Skin Care Pre & Post Laser Hair Removal
It is very important to look after your skin pre and post laser hair removal and can directly affect the results of the treatment as well. Here is some advice on how to take care of your skin after laser hair removal.
Moisturising
Moisturising the treated area after laser hair removal is vital to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Laser hair removal can cause temporary swelling, redness, and itching, and a good moisturizer can help ease these symptoms.
It is recommended to use a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturiser that contains ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile, which are known for their soothing and hydrating properties. Avoid using harsh chemicals or essential oils in the treated area, as they can further irritate the skin.
You should apply the moisturiser at least twice a day, or as often as needed to keep your skin comfortable. Make sure to gently massage the moisturiser into the skin, especially on areas that may feel dry or itchy. Overall, moisturising after laser hair removal can help speed up the healing process and give you smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Exfoliating
Exfoliating after laser hair removal can be beneficial in removing dead skin cells and preventing ingrown hairs, also the dead skin cells can prevent the hair from shedding making the treatment less effective.
It is essential to wait a few days after the treatment, as the skin may be sensitive and may require time to recover. Your skincare specialist can recommend appropriate exfoliating products and techniques that are safe and effective for your skin type. It is also essential to follow a regular skincare routine to maintain the results of laser hair removal.
Sun cream
It is recommended to use sun block after laser hair removal as the treatment may leave the skin sensitive and more susceptible to sun damage. It is important to apply sun block with a high SPF and to avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week after the treatment. This will help to protect the skin and prevent any potential adverse reactions. Additionally, wearing protective clothing and staying in the shade during peak hours can further help to reduce the risk of sun damage.
