Transgender
Hair Removal
Understandably, you feel vulnerable facing the daunting task of hair removal. It’s an investment, uncomfortable, and time-consuming. You want the best service with the least risk, so it is always best to go with professionals that have experience and specialist skills.
For many of our transgender clients, removing facial and unwanted body hair is an essential part of their journey. However, it’s unlikely that hormones alone will eliminate all existing facial hair. Electrolysis is the only permanent method of speeding up this process.
Lucie, one of our electrologists, has worked extensively with transgender clients, removing facial and body hair on the surgical site for gender reassignment surgery. We pride ourselves on being discrete, sensitive, and, ultimately, trusted by our clients. Our primary goal is to support you in your journey.

Treatment
Before
Do
Shave – if you are getting a dense area treated like the bikini or beard, shave the treatment area 2- 3 days before your first treatment.
Hydrate – drink water during the full course of your treatment sessions and keep the treatment area well moisturised between sessions for best hair removal results.
Consult – be honest with your electrologist and disclose all health conditions during the consultation and if you experience any reactions or changes to your health during the treatment.
Don't
Use Retinoids – steer clear of retinoids or any exfoliation products for a week before the treatment.
Clog your pores – remove all makeup, creams, or deodorants that could clog pores before treatment.
During
What to expect
Book your consultation, and we’ll make sure you’re suitable for treatment.
We’ll gather some medical history and talk through the details, like aftercare and risks, before agreeing on a treatment plan. Once we’ve done a test patch to check your sensitivity levels, we’ll book your first session.
The session will be in our clean and sanitised treatment room. At the start of each session, you’ll receive a new, single-use, sterile probe that works specifically for your personalised treatment plan on our state of the art Apilus machine.
Depending on your treatment area, we will position you comfortably on the bed. Your electrologist will cleanse the area before inserting the small probe into the hair follicle, which is a natural opening in the skin. A short pulse of electric energy is released, which destroys the hair’s stem cells. The hair is then easily removed with tweezers.
You might feel a tingling when this happens. We find that relaxation methods are enough to reduce discomfort, but numbing cream can help too.
Your electrologist may ask you to pull or stretch your skin, or they may ask you to move throughout the treatment, depending on the location of the treatment area and the elasticity of your skin.
This process continues until a couple of minutes before the end of your session when the electrologist will apply aftercare creams to soothe the skin.
After
Do
Soothe the skin – aloe vera is recommended and can be applied as necessary.
Reduce inflammation – by using cold compresses.
Shave – if you need to remove hair after the initial 72 hours, avoid all other forms of hair removal except shaving or trimming.
Don't
Use perfumed or alcohol-based products – this can burn and irritate the open pores.
Rub or scratch – as tempting as it may be, this will increase the risk of infection. Don’t worry – it’s normal for some scabs and itchiness.
Sunbathe or swim – for 72 hours after treatment to avoid pigmentation or irritation from chlorine.
Sweat – at least excessively. Enjoy your time off from the gym!

faqs
What is electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that uses a fine probe and a small electrical current to destroy the hair follicle, preventing regrowth. It’s the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal.
Is electrolysis suitable for all hair and skin types?
Yes, electrolysis works on all hair colours and skin tones, including blonde, grey, white, and red hairs that laser cannot effectively treat.
How many sessions will I need?
Multiple sessions are needed to treat all hairs in different growth phases. The exact number varies depending on the area, hair density, and individual hair growth cycle. It’s impossible to say exactly how many sessions you will need, as everyone is different! Your specialist will put together your personalised treatment plan during your consultation, to achieve the best results.
Is electrolysis painful?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild sting or heat. Comfort levels vary depending on the area being treated, but settings can be adjusted, and numbing creams may be used for sensitive areas, such as upper lip. We recommend purchasing Emla cream!
What are the side effects?
Mild redness, swelling, or tiny scabs may occur but usually subside within 24–48 hours. Using aloe vera to soothe the area helps to minimise any redness. We also advise against any intense exercise, saunas / steam rooms, swimming or wearing make up for 24-48h after your treatment.
Can I have electrolysis while pregnant?
While electrolysis is generally safe, we avoid treating anything below the face such as the abdominal or breast area during pregnancy.
Can I have laser hair removal and electrolysis at the same time?
No, you. can only shave in between your electrolysis hair removal sessions. This means no plucking, no waxing, no threading, no hair removal creams, etc. Nothing that will disrupt the hair at the root. Any time you do this between your electrolysis sessions, you set yourself back 3 months! So make sure to stick to your treatment plan, to ensure you achieve your desired results.

Reviews
Amazing and friendly service. As a transgender woman I can recommend Laser Lounge to any other trans clients looking for hair removal. I've been going for a year now and have always had friendly and understanding service from Jen and Lucie. I feel comfortable when getting my treatment and they are very accomodating to my individual needs.
I recommend the laser lounge to everyone who asks me about hair removal! Lucie and Jen are both lovely, I’ve been coming here for a long time now and had the full body laser course and now return for my regular top up sessions. It’s always nice to see Jen and catch up, she really makes feel at ease during appointments. I did a lot of research before choosing somewhere in Manchester for hair removal and I’m glad I picked the laser lounge.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Jen even more. She made me feel at ease straight away and made the whole experience enjoyable. To say having laser hair removal is life changing is an understatement. It’s painless and Jen makes sure you’re comfortable every step of the way!
