Like I got another (5th) session of laser on my face and I look like I have really thick beard shadow, I know it’s temporary but I have a hard time looking into the mirror… Sadly shaving doesn’t do anything because the hair is under the skin. :( It’s a tough week but I’ve had worse <3

    Yeah, some of my most acute dysphoric moments happened looking in the mirror after facial laser.

    I think using foundation helped me at the time, if you are really red some mica green color correction under can help too.

    I also try to ensure I can stay home and not have any important social events for a week or two after the appointment. My dysphoria is so much worse with all those dark hairs, and so so so much better after they fall out.
