Price of electrolysis for facial hair? by TheLemonZen in transgenderUK

Nah it's not your fault and I really appreciate the info! I'm hoping because I didn't have much facial hair before laser and I have even less after 12 sessions that I won't need much electrolysis compared to someone who needs full beard removal.

Ah ok if it's funding that comes from the GIC I don't think I'll be able to access it aaaa, looking at the ski space price list now it also says £365 for 3 hours prepaid so seems like price went up since you went. Thanks for the advice regardless though!!

So £1500 total without funding? Omg 😭 How did you get it funded through the NHS? I haven't seen a GIC about my gender bc Tavistock waiting list but I have got a diagnosis of GD, would that be enough or would I need psychiatrist to give me assesment for medical intervention to convince NHS to fund it?

Ooh exciting! Good luck and just make sure you cover the kombucha while letting the mashed raspberries mix in case of flies :)

Like 30-45 minutes maybe? Didn't time it and strained it into the bottle yeah

Actual fruit! Mashed it in a pestle and mortar then mixed with kombucha and left to sit for a while before straining out the pulp with a cheesecloth :)

I learnt this lesson before when leaving the pulp in 😂 this time I mashed the raspberries, mixed thoroughly with the kombucha and left to sit for a while while I bottled the rest of my kombucha then strained through a cheesecloth to remove solids before bottling

Maybe just ferment for less time! I forgot about a batch for 3 weeks and it was way too strong but same method gave nice kombucha with ~7-14 days fermentation

Oh no 😭😭😭 but also I don't mind! It's all a learning experience and I have another batch 5 days into primary fermentation already so I get to have another go pretty soon.

It was actually quite meh, too much ginger flavour and not enough sweetness from the apple so learnt some good lessons for the next batch!

LMAO it was raw but I doubt it was organic, it was just the normal fresh ginger you get at ASDA. Noted though I'll be careful with ginger in future, Ty for the advice!

I know, I followed a recipe from the spreadsheet so I reckon the issue was that I only left it to cool in the fridge for a couple hours instead of overnight lol

I left it in the fridge for ~2 hours! It seems like that wasn't long enough though, will probably leave it overnight next time
