See title. I’m on HRT for over 11 months now, thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve a hunch the dose is a bit low, though. I get androgen blockers every 2-3 months, my last one was one month ago.
Normally my arm hairs aren’t very visible, so I didn’t have much dysphoria from that. However, recently my arm hair seems to be growing a lot and thicker, and I’m concerned. Is this normal?
My mum doesn’t really have a lot of arm hair, nor do other gals in my family.
Hair is cyclical. I used a cheap IPL gun from Amazon to get rid of most of the thicker hair. I’ve used it all over my body and it has helped a lot, though I got electrolysis on my face.
But even with the “permanent” methods it’s just getting rid of what’s growing at that moment. Cycles of hair growth mean more pops up periodically requiring more treatment.
So, first get your hormone levels checked to avoid growing as much and then try some IPL, laser, or electrolysis if you want more reduction.
