Hello Stephie hair removal takes time. Each hair has to be treated 3 times by electrolysis to kill it. Laser was not available when I transitioned. Depending upon beard density it will take 100 – 400 hours to completely remove the beard. Mine took about 200 hours at 1 hour per week, so it takes a long time. Hair removal is really the 1st step that should be taken a year or so before you start HRT. If your facial hair is dark you can start with Laser then move to Electrolysis to clean up the lighter color hairs that Laser does not work on. Laser works best on dark hair colors. If you have the money there are places that use two techs, they numb you all up and they do an 8 hour shift to clear you beard in one shot. Then you wait a month or so and go back again, That will clear the major portion then you can do hourly to clean up the stragglers.
