Hi all,
Newbie here with a few questions.
I have had a hysterectomy and currently take hormone replacement - testosterone as well as estrogen. The testosterone has caused me to grow black, thick hair on my chin that of course has caused great embarresment. I shave twice a day and try to cover with thick make-up but I can still see them and am most frustrated with this situation.
Would laser therapy help me with this condition?
Also, I’ve read enough to know that most here do not recommend Tria, but would it help with reduction and thinner less noticible hair? I understand that I will not get permanent removal with this device, but if it would help me at all, I would be willing to buy it.
Thank you all!
I don’t think there is a point of dealing with Tria for such a small area. It costs over $1K and doesn’t have any proof of permanent results yet, and due to very high pulse, most professionals doubt real longterm results.
You should consider electrolysis (not sure what you mean by thick hair…do you mean coarse or dense or fine and dense? or coarse and sparse? laser only works on coarse dense hair).
What you should be concerned with is whether you’ll be continuing the testesterone as permanent hair removal methods remove hairs that’s currently present, but cannot prevent future NEW growth if your body continues to develop NEW hair. If you’re ok with getting touchups once in a while, then you can get what you have now permanently removed and then go in once in a while to remove the new growth.
Thank you for your reply.
The hair is dark and course. That’s what I meant to say earlier instead of thick 
And yes, I expect to keep using the testosterone and estrogen replacement. That was one of my concerns, since I would still be using, how much new growth I could expect.
Thanks!
Is the hair dense? How much of your face does it cover? Are there patches or almost a full beard?
If the hair is actually dense and coarse and there is a lot of it, not just a few small patches, then laser can be a good idea.
We don’t know the rate of growth of your hair and how the hormones are affecting it. I would expect to go in for touchups at least a couple times a year.
