Shaved my legs and groin and chest. Damn do my legs look good. I then used a body oil to soothe the skin. Also this made my dysphoria hurt a bit less. Is tgere anything else that would make me feel better about myself?

I’m having trouble keeping my body hair on me right now.
Gotta resist the urge to shave because I need to have a small amount of length for laser hair removal. Going for the whole body soon. It’s going to be painful 🥲
I love feeling smooth too!
I’m pretty sure shaving before laser is preferred, whereas you need a bit of growth for electrolysis. I’m not an expert, but I’ve done a bunch of both.
I’ve been told by the clinic that I need like 1 or 2 mm.
I don’t know maybe something about heat transfer from the hair to the bulb?
Check with your laser tech! Mine have preferred me to be fully shaved, but some very short stubble is acceptable. The laser works on the follicles, not the hair that’s above your skin, so you generally don’t need any length.
Best of luck! Remember to focus on your breathing, that has always helped me with the worst parts.
I’ve got my own appointment this Saturday, so I know the feeling. Not being allowed to shave for 48 hours afterwards is the worst, especially for my face :(
I really really really want laser, no matter what. Im gonna beg my doctor to make an appt. I hope it isnt too painful for you! I know “go to your happy place” gets thrown around alot but that and focusing on breathing really helps!
Atleast, thats what helped with my tattoo sessions, dunno how that compares to laser 😂
