Popular Non-Surgical Treatments for Transfeminine Patients

Gender-affirming care isn’t limited to surgery. For many transfeminine and non-binary individuals, non-surgical services offer powerful, identity-affirming ways to enhance femininity, soften masculine features, and feel more at home in their skin. Whether used alone or as part of your broader transition, these treatments offer a safe and effective path to expression, without downtime or general anesthesia.

Our non-surgical offerings include:

  • Dermal Fillers: Soften angular features, contour the cheeks, or add volume to the lips — all using gender-affirming dosing techniques.
  • Neurotoxins (Botox): Feminizes facial dynamics by lifting the brows, smoothing the forehead, or narrowing the jaw.
  • Laser Hair Removal: Reduces unwanted facial or body hair with up to 90% permanence after 6–8 sessions. Common areas: face, chest, arms, and legs.
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Stimulates hair regrowth in thinning areas, especially helpful for preserving a feminized hairline post-transplant.
  • Microneedling and Facial Lasers: Improve skin texture, reduce pore size, and promote a luminous, even tone.

What to Expect

During the Procedure

Most treatments take 15–60 minutes and require no sedation. We use topical anesthetics and gentle cannula techniques to minimize discomfort. Every session is tailored to your goals, not industry norms. Our team is trained in gender-specific protocols to help you feel seen, heard, and supported.

Risks and Recovery

Side effects like redness, swelling, or sensitivity are typically mild and fade within a few days. You’ll leave with a personalized aftercare plan and often see visible results the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I combine these with surgery?

Absolutely. Many patients choose these as pre-surgical prep or post-op touchups.

Are non-surgical facial feminization treatments covered by insurance?

Coverage varies. Some treatments may be eligible if deemed medically necessary. Our team can help you navigate pre-authorization and documentation.

How soon will I see results from non-surgical feminization procedures?

Many patients immediately see visible improvements with injectables, while laser and PRP results build over time. Your provider will create a timeline aligned to your goals.

Do injectables hurt?

Not much. We use numbing cream and flexible tools to reduce discomfort.

Can Botox make my face look more feminine?

Yes. When strategically placed, neurotoxins can lift the brows, narrow the jawline, and smooth the forehead for a more delicate, traditionally feminine appearance.

What are the best fillers for facial feminization without surgery?

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane are ideal for lip enhancement, cheek softening, and jaw contouring, especially when applied using gender-affirming protocols.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Yes, most patients see an 80–90% permanent reduction after a full course.

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need for my face or body?

Most transfeminine patients need 6 to 8 sessions for long-lasting reduction, with occasional touch-ups depending on hair density and hormone levels.

Can I get laser hair removal before starting estrogen?

Absolutely. Starting early can make treatments more effective, especially on dark, coarse hair. It also reduces gender incongruence during early transition stages.

Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration effective for transgender women?

Yes, especially when started early. PRP can strengthen thinning hair and support feminized hairlines, particularly after hair transplant surgery or while on estrogen.

What’s the difference between microneedling and laser resurfacing?

Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin to stimulate collagen, while lasers target deeper pigment and texture concerns. Both improve skin tone, acne scars, and fine lines.
