    For body hair, some people recommend waiting because HRT itself will thin it out. So, it saves time, money, and pain.

    But I don't think HRT does anything for facial hair IIRC. And given laser takes time to work (hair grows in cycles, so it takes a while to get hairs in different phases all taken care of). So its something to get as soon as you want and can afford it (or get insurance to pay for it if you are in one of the areas where that's a thing).

        Oh, apparently I was wrong about the face (it also thins, but I think its still unlikely to give satisfactory results compared to body hair). Seems like 6-12 months might be when to expect noticeable changes? Whereas laser would give results a lot quicker. Personally, I don't think I'd wait that long. I don't have time during the summer because work, so I'm still waiting until after that.
