Do anti-androgens reduce facial hair growth on an AMAB? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

My health care provider most likely won't prescribe any kind of estrogen, but it just hit me that they probably don't even know what testosterone blockers are. So...

Would a monotherapy with only anti-androgens help with reducing facial hair growth?

I'm quite tired of spending a fortune on IPL and my threshold for pain is so ridiculously low that it's a hell every time. They have had to order an opioid cream just for me...

I'm on anti-androgens AND Estrogen for a few months and I couldn't observe a meaningful reduction in hair growth so far.

Do you use IPL in the face? I thought that was advised against by all the applicatiins.

    Edit: and thanks for your quick comment! 🩷

    Whaaaa 😱 They use some really advanced Japanese machine, so maybe it's not as bad as a consumer grade one? Anyway, after 8-10 treatments the skin doesn't seem to be hurt or damaged... Of course my face looks as if I had rubbed nettle all over it right after each treatment, but that subsides in a day.
