Hair removal for Surgical Preparation
Whether Vaginoplasty or Phalloplasty our team of specialists is here to help you prepare for surgery by utilizing laser hair removal and/or electrolysis. Our specialist technicians are well-versed in surgical requirements and client needs, making your hair removal process easy and worry-free.
We recommend allowing at least 12-18 months for hair removal and often advise beginning hair removal around 6 months prior to your first surgery consultation. This allows ample time for hair removal before your surgery date.
Vaginoplasty:
Laser hair removal is recommended to remove hair from the genital area where tissue will be used to create the vaginal canal. The removal process should begin at least a year in advance to ensure enough time for full treatments.
After speaking with your surgeon and determining which technique is right for you, be sure to share that information with your technician. Clients can opt to remove all hair in the pubic and genital areas or just the surgical prep areas.
- *At this time we are only accepting new clients for the method of laser hair removal for vaginoplasty.
- Phalloplasty:
For phalloplasty, hair removal is usually performed on areas such as the forearm or thigh, where skin grafts are taken to construct the phallus. Permanent hair removal treatments are essential to avoid post-surgical complications.
Once you've consulted with your surgeon to determine whether your arm or leg will serve as the donation site, our team can proceed with the appropriate treatment, whether it's laser hair removal or electrolysis.
- *We request that you please bring a diagram of the perimeter required by your surgeon to be removed for surgery, to keep in your file.
- *Please specify if you are preparing for surgery when booking your appointment to ensure you are booked correctly.
