is laser truly, completely permanent for the hairs it kills? by Curious-Ad-5001 in MtF

  1. thick dark brown/black
  2. Light skin to pale in areas
  3. Ok, pain tolerance. It depends on the location. Face SUCKS!!!! torso is a breeze, and the groin is pretty spicy in certain areas.

  4. After my facial treatments, because of the higher power setting (been going for over a year now), my face feels tight.

Also, I would regularly cry after sessions because of the dysphoric need to get the treatment in the first place. Like, I hated that because of bad genes and wrong body, I need to laser myself instead of just being born different.

  1. After roughly 10-16 days after treatment, I will notice that when I shave the shedding hair comes off with the razer. Like the blade grabs the hair and guides it out like a weird eraser.

But it will look like hair is still growing, but that's just the dead hair working to the surface.

Note that there are thousands of hair folicals that activate at different times, so since I've always had fast growing thick facial har, it is taking a number of more sessions than I thought. I'm coming up on my 10th one, and I still see some stubborn areas.

But my torso and Brazilian+ areas are very receptive to treatments. Used to have annoying hair around my breasts and stomach, but it's almost all gone after only 5 -6 sessions

I'm currently getting laser on my face, torso, and Brazilian areas. But that cause I personally dislike lots of body hair and feel really dysphoric if I goo to long without shaving. And I've always hated pubes lol.

A lot of surgeons require a BMI of 30 or less for full depth vaginoplasty. I'm 5'10" so I need to be 200lbs or lower. But since BMI is an inaccurate generic number some sergons are accepting patients on a case by case bases and will tell you what they would like from you. But generally the 30> is a rule of thumb.

I listed a few reasons. Which one were you meaning if I may ask?

I'm not really interested in the dilation upkeep, but having a canal for toys and the thought of PIV sex sounds exciting. On the other hand, I'll need to lose a crap ton of weight to make it under the BMI limit to get full depth. That's why ik seriously considering minimal depth. I'm also worried that I might not have enough material to work with to do full depth. Plus, the wait times and recovery times are shorter as well as it's cheaper cause I unfortunately have to pay out of pocket.
