HRT doesn’t automatically mean you can’t have laser hair removal — but hormonal changes can influence your hair growth and the results you may see.
For trans women and transfeminine clients, oestrogen and testosterone-suppressing medication may gradually reduce the thickness and speed of some body-hair growth. Established facial hair often remains, however, and may still respond well to laser treatment when the hair contains enough pigment.
For trans men and transmasculine clients, testosterone can stimulate new or coarser facial and body hair. Laser can be used to reduce unwanted hair in specific areas, but further growth may develop while hormone levels and hair patterns are still changing.
During perimenopause and menopause, changes in oestrogen and androgen balance can sometimes trigger new or coarser facial hair. Laser can treat the dark, coarse hairs currently present, but it cannot prevent hormonal changes from stimulating new hair growth in the future. This is why additional sessions or ongoing maintenance may sometimes be needed.
Your treatment plan will depend on:
• the colour and thickness of your hair
• your skin tone
• the treatment area
• how long you’ve been taking HRT
• whether your hormones or medication are still changing
