It’s been a while since I posted. A lot has been changing and happening for me.
I got on a prescription scalp treatment, and I can see little dark hairs setting up base in the No-Man’s-Land that used to be my hair line, they are surrounded by an army of blonde hairs that I can feel, but not see. I’ve only been on the treatment for maybe a week, so I’m very hopeful between that and HRT that I may actually be able to grow my hair out again!
I had bought a Tria 4x at home laser for hair removal on eBay for $170 USD that I’ve been using on my chest and face so far. The face was so painful with all the deep close together hairs that when I do my chest it feels like the device isn’t working. My beard shadow is starting to fade, and you only really notice it in my side burns (I started at the Tragus to avoid going too high), the rest isn’t as dark anymore and stays smooth a day or so longer after a shave shower now. It takes a long while, but I’m still firmly in boy mode, so I don’t mind it right now, and it will hopefully be mostly done by the time I end up girl moding a majority of the time.
Also, as an aside, my face is softening up, I noticed specifically in the lips, they seem brighter and softer.
Attached picture is my current nail art, base coat is Oaseas, with a light coat of Saturn it up for some glitter and pink contrast. I’m loving it so wanted to share!
I'm glad it's working so quickly!!
I might be being overly optimistic, but considering my dysphoria really hit me hard first about my hair, and slowly cascaded into the realizations about everything else, I’m ecstatic to see any changes to reclaim it, and to reclaim myself.
I used to live stream on DLive before pewdiepie joined and someone told me going bald was a choice and I couldn’t fathom being able to afford treatment.
So glad I got it off that mindset!
