Laser hair removal for transgender women is a very popular procedure at Blue Water Spa. Eliminating unwanted hair from areas that are typically considered masculine or manly can make a trans woman feel much more comfortable in their own skin.
Laser Hair Removal Privacy
Facial laser hair removal for transgender women is among the most popular areas for treatment, including where there might otherwise be a beard or mustache. Unlike shaving, laser hair removal removes the root of the hair. This alone can be incredibly transformative for trans women. If a trans woman shaves her face, the root of the hair can still sometimes be visible under the skin. The elimination of the root of the hair can almost immediately provide a more feminine look to the face. Because laser treatments remove hair, there will be no need to shave, and therefore, no stubble from shaving.
Some trans women have hair between their eyebrows that can quickly and easily be removed with a laser. Hair around the hairline and areas of the face or neck can be treated effectively with laser hair removal.
LASER HAIR REMOVAL OF THE BODY FOR TRANS WOMEN
Some of the most common areas for laser hair removal for trans women include the hands, forearms, feet, chest, neck and shoulders. Many of our transgender patients start with the areas that they cannot easily shave themselves, such as back, shoulders, or buttocks, as well as facial areas.
Waxing can be a temporary alternative for hair removal, but waxing requires growing the hair out. Who wants to do that?
Laser hair removal of the legs can make the legs feel silky smooth and can eliminate the root of the hair that can sometimes be visible under the skin.

Laser Hair Removal for Thick or Coarse Hair
The thicker the root of the hair, the bigger the target for the laser, and the more easily the hair will be removed. For trans women who have suffered with thick coarse hair, laser hair removal will be especially effective. Fine, light blonde or red hair does not respond favorably to laser hair removal.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Each laser has a target or a chromophore. The chromophore for laser hair removal is pigmentation. If the root of the hair has no pigment, the laser will not respond. For people who may be going grey with white or grey hair in the facial area, electrolysis may be an option.
Laser Hair Removal vs. Electrolysis
Electrolysis removes the hair a single hair at a time. It is a very time consuming procedure, but it may be the only answer for permanent hair removal for those with white or grey hair.
How many Sessions of laser hair removal will trans women need?
Lasers for hair removal – all of them – work when the hair is in a growth cycle. At any given time, as much as 20% of the hair is in a growth cycle. So, in theory, laser hair removal could provide complete clearance within 5 sessions. The hair in any given area is not always on the same cycle. So, complete clearance of unwanted hair will sometimes take 8 or more sessions. On occasion, hormones may result in additional hair growth. If that is the case, it is possible that a person taking hormones may require more laser hair removal sessions than others.
Does Laser Hair Removal Work for Dark Skin?
Laser Hair Removal for Trans Women of Color | Trans Friendly Laser Hair Removal Near Me
Trans women with black or brown skin can safely be treated with laser hair removal sessions in Raleigh at Blue Water Spa. We have 4 lasers specifically for dark or tanned skin, and three lasers for light to medium skin. Because lasers are targeting pigmentation or melanin, lasers for dark skinned individuals must have a very long pulse. These long pulsed lasers will bypass the surface of the skin and target the root of the hair. Laser hair removal with the correct laser can be safe and effective for all skin types. At Blue Water Spa, we have successfully treated African American, Asian, and South Asian skin types.
EVERY laser room at Blue Water Spa is equipped with 2 different lasers. One with a frequency ideal for light to medium skin tones, another ideal for darker or tanned skin tones. Some people may even benefit from both frequencies as some areas, like genitals and underarms may be darker than the rest of the body. Every patient can receive the ideal treatment for every body part in the same room.
