What color is your hair? What type of laser are they using? How high is it set? Dermablend is generally good. Persobally I use a CC cream (color correcting) Minimal blending required, neutralized any discolorations/imperfections in my skin, and tends to hide that 'awful shadow' when I still had one.
I tend to find there are a lot of really scummy and dishonest laser/electrolysis operators out there who will take advantage of transgender clients even more so than cis ones because we NEED THIS DONE.
Not to scare you but some arent above telling people theyre a 'good candidate' for laser regardless of their hair color/skin color contrast and are more than happy to bill you hundreds of dollars for essentially doing nothing.
Id suggest next tie you visit just ask a lot of honest questions to satisfy your curiosity. I found my first session I already saw NOTICEABLE shedding and a significant reduction and then the results kinda lessened with each treatment because there were so few dark hairs to be treated and made the switch to electrolysis.

I've been using derma blend for years. This stuff is a life saver. I'm multi-racial and my facial hair is just resistant. I've done electrolysis, laser, you name it. I still use dermablend in the beard areas. I tend to use a lighter formula foundation on the forehead, nose & checks and blank out the chin and upper lip areas with Dermablend,
