Did any of you socially transition quickly after realizing you were trans and before HRT?

I've been seeing some youtube videos of trans girls doing HRT timelines. When they post their starting point or 1 to 2 week check in, they already look pretty flawless. I don't see any facial or body hair and they have smooth skin.

I never did any skincare before realizing I was trans and I didn't do anything for my hair other than shaving my facial hair every few days.

Do the trans girls who already look great when starting HRT come from a history of taking care of their skin and facial hair, or did they wait a long time before starting HRT after realizing they were trans and started taking care of their skin and facial hair then?
