I'm doing laser right now to prepare my arm for phalloplasty. I'm gonna do electrolysis for touch ups sometime this summer because I want to do UL

Oh, please don’t do laser for that!! The vellus hairs can cause a lot of infection and complications in the urethra and would require surgical revision… 😓

Oh I'm not just doing laser btw, I'm doing a combination of laser and electrolysis. Don't worry I know this

Okay, great! I’ve seen intervaginal electrolysis done because they went with laser for it all and the hairs grew back and it’s *not* fun, but is manageable whereas the urethra is not. Mostly sharing as an informational for anyone else reading.

My arm hair was dark and dense so I wanted to do laser to thin it out and remove the bulk of it. This summer, as I prepare and get closer to surgery, I will be getting electrolysis to permanently remove the hairs in the area I will use to get UL. If I had just done electrolysis it would take longer and be more expensive than doing a combo

I’m glad you’re concentrating on the UL area for it and are aware of it! 🙂‍↕️

It takes longer but many times saves long term costs because it’s truly permanent. Laser can only be advertised as permanent *reduction* because it can’t target every hair on every person and the hairs can grow back even years after depending on conditions of use/body/hair, needing more touch ups.
