Hair Removal There are two main techniques of hair removal in Male to Female Transsexuals. Electrolysis has been around for about 100 years. It is slow requiring about 150-400 hours of time to remove a medium growth beard. Laser treatments vary in success depending on the type of laser and the skill of the operator. The individuals listed below are professionals that I personally or through direct comments from patients have found to be competent and compassionate towards transgendered individuals. It is by no means a complete list of persons in Portland and the Metropolitan Area that I perform excellent service. Omission of a name does not imply a lack of skill or compassion towards the Transgendered. I believe that since successful passage is highly dependant on eliminating or reducing the presence of the male beard, that a combination of an initial clearing of the face using a skillfully applied laser followed by electrolysis may offer the quickest and best hope for a feminine appearance.

area. This is done only in my Milwaukie Office and is not covered
by insurance. All of the individuals below do excellent work and very compassionate towards transgendered
