[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a recommendation for a place to get electrolysis in Montgomery County? [/quote]

I'm trans and have done quite a lot of laser and electrolysis, the electrolysis people I know about are: Marta, Donna, Fran, Kelly, Soheila (A Gentle Touch).

Shoheila is the only one that does multi-needle galvanic if you're interested in that. The others can do single needle thermolysis, galvanic, or blend. The upper lip is the most uncomfortable part of the face but you can use 5% numbing cream ahead of it.

If I might make a recommendation though, I'd suggest talking to your doctor if you can try using spironolactone. You can't use it if you are or might become pregnant but if you're done having kids it's used off label for facial hair growth in cisgender women (it's also an off label treatment for hair loss as well as acne treatment). At high doses it can cause low blood pressure (it's technically a blood pressure medication) and it's a diuretic. [/quote]
I'm not the poster that you responded to, but thank you so much for the recommendations and knowledge. I've been doing everything that I can (at home) to get this under control. It's my biggest insecurity. My main problem is that I'm too embarrassed to mention this to my doctor.[/quote]
