Laser hair removal aftercare

After your laser hair removal treatment, there are a few things you can do to ensure proper healing and minimise any potential side effects.

July 2024

1. Keep the treated area clean

Gently clean the area with mild soap and Luke warm water, avoiding any harsh products or scrubbing. Pat the area dry with a clean towel.

2. Avoid sun exposure

Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure for at least a week or two. If you need to go out, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to prevent any potential pigmentation changes.

3. Avoid heat

Stay away from hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, or any activities that could cause excessive sweating for a couple of days after the treatment. Heat can irritate the treated area, so it's best to keep it cool.

4. Moisturise regularly

Apply a gentle, non-irritating moisturiser to the treated area to keep it hydrated and prevent dryness or flaking. Be sure to choose a moisturiser that is fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin.

5. Avoid picking or scratching

It's important to resist the temptation to pick at any scabs or blisters that may form. Let them heal naturally to minimise the risk of scarring or infection.

6. Avoid certain skincare products

For a few days after the treatment, avoid using any skincare products that contain harsh ingredients, such as retinoids or exfoliants. These can further irritate the skin.

Every individual may have different needs, so it's important to follow any specific instructions given to you. Remember, you can always contact me on Beauty Bar WhatsApp 02088140011.
