How long between treatments and how long did your hair need to grow before having another session?
Before answer you I need to add something about pain.
I was referred my PCP to this Trans wellnes center in Cathedral city, they have technicians, therapists and doctors there. It was a long drive from home to them to do the initial evaluation and submit for approval again to insurance. At the same time they prescribed a cream with lidocaine and other "caine" fornthe pain.
They told me to use on the area to treat 45 minutes before and keep it wet, do not let it dry, so while driving to Murrieta, 35 minutes from home, I was reapplying cream to the upper lip.
There was immediately a numbness sensation as when you go to the dentist.
There was a tolerable while electricity is applied to "boil" the folicle.
Before the second session I read the cream instructions and says apply o e hour before. I did it and keep wet and there was minimum pain.
They approved 90 sessions. I was referred to a near home location.
I'm not clear yet how many weeks but we'll be doing 2 weekly hours. If it's not fully done, I have to request more sessions.
To start this has given en me an extra feeling of confide ce. Less concealer is needed and being there between just women, because is a salon with around 30 suites for differe.t hair, nails, etc treatments, I used the restroom for finish shaving and make up before leavi g to work as an Uber driver and everybody was nice. I say this because interactions with health workers is always nice but with women, no trans, that are there for different reasons could be difficult but everybody was nice.
Pain is not a big deal. I recommend to everybody to do it.
