ELECTROLYSIS FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE

Beauty. It's a concept everyone understands, yet it's expressed differently by each individual. Your own sense of personal beauty is based on your insight into who you uniquely are, which is the whole reason for your gender transition. When you feel attractive life is more vibrant and fulfilling.  At times we seek assistance to enhance our appearance so we can be truly comfortable with ourselves and embrace life more fully. You may find, as many others have, that permanent hair removal can help you express your finest self and reveal the beautiful individual that you are.  If you are looking for a treatment to permanently remove facial hair and excess body hair as part of your journey, electrolysis is the solution for you. It's the key to attaining the smooth, sophisticated, hair-free look you desire.

 

WILL AN ELECTROLOGIST UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE TRANSGENDER?

This electrologist does.  As a psychotherapist I've worked with dozens of people who are in transition so yes, I believe that I have more experience, insight and sensitivity regarding transgender issues and challenges than do most people who are not transgender and more than most electrologists.  

​

CAN ELECTROLYSIS REMOVE HAIR IN MY GENITAL AREA?

Yes. However, I will want to know whether you are seeking genital hair removal in preparation for gender confirmation surgery and, if so, which surgeon you are working with in order to follow their pre-surgical protocols. It is important to allow sufficient time prior to surgery to complete genital hair removal in order to prevent future ingrown hairs internally. If your genital hair removal requirements are not related to an upcoming surgery, I will not need any information in this regard beyond the standard questions asked of all genital hair removal clients.

WHY DOES MARILYN WANT TO KNOW WHAT PROTOCOL OR PROGRAM I'M ON?

I understands the commitment necessary to make a gender transition and I take it seriously. Information about your plans helps me ensure that your electrolysis treatments work in concert with your long-term goals.
