Today I had myfirst session of laser epilation and it really did go faster than I expected. Everyone was so nice and happy for me. The feeling itself was really a mess. The joy of finally starting this step (I have lots of hair dysphoria). The pain of the shoots themselves. and more that I wont get into.

at the end I noticed my face was all wet though I did not really realize I cried. Later I understood those were tears of joy.

I spent nearly a whole year dysphoric as fuck because my laser tech told me to avoid shaving between sessions. And it wasn't even true!

Aaarrrrrrrghhhhhggbbblll

Why did I never search on my own!? 😭😭😭 Every website I just checked agree you can shave between sessions

    damn, that's awful... i'm sorry :(

    for what it's worth, you are absolutely not the only one to have fallen for that. i have personally already saved two other girls from that fate (one had just started and the other had been not shaving for a few months by that point), and that's just people i've met within the past year - there are certainly a lot more!
    it's an insidious little thing because it sounds vaguely plausible so it's easy to just accept and never question it again.
