Time to go the girlie girl

just to revive this thread with some information that actually relates to the original subject of best hair removal options in Canberra, based on my partner’s experience with Bliss in Erindale, i would avoid IPL – wasted a lot of time and money at this place with multiple appointments and zero result. One appointment at Complete Skincare in Tuggers using a decent Laser machine and voila – hair gone and very little regrowth six months later…

Organisation Intersex International has an Intersex support group.

I go to Clear Complexions for my hair removal. They’re a bit on the expensive side (approx $110 for underarm hair removal per session), but they are very friendly and are very apologetic for administering what I would describe as the worse pain I’ve every felt in my life.

IOUs even… Damned apostrophe police.

hmmmn at the risk of being infantile and residing in the peanut gallery….

A week ago you posted claiming to be ‘clean cut’ then claimed to be a woman, then when queried on it your claimed to be a hisrute woman who would not change for anyone. Now you want hair removal and breast impants.

You wouldn’t happen to be the person who sent me the email form the Nigerian Bank who found that money in my dead relatives account would you?

While they’re not specifically intersex oriented, some of the Transgender groups might help as similar ‘problems’ are encountered.

For local groups try:

Fortunately, the Laser hair removal clinic I used is shut down, so I don’t have to warn you against them 🙂

Don’t even think about going anywhere but the CAPs clinic for breast enlargements – I have quite a few friends who rave about his skill (one friend has some considerable comparison experience, after having a few surgeries interstate). Apparently Dr Taylor is ‘the man’ to go to for most plastic surgeries in Canberra….

Hair removal – I can personally vouch for Dr Gibson at 1/4 Hannah St, Deakin, 6288 1933 … not sure about faces, but he does a great job of other body parts!

Hi streetwise – can’t comment on too much of your post, but I’ve had a few experiences with laser hair removal. I have visited two clinics quite recently and so I may not have an unequivocally balanced recommendation here, but of the two I have been to, I had quite good experiences with the clinic in Phillip (Cosmetic Laser Clinic – http://www.cosmeticlaserclinic.com.au/).

I found them to be up front and honest in the number of appointments that may be required, and their prices were very competitive. Their explanation for the siginificant price differences is that many other clinics advertise effective hair removal in fewer sessions, however, as they acknowledged that the number of sessions required can vary drammatically (from person to person and area to be treated), they prefer to go with the lower prices to encourage people to continue treatment for best results. I was also offered a ‘top up’ appointment in between my 1st & 2nd appointment at no extra charge.

During each session I have felt comfortable chatting to the assistants. I have not experienced any discomfort above what I feel is appropriate and overall found the process to be easily tolerable. I’d highly recommend their services, and on your first visit their consultative process is very thorough.

Good luck with your search!

Firstly, I am a bloke so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about but anyway…
A mate of mine has had some permanent hair removal recently and, while it hurt like a bitch despite the PR suggesting otherwise, she is happy with the result and, most importantly, the hair hasn’t grown back. If you don’t get any better info from anyone else I can chase up the name of where she had it done.
Secondly, the CAPS clinic is promoting itself as the ACTS best plastic surgeons. I wouldn’t have a clue if this is true or not, however, a while back the owner was renting his surgical theatres out for other procedures and I had to pick my wife up from there one morning. The waiting room was full of women with plaster over their noses or what looked like bandaging under their clothes around their chests. I can only assume that business was good by the amount of bruised looking people in the waiting room.
I have also heard that it is cheaper to fly to Thailand, have the surgery and re coup in a luxury hotel than it is to have it done here in Oz. Some prefer it because they are away from everyone during the bruised and sore bit. As an aside, people usually think of Thailand and other Asian countries as a bit dirtier that here however, I can attest that their medical facilities are as clean and modern as ours ( actually better in some cases).
Hope this helps.
