For almost every trans woman, beard removal is the biggest electrolysis project. Facial hair is one of the more visible secondary sexual characteristics, and it’s often a nightmare for trans women to get rid of. It’s painful, it’s expensive, it’s embarrassing, and it seems to take forever.
At 2pass Clinic we have developed an intensive program that removes all your facial hair during a marathon session.
In the video below we will go into more detail about the benefits. Please note: the period of 6 months is for the average beard shade. The total treatment time is longer.
Here you will find an infographic about the different treatment programs.
Note
Anyone planning to transition full-time as a woman is strongly advised to begin hair removal as early in their transition as possible. For some trans women, this is the most time-consuming and expensive part of the entire process. Learn more about when to start electrolysis.
No. Beard growth is driven by a genetic response of the hair follicles to the hormone 'androgen'. This response of the hair follicles is genetic and unfortunately we cannot (yet?) change the genetics of your hair. From our experience, unless puberty is early inhibited or someone has little natural beard growth, extensive facial electrolysis is usually necessary for trans women.
We do a complete (partly non-permanent) removal of the average beard and lip hair every 6-8 weeks (ideal for getting as many hairs as possible in the growth phase).
If you no longer have a full beard due to laser, electrolysis sessions or hormonal effects, it is not necessary to book 4 days as a first session. The illustrations below give you an indication of the number of days you need, depending on the density of your facial hair.
So book carefully, because you pay for the time you book.
The most important preparation is to stop shaving 5 days before the treatment. The length of the hair should be at least 3 mm to be able to grab the hair with tweezers. More information about the preparing for your session.
You can expect redness and swelling, which are normal reactions of the healing skin. Learn more about what to expect after electrolysis and what good aftercare entails.
