Advantages of Laser Hair Removal During Your Transition

For MTF (male-to-female) individuals, finding a reliable method to remove unwanted hair can be challenging. Traditional methods like waxing and shaving can cause skin irritation, razor burn, and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution, reducing hair growth by approximately 85%. Our advanced laser technology targets hair follicles to prevent regrowth, providing smoother skin.

Tailored Laser Hair Removal for your Transition Journey

Many transitioning individuals worry about the pain or effectiveness of laser hair removal. At A Soothing Touch Laser Hair Removal, we utilize cutting-edge lasers to deliver effective and comfortable treatments.


Our Process:

  1. Customized Approach: We choose the right laser based on your skin type, hair color, and the specific area to be treated.
  2. Precision Targeting: The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, converting to heat and damaging the hair follicle.
  3. Effective Results: This process prevents future hair growth, achieving significant hair reduction.

Why Laser Hair Removal is Ideal for Your Transition

Laser hair removal is superior to traditional methods like shaving, especially for large areas such as the face, legs, underarms, chest, and back. It provides efficient coverage and long-lasting results.


  • Skin-Friendly: Laser treatments focus on hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin, unlike waxing or shaving.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Treatments feel like a gentle snap of a rubber band, with cooling methods to enhance comfort.
  • Quick Recovery: Post-treatment sensitivity is minimal and can be easily managed with soothing lotions.


Achieving an 85 to 90 percent reduction in hair growth can greatly enhance your comfort and confidence during your transition.

Combining Hormone Replacement Therapy with Laser Hair Removal

As you undergo hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during your transition, your hair growth patterns will gradually change. Combining HRT with laser hair removal can accelerate this process. Laser treatments are completely safe to undergo while on HRT, allowing you to target unwanted hair effectively.


Many clients choose to start with laser hair removal on visible areas like the face, providing quicker results while waiting for HRT to take full effect.
