    I’m also curious about people’s experiences when it works - I already had 1 treatment on my underarms and it thinned it out a lot. My sister had 5 or 6 sessions for her underarms and it’s been all gone for years. Considering my decently light olive complexion and dark hair seems to be a good candidate, I’m wondering if I should do other areas but I still fear getting it done on my face and being stuck with a patchy mess if I stop being able to afford it. I rely on looking half decent unshaven to be able to not shave for a week every week and not care so if I had to start shaving every couple days that would suck.

      my arms and legs basically went away with hrt; i really don’t even need to shave my legs. the face was a pain but once i got through it, it’s lasted the whole time without growing back

        how long on HRT before you noticed your hair thinned or lightened in color?

        I’m so jealous, my legs still have thick, dark hairs even after nearly 2 years on HRT.

          i went on hrt about december of 2017 and i’m thinking maybe at least 6 months to start? i can’t remember the exact timeline but i feel like 6 months was when i startd noticing things. i also transitioned later in life so ymmv or not; wibbly wobbly sciencey wimey things.

          i think really the only thing that gives me dysphoria on my legs is a bit of hair on my knees every month or so… and my feet but after 7 years the rest is pretty nonexistant so i’m hoping for the same for you
