I haven't shared this yet, but I've been making pretty regular electrolysis appointments for a few months now. 3 or 4 per month, and I shoot for 2 hour sessions when they are available.
Laser isn't a good option for me as my facial hair is mostly white, and laser works best on darker hair. In fact, most of my dark hair is already gone now! Without the dark hair, I no longer have to take steps to conceal that awful beard shadow when I do my makeup. I had been using the technique of putting red/orange lipstick on my upper lip and chin area which contrasts with the blueish tint of the beard shadow. No More!!!!!!! This is such a great milestone for me, and now applying makeup is much easier and faster.
The overall improvement to how my face looks is noticeable. It's sooooo much smoother!
For those of you have gone through this, it's more painful in the areas around the lips. But all of the pain and discomfort are absolutely worth it. I did just pick up some numbing cream and will see how that helps. Regardless, I can't wait to finish off this part of transition :-D I look forward to these appointments with tons of excitement. My level of happiness and hope for a future as a woman has never been greater!
Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying yourselves!
And now a few recent pictures...
