It is widely taken as public knowledge that individuals transition from one gender to another however it is believed that the vast majority of the general public see this as a transition from male to female, never generally considering that trans issues affect individuals who wish to move from female to male. For the majority of f2m individuals this is a positive for the majority of the time as it means transmen can conduct their day to day lives without their trans status being an issue. However this lack of public and professional knowledge can sometimes lead to difficulties in finding essential treatment without having to enter into long explanations. The problem of hair removal both pre and post-operatively for men undergoing phalloplasty is one such case.
The need for hair removal is two-fold, firstly from the surgical point of view if the hair is not removed prior to surgery the hair can cause post operative infections and complications, which can result in the need to revisit the theatre. Secondly, on a purely practical level who has the time or inclination to shave on a daily basis? Hair removal generally falls under the auspices of the beauty salon and wanting a chest or back wax wouldn’t be considered out of the ordinary. However how many therapists would be familiar with the processes involved with phalloplasty, let alone the how and the where?
Fortunately at Cristianos no explanations are necessary. Cristianos Laser Clinic have a wealth of experience in treating transmen and women and have been commissioned by NHS AGEM to provide treatment for hair removal of this nature funded by the NHS. We have been able to work closely with Mr Ralph’s and Mr Christopher’s teams to perfect the process for clients both pre and post operatively.
