AFTER CARE TIPS

Aftercare Tips

The procedure is relatively fast and effective. You should experience redness and light swelling depending on the sensitivity of their skin. If you experience these symptoms, don’t worry—they’re completely normal and temporary. Some patients will experience a hive like response, although lighter hair may not respond as significantly. If your skin feels irritated after a laser hair removal treatment, apply a topical cortisone cream or a cool compress to the area. Avoid exercise, hot tubs and hot baths for the first 24 hours after a treatment. Avoid excessive sun exposure for two weeks after the treatment, and always apply sunscreen before sun exposure.

*Cool Compresses

*Aloe vera

*Topical Cortisone cream

*Sun block of 30+ SPF  But no direct sun on laser area for 2 weeks
