Perineal hair removal:

More and more surgeons are requesting that hair is removed from the Perineal area prior to Male to Female reassignment surgery. The skin tissue used to create the vaginal cavity is naturally hair bearing. Whilst it is not essential from a surgical point of view to have hair removed it can result in complications for the patient after surgery if the area is not hair free.

Prior to laser hair removal some clients had electrolysis to clear the genital area, apart from being an unpleasant experience for the client the angle of insertion for the Electrologist is very difficult therefore incorrect insertion could lead to the destruction of the tissue, which is extremely unhelpful for the surgeon.

Removal of the hair from the genitalia by means of electrolysis, prior to reassignment surgery and in order to prevent the presence of hair inside the new vaginal cavity, was considered particularly difficult. The nature of the tissue meant that correct insertion of the needle was difficult leading to the possibility of tissue damage. Many surgeons advised that the hair be left. The advent of laser removed the danger of tissue damage and several surgeons are now advising their patients to consider laser treatment.

Although we do not have the opportunity to scope the new vaginal cavity for the presence of regrowth the clients who have received treatment with us have reported a high degree of satisfaction and have not reported any experience with problematic regrowth.

After consulting with leading surgeon Mr Phil Thomas we can recommend approximately 8-10 laser treatments on the perineal area and, as no treatment can be carried out after surgery, the ideal time to start treatment is 12-18 months prior to surgery, giving ample time to address any regrowth
