What Non-Surgical FTM Procedures Do We Offer?

Gender-affirming care doesn’t have to mean going under the knife. For many transmasculine and non-binary individuals, non-surgical options offer powerful ways to affirm identity, enhance confidence, and create a more masculine appearance. Whether used on their own or in combination with surgery, these treatments can help you align how you look with how you feel inside.

Our offerings include:

  • Dermal Fillers: Add definition to the jaw, cheekbones, or temples to achieve a more angular, masculine structure.
  • Laser Hair Removal: Results in an 80–90% permanent reduction in unwanted hair after 6–8 sessions. It is ideal for shaping facial hair or eliminating unwanted body hair.
  • Microneedling and Facial Lasers: Smooth out acne scars or rough skin texture caused by testosterone, helping you feel more confident in your reflection.
  • Neurotoxins (Botox): Gender-affirming dosing techniques help lift the brows, reduce jaw roundness, and soften overly expressive areas without freezing your face.
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Strengthens hair growth—especially helpful post-transplant or along a masculinized hairline.

What to Expect

During the Procedure

Most sessions are quick, between 15 and 60 minutes, and require no sedation. We offer topical anesthetics and use gentle cannula techniques for injectables to minimize discomfort. Our providers are trained in gender-affirming protocols, ensuring your treatment is tailored to your goals and not just industry norms. Our team will walk you through your individualized treatment process to ensure you are well prepared for your procedure. 

 

Risks and Recovery

When performed by trained specialists, these procedures carry minimal risks. Temporary swelling, redness, or sensitivity are common and usually resolve within a few days. You’ll receive a personalized aftercare plan to support healing and maximize results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Yes, most patients see 80–90% permanent reduction after 6–8 sessions.

Are injectables painful?

We use topical numbing and flexible cannulas to reduce discomfort. Most patients find it very tolerable.

Can I bundle these with surgery?

Absolutely. Many patients add these services to their surgical follow-up or recovery timeline.

Does testosterone cause skin changes, and can those be treated non-surgically?

Yes, testosterone can increase oil production, acne, and scarring. Microneedling and laser resurfacing can reduce acne scars and improve overall skin texture for a smoother, clearer look.

Is PRP therapy effective for hairline masculinization in FTM patients?

PRP strengthens hair follicles and supports regrowth along the hairline, especially after grafts or in areas thinned by binding or testosterone-induced shedding.

Are non-surgical gender affirmation procedures covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by plan and procedure type. While many cosmetic services aren’t covered, we’ll help you explore financing and check your benefits for medically necessary treatments.

How long do dermal fillers last for FTM facial contouring?

Most patients see results for 6–12 months, depending on the area treated and the type of filler used. Regular maintenance can help preserve your preferred facial shape over time.

Can I get laser hair removal on my chest or abdomen?

Yes. Laser hair removal can target multiple areas, including the chest, stomach, and back—common treatment zones for trans men seeking a more traditionally masculine hair pattern.

Is there downtime after non-surgical gender affirmation treatments?

Most treatments involve little to no downtime. You can typically return to daily activities right away, with minor precautions based on the procedure type.
