Do I need electrolysis before FFS/GCS?

Most surgeons require pre-surgical hair removal from graft or donor sites to a specific standard. Timelines are worked backward from your surgery date to allow enough hair-growth cycles for full clearance.

Should I do laser first?

Laser-first, electrolysis-finish is a common and effective path — laser reduces the dense population and electrolysis permanently eliminates the remaining follicles, including the grey and light hairs laser can’t see.

Do you require any letters or documentation to book?

No. No letters, no documentation, no gatekeeping. You know what you need — you can book directly.

Pillar: Gender-Affirming

Gender-Affirming Electrolysis, Done Right

Electrolysis is the standard for transgender facial hair removal and pre-surgical clearance because it is permanent and works on all hair — including the grey and light hairs that pigment-based methods leave behind. Wurayo offers extended sessions up to 120 minutes, full-day weekday and weekend availability, and care that is affirming from first contact.

Facial hair removal for trans women

Full facial clearance typically requires 100–400+ hours over 12–24+ months, depending on beard density, hair color, and HRT timeline. Your personalized plan is built at consultation. Laser-first, electrolysis-finish paths are welcomed and often shorten the overall timeline.

Pre-surgical (GAS) hair removal

Clearance of graft or donor sites to your surgeon’s specification. Timeline planning working backward from your surgery date — follicles need multiple growth cycles, so starting 12–24 months out is the honest floor.

We coordinate with your surgical team’s requirements and can adjust cadence in the final months as needed.

Sessions built around your timeline

Extended sessions up to 120 minutes, back-to-back availability where scheduling allows, and full-day weekday and weekend hours. Prepaid collections make consistent progress more affordable across a long plan.
