Transgender Laser Hair Removal
For transgender people who wish to maintain a feminine appearance, masculine hair patterns are a difficult challenge.
Male hair growth is driven by androgens and is particularly troublesome on the face, as it can not be easily hidden.
Laser hair removal is an excellent solution because it produces long-lasting results and is no more painful than waxing. It is also very cost-effective.

Why is laser hair removal the best option?
Some people opt for electrolysis treatment, which is effective – but it is also very painful, time consuming and carries a risk of scarring.
Waxing is not ideal because it can also be very painful and its effects are short-lived. Shaving is even less effective and can provoke various irritations, such as bristly regrowth, ingrowing hairs and cuts. Both methods are unsuitable for various parts of the body.
Laser hair removal is quick, low-risk and long-lasting; and can be used on almost any part of the body.
Preparation for transsexual surgery
Skin Medical’s practitioners are medically trained and experienced; and therefore aware of the sensitive issues surrounding transgender procedures.
Male-to-female transsexuals often remove pubic and genital hair before gender reassignment surgery, as it makes the process more straightforward.
When removing hair from such a sensitive area, it is more important than ever to select a safe, reliable clinic – and Skin Medical has the medical prowess to ensure you achieve the best possible results.

Treatments by body area
The length and cost of each procedure varies depending on the size of the area being treated, but it is rarely more than a couple of hours.
In smaller areas, such as parts of the face or neck, the actual procedure can take as little as 5 or 10 minutes.
