Skin Condition

You will notice slight redness and your skin will be bumpy after laser hair removal treatment. There may also be some discomfort, this is perfectly normal as your skin has just been zapped by lasers! It will subside after a few hours in most cases. If you are at all worried about the condition of your skin after treatment then contact the person who administered the treatment.

Makeup should be used as little as possible. If possible do not use any makeup on the treated area. Put moisturizer on the treated area as much as possible. The skin needs to be moisturized so avoid putting anything that might dry the skin out. This includes anti bacterial creams. Using anti bacterial creams are not necessary as there are no open wounds or openings.

Keep the skin protected after laser hair removal treatment. This means staying out of the sun as much as possible. You should wear a good sunscreen when out in the sun with at least sun protection factor of 25. Before laser hair removal treatment you should avoid the sun altogether. No tanning for at least four weeks before a treatment. If you have a sun burn you need to wait until the skin heals before undergoing another treatment.

After laser hair removal treatment you will notice that the hair seems like it is growing longer. This is actually the process of the hair coming out. Do not pluck, wax, or bleach any hairs that grow after all the treated hair comes out. If you really must remove hair after laser hair removal treatment then shave the hair. Be patient and do not expect there to be a complete hair removal after your first treatment.
