TRANS ENERGY IS SACRED ENERGY

At Aesthetics and Electrology Seattle, we are honored and delighted to work with the transgender community in the field of electrolysis and permanent hair removal. We hope to foster long lasting relationships in our treatment rooms and learn best how to serve you and your needs. Below, you will find more information on what to anticipate working with us and what expectations to hold moving forward.

Transgender clients are advised to consult their surgeons if planning GCS and to begin their hair removal well in advance. It's typically required prior to gender affirmation surgery.

Hormones significantly influence hair growth, whether you have been on hormone therapy for years or you have just begun. Hormone therapy can either reduce the speed and density of hair growth or increase it.

Testosterone can often enhance hair growth while estrogen can reduce the density and speed at which hair grows. Electrolysis offers a permanent solution to unwanted hair growth.

For some, LASER hair removal can be an effective method to reduce unwanted hair

prior to starting electrolysis. We can assess

if you're a suitable candidate for LASER hair removal and refer you to trusted specialists

in the field. You may also visit our page about electrolysis for who we recommend if you know you’d like to start with LASER hair removal.

We don’t charge extra for electrolysis on genital areas or for the use of topical numbing agents.
