Laser hair removal is a very important process for many undergoing HRT and/or gender-affirming care, and Everly Beauty is happy to provide this service with care and respect.
It is important to understand the impact of HRT on your overall laser hair removal treatment results. Hormones play a vital role in determining hair growth and pattern. HRT can lead to changes in hair thickness, density, and its growth rate. HRT, especially involving androgens, can cause increased hair growth. High levels of these hormones can cause excessive hair growth, especially in areas where males typically grow hair but females do not, such as the face or chest.
So while hormonal shifts due to HRT can influence hair growth, that alone does not exclude you from receiving laser hair removal treatment. Laser hair removal can be performed on those undergoing HRT, but it may take a few more sessions to achieve the desired results. This is because hormonal changes can stimulate dormant hair follicles, leading to new hair growth post-treatment.
We welcome you to consult with us at Everly Beauty as well as your endocrinologist to ensure receiving laser hair removal treatments would be appropriate for you.
