Laser Hair Removal Aftercare

Proper aftercare following laser hair removal is crucial to ensure optimal results and minimise the risk of complications. Here are some general guidelines for laser hair removal aftercare:

Skip Hot Baths and Showers:

• Avoid hot baths, showers, saunas, and hot tubs for at least 24 hours after the procedure.

• Use lukewarm water when washing treated areas.

Avoid Makeup:

• Refrain from using makeup on the treated area for at least 24 hours.

Avoid Irritating Products:

• Avoid using products that may irritate the skin, such as perfumed lotions or scrubs.

• Do not use any hair removal methods (waxing, plucking) between sessions.

Use Cold Compresses:

• If there is redness or swelling, applying cold compresses can help soothe the skin.

• Make sure the compress is wrapped in a clean cloth to prevent direct contact with the treated area.

Avoid Sun Exposure:

• Direct sun exposure should be avoided for a few weeks after the treatment.

• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to protect treated areas from UV radiation.

Avoid Scratching:

• Refrain from scratching or picking at the treated area, even if there is temporary redness or irritation.
