EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I was fully en drab and not even trying to be Alyssa. The only thing was I had my boy jacket on, which covered my boy shirt. That's the only thing I can think of that made a difference. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I share your happiness, my sister! I'm going for my first laser hair removal this weekend, the first of five treatments over the next 16 months which will eliminate my beard completely. I can hardly wait.

Laser is no guarantee of complete beard removal and it is quite common for people to switch to electrolysis to get rid of it completely. Don't get your hopes too high! And best of luck!

Well, I finally made it to see my Princess. Here I am on her compy right now She's so cool.....happy and bubbly all the time. I'd love some of her nonstop energy. We've had a lot of fun so far with much more to come. I love her so much! *Huggles*

I've been thoroughly briefed on this. I know laser doesn't work on blonde or grey hairs.

My facial hair is dark brown for the most part. Laser will take care of it. However, about 20 per cent of my beard is grey. For that, I'll need electrolysis.

Laser will not always kill dark/brown hairs and more often than not, just make them lighter in color, thinner and weaker...which will require electrolysis. Laser is no guarantee of permanent removal for dark hairs...sometimes, they also come back as dark and strong.

Just be sure they use enough energy...it needs to be somewhat painful...and try finding operators who have treated beards in the past. This will likely lead to better, more effective and permanent results.

The place I'm going to has lots of experience removing beards from genetic males. It's a part of a chain called SonaMedSpa. I'll be showing up an hour early to get topical anaesthetic applied to my face, so clearly they're using enough energy to cause some pain. I'll let everybody know how it comes out.
