- It is important that you stay out of the sun to avoid UV exposure on all lasered areas after treatment. Use sun protection with a high SPF throughout the course of your treatments. Avoid UV exposure during the treatment period up to six weeks following your last treatment.
- Moisturizer may be applied after each treatment.
- If the skin is irritated, apply a cool damp cloth.
- Make-up may be applied immediately after facial treatment if the skin is intact.
Here’s what you can expect after your laser hair removal appointments:
- Redness and irritation – It’s totally normal to see redness and/or irritation around your lasered areas. This redness—that may look like a mild sunburn—can last a few days, but usually subsides after a few short hours.
- The appearance of new hair growth – Anywhere from seven to 30 days after your appointment, you may notice hair growth in treated areas. Don’t panic! After laser treatments, the targeted hairs take time to fall out of the follicle which is why it looks like new hairs are growing. Keep shaving and come back for your next appointment in four to six weeks.
