yea, I did 12 laser sessions right when I started transitioning and it thinned things out but my skin is too dark for it to finish the job.

so I think I'm a bit weird as my skin is much, much more sensitive overall than any other part of my body. so I can get piercings without any issues but I suspect tattoos would be awful for me. so electrolysis is extremely painful for me. it easily hits a 9/10 on the pain scale after all the pain management stuff (lidocaine, tylenol, ibuprofen). codeine brought it down to an 8 which was manageable for me but it's bad enough that it's very nearly traumatizing (I'm having a fear reaction just remembering the experience) and I had to stop when I ran out of codeine. to compare, the generally accepted consensus is that more painful piercings are a 5/10 and that's about where my daith piercings came in for me. so I know I'm not just blowing the experience out of proportion. I have no clue why my skin is so much more sensitive but it very consistently is.

so I say all that to say that your experience probably won't be similar unless you have a similar problem. I hope that helps some!
