Transgender Permanent Hair Removal

Experts in Large Volume Electrolysis for Transgender Women

We have extensive experience in Large Volume hair removal—which can be the most effective, expeditious, safest and least painful way of removing substantial amounts of hair. This is of particular significance to the MtF transgender patient.

We offer intravenous sedation* along with numbing injections in a surgical setting (at the Zukowski Center in Wilmette, IL) in conjunction with Large Volume Electrolysis. This allows for long, multi-technician sessions for more thorough, pain-less hair removal, thus shortening the total length of time required to achieve the results you want.

If you are looking for a treatment to permanently remove facial hair or genital hair as part of your gender confirmation process, electrolysis is the solution for you. It’s the key to attaining the smooth, sophisticated, hair-free look you desire. Indeed, it is the only permanent solution for hair removal approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

Our a la carte hours are designed to accommodate your individual facial hair removal sessions. Our experts will provide an estimate, during your consultation, of the time necessary to treat all of your facial hair during your first treatment. We’ll select the corresponding number of treatment days so that you know the approximate cost to expect. If we end up needing less time, you only pay for the hours worked. The number and duration of subsequent treatments can be better determined after your initial session. Treatment enhancements such as pre and post-treatment services are available for an additional fee.

Understanding the Importance of Skin Care for Transgender Individuals

For our transgender clients, we highly recommend a facial prior to your electrolysis treatment, as it will boost the hydration level of the skin. This is important because the electricity requires water to work—so well-hydrated skin makes the electrolysis treatment more successful. It also helps the skin to recover more quickly.

Physical transformation often begins with hormonal therapy. As a result, most transgender people notice significant changes in the quality of their skin. For transgender women these changes include softening, thinning, less oil production, itchiness, and sometimes the appearance of pigmentation (which may become permanent).

If you are doing laser or electrolysis hair removal treatments, you are affecting the oil glands. Lack of oil on the skin leads to the loss of its protective barrier, and the loss of water. This may cause skin sensitivity.

For Transgender men, testosterone creates an oilier canvas, which can lead to acne. If you have noticed acne flares that is an indication of an increase in oil production as a result of testosterone intake. Controlling the oil production and inhibiting the growth of P. acnes bacteria will be the main concern of skin care.

Most changes in skin quality occur over a one-to-three-year period, but it is vital to follow the proper skin-care regimen to improve your skin health during your transition.

We are fully aware of skin problems as a result of hormonal changes. So with our Transgender Facials, we provide customized skin care treatments that are right for you and your unique skin issues, including:

  • Exfoliation and extractions on clogged pores and/or ingrown hairs caused by folliculitis barbae.
  • High-frequency treatments
  • Hydrating massages
  • Calming or purifying masks

Afterward, we will discuss the following treatment and skin care regimen to give you the best final result.
