of this.  Not sure.  We only discuss it when necessary, and how often do most couples discuss whether one spouse is one sex or the other? Outside of here, I mean.  So we very seldom talk about it and she is happier if she does not know about it. Super stealth.  I do the laundry and I shower in the shower in the wing away  from the master bed room so I have my own shower.
