So it’s almost exactly two weeks since my first session. I went to one of the high-power places that needs a medical license (at least in this country), but my somewhat light-colored hair and total lack of pain during the procedure made me really worried. The first week or so showed no progress, the hair seemed to be growing as normal. Then it got a bit thinner, or maybe I was imagining it?
But no, just today, it’s been a whole day and almost no stubble or shadow! About 80% has just vanished (most of what remains is on my upper lip and beneath the jaw). I realize that the dormant follicles and so on are going to wake up soon, but I’ve still got several sessions to go.
So if you’ve just started and had the same worries as me, really: wait two weeks!
I am unreasonably excited about this. Sorry, past self who waited so long for his beard to come in: you don’t need to worry about trying to look masc any more!
That’s fantastic news. How light is your hair? My facial hair runs quite fair and ginger and I opted for electrolysis instead of laser since all the advice seemed to be that it wouldn’t work on me.
Looking at a chart I guess maybe ash blonde? It started almost white when I was very young (and bits of it are heading that way again). Facial hair is a bit more of a dark reddish-brown.
If I end up prepping for SRS, I think that’s going to have to be electrolysis (TMI? sorry)
Interesting, well I’m glad you’ve had results!
Good luck with the rest of your journey!
