Hello, any time there is any kind of change in hormones the chance of hair regrowth is likely. Especially if taking testosterone I would expect that you will get regrowth. You can always start doing laser treatments again.
You have numerous hair follicles throughout you skin and not all these are in active growth cycles (Anagen phase)-some are dormant. Laser hair removal, when performed properly, will destroy hair follicles when they are in the Anagen phase and this is theoretically permanent for that follicle. Numerous surrounding follicles may be in other phases and they will eventually begin to grow making it appear that the hair removal treatment was unsuccessful. It is recommended that follow up treatments be preformed to address any hair regrowth. I have had a few clients that had no growth for up to a year before the treated area saw regrowth.Testosterone hormone therapy at the doses for gender dysphoria treatment will cause male pattern hair growth patterns in genetic females, but these hair follicles are just as susceptible to laser removal as any other.I hope that helps answer your question
Hello and thank you for your question. No you do not have to worry about sperm damage when getting laser hair removal. Best wishes. Dr. T
Typically we would do the laser hair removal to the entire area surrounding the cyst but avoiding lasering directly over the cyst. We would especially want to avoid treating over the area if the cyst is inflamed.
Hello and thank you for your question. I’m not quite sure why your at home laser isn’t working on your underarms. Laser does only work on dark, coarse hair so if your underarm hair is light and fine any type of laser will not work. I hope this helps. Best wishes. Dr. T
