Laser Hair Removal for Your Gender Journey

Laser hair removal can be a transformative treatment for everyone, regardless of gender. It creates thorough and profound smoothness — much more than other hair removal approaches, for convenience in your day-to-day life and a greater sense of self-confidence.
That said, there are a few specific benefits that make it potentially life-changing for trans people.

Laser Hair Removal Benefits for Trans Clients

Smoothness from the root By targeting the root of the hair, laser hair removal results in truly hair-free skin without stubble.

Long-lasting The effects of laser hair removal remain noticeable for years, and regular touch-ups can help you maintain smoothness for life.

Confidence and authenticity According to researchers, there is a clear correlation between undergoing laser hair removal and better mental health outcomes.

Prep for surgery If you’re planning to undergo gender-affirming surgery, laser hair removal could be an important pre-treatment step.

Cost-saving When you take into account how much you can spend waxing or shaving, laser hair removal is often the most cost-effective option.

Shave in between Being able to shave in between appointments is a huge benefit, avoiding the hassle of growing out hair between treatments.

Laser Hair Removal Costs for Transgender Clients

As part of our mission to improve laser hair removal accessibility, SEV is committed to keeping our prices affordable. Our service menu includes reasonable rates for individual appointments and laser hair removal packages for even more savings.

For many trans people, high costs are one of the major barriers to receiving gender-affirming care, including laser hair removal treatments. Unfortunately, many providers limit accessibility with high, opaque prices and inflexible treatment packages.

But at SEV, you’ll always pay a fair price for your trans-friendly, effective laser hair removal experience. Depending on your insurance plan, you might also be able to get reimbursement for your treatments.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Some conditions and medications are contraindicated for laser hair removal. As part of your treatment journey at SEV, we’ll confirm that you’re a safe candidate before getting started.

Laser Hair Removal for Transgender Women (MtF)
For transgender women, laser hair removal isn’t just an aesthetic treatment — it’s often one of the first steps women take toward embracing their gender. Our transfeminine clients often start with facial laser hair removal. From there, they often continue with other body parts, based on individual preferences, medical needs, and hair growth patterns. 

Laser Hair Removal for Transgender Men (FtM)
Transmasculine people often experience an increase in terminal hair (i.e., darker, thicker hair) as they go through hormone replacement therapy. 

You might be thrilled to see an increase in hair growth on your face or body… But perhaps not once you realize shaving your neck is extremely irritating, or that you’re also growing hair on your back and shoulders. 

In other words, trans men can benefit from laser hair removal for largely the same reasons as other men, especially to treat areas like the back, shoulders, neck, or to refine their beard outline. If you are having gender affirmation surgery, you may also need to undergo laser hair removal to prepare the donor site.

Your First Laser Treatment: What to Know

If it’ll be your first time getting laser hair removal, here are a few key things every client needs to know. Before your appointment, review all customer care and treatment forms. We encourage you to use your chosen name and fill in your pronouns when creating your profile during the booking process. 

Make sure to shave at least 24-48 hours before your first appointment, and arrive with otherwise clean skin. Avoid wearing makeup, deodorants, or lotions on your treatment area on the day of your appointment. 

When it’s time for your appointment, your laser technician or nurse will answer your questions and review your treatment plan before lasering your skin. Our main goal is to make sure you have a comfortable, safe treatment experience that leads to the best possible results. 

Our clients are often surprised that the laser process isn’t too painful, since our machines at SEV are equipped with a cooling feature that soothes the skin. After treatment, your skin might be a little red, swollen, or tender, but these side effects usually disappear quickly. 

Your results will show gradually as long as you get consistent laser treatments every 4 to 6 weeks. You may need to undergo several treatment packages before you achieve your desired results.

Key Treatment Areas

Nothing Off Limits

Regardless of which area you’d like us to target, you deserve a trans-friendly laser hair removal experience. That said, these are the treatment areas you might be most interested in learning about. 

Neck and Face Laser Hair Removal for Trans Clients
Facial hair removal can be a struggle for transgender individuals. Shaving leaves behind stubble or causes razor burn, while waxing and electrolysis force you to go through a grow-out period (not to mention that they’re quite painful). Especially for trans women, having a smooth, hair free face can help you feel like your authentic self.

Adding neck laser hair removal to your appointment is another popular option. For women, it gives more comprehensive results, while for men this can be a way to avoid irritation from shaving.

Bikini Area Laser Hair Removal
Full bikini hair removal (i.e., Brazilian) eliminates all unwanted hair growing around the pubic area, for a smooth and bare look. Aside from enhancing your confidence or getting you beach-ready, this treatment can also be an important aspect of your transition, especially if you’re planning to undergo gender confirmation surgery.

While most of our clients opt for the full Brazilian laser hair removal treatment, feel free to ask us to leave a patch or strip of hair. We understand that every client’s specific wishes are different, so we’ll work with you to create the results you want.

Full Body Laser Hair Removal for Transgender Clients

While the face and bikini area are among our top treatment areas, the reality is that laser hair removal is a head-to-toe solution. Nothing is off-limits, from large areas like the legs or back, medium areas like the underarms and shoulders, and small treatment areas like the knuckles or between the brows. 

You can even target all of your unwanted hair growth in one go by scheduling full-body laser hair removal appointments.

Still Have Questions?

Does Laser Hair Removal Work for Transgender People?

Yes, laser hair removal works incredibly well for transgender people. It eliminates unwanted hair with lasting results. It’s often recommended by doctors and surgeons as it can improve mental health outcomes or be used in preparation for gender affirmation surgery.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

It's difficult to predict how many treatment sessions you'll need, as each person's hair growth cycle is so different. In general, you can expect body parts like the legs to respond faster than hormone-sensitive areas like the face. If you're undergoing hormone replacement therapy, you may also notice that how your body responds to treatment changes over time.

When Should I Start Laser Hair Removal Treatments?

The best time to start laser hair removal is as soon as you can safely do so. Seeing results takes consistent treatment, so the sooner you start, the sooner you'll achieve hair free skin.

What Is the Best Hair Removal for Transgender People?

Laser hair removal is the best laser hair removal for transgender individuals, as it offers lasting results without an arduous financial or time commitment.

Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Affect Laser Hair Removal?

Unfortunately, there’s limited research on the best practices for combining laser hair removal with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Trans women ask this question often since HRT can slow hair growth and make body or facial hair thinner. Some laser providers suggest starting laser treatments before HRT, as the laser can target darker hair more easily. However, this is largely anecdotal, and we find that many of our clients see excellent results while on HRT. For trans men on HRT, testosterone will probably increase your hair growth. It means you may need more treatments but chances are you will still experience noticeable hair reduction from your laser treatments.

Are Laser Hair Removal Treatments Covered By Insurance?

Some insurance plans will cover or reimburse gender-affirming laser hair removal treatments at SEV. Speak to your doctor or your insurance provider to learn about your options.
