Let’s say I, a middle aged cis man went to my doctor, wanting gender affirming care, and my doctor wanted to provide - what, if anything, would the treatment/care consist of? Just making sure my testosterone level was up to Hegseth-approved standards?
Autocorrect with skynet aspirations, or is this a medical procedure I’ve never heard of?

Hair removal by electrolysis
maybe I messed it up but whatever the getting rid of leg hair thing is.
Laser hair removal?
Not exactly. Electrolysis is a needle inserted into a hair follicle’s surrounding skin pore, and electricity is passed into the root bulb of the hair to kill the hair root. It’s permanent. Has to be done during the hair’s growth phase. It’s one hair specific and a slow process but when it works the results are permanent.
Laser hair removal is a laser light shown on patch of skin that burns an active hair bulb to kill and or stunt a hair’s growth. This is more a shotgun approach compared to electrolysis. Works better on pale skin.
yeah. actually. that sounds more right.
Electrolysis targets individual hair shafts with electric pulses and can work where laser didn’t. Mostly used on smaller areas bc it can be painful
