After Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment:

Immediately After Treatment

• Redness and mild swelling around hair follicles is normal. It may feel like a mild sunburn and usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
• Apply a cool compress or aloe vera gel to soothe the area as needed.

For the First 24–48 Hours

• Avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, steam rooms, and jacuzzis.
• Do not apply makeup, deodorant, or scented products to the treated area (unless advised otherwise).
• Avoid excessive sweating – skip workouts, hot yoga, etc.
• Avoid rubbing, scratching, or exfoliating the treated area.

For 3–7 Days

• No sun exposure or tanning on the treated area. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.
• Avoid chemical peels, retinoids, glycolic/salicylic acids, or other strong skincare products in the area.
• Do not wax, pluck, or tweeze any hairs – shaving is allowed between sessions.
• Dead hairs may begin to shed – this can look like new growth but is normal.

Ongoing Care Between Sessions

• Shave only as needed – allow the hair to shed naturally.
• Moisturize regularly with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion.
• Use sunscreen daily, especially on exposed areas.
• Stay on schedule – follow your recommended treatment plan for best results.

When to Call the Clinic

• If you notice blistering, prolonged redness (over 3 days), pus, or signs of infection.
• If you have unexpected skin reactions or worsening discomfort.
• If you are unsure about any product or activity post-treatment.
