Laser Hair Removal

Aftercare Tips

• • For most people, the area is generally swollen and red, and resolves itself within 24-hours.
  • The area treated is delicate, so treat it with care. You may feel discomfort similar to a sunburn. Usually this lasts for 12 – 24 hours.
  • Apply Aloe, clear Vitamin E gel, Polysporin, sunburn products or ice as often as desire
  • Do not soak in a hot bath, sauna or hot tub until the skin has returned to normal.
  • Avoid workouts where you will perspire – it will result in itchy, irritated skin.
  • A few days after the redness has faded, you may notice small brown dots – you can assist the process by using a dry face cloth, facial scrub, soft loofah, or can even shave them out.
  • If you have open areas on your face, you unfortunately can put NO make-up on top to cover – only Polysporin until it has healed.
  • Pimples can sometimes occur in areas where the hair is dense – use an anti-bacterial soap and mild acne products to help dry them up quickly.
  • If you develop any areas that appear to be infected (red, oozing, painful), you need to let the clinic know.
  • To avoid pigmentation, it is VITAL to wear sunscreen in the treated area daily (Minimum of SPF 60 for 4 weeks).
