Along your hair-free journey, your laser technician will share helpful tips for proper aftercare and subsequent effective treatments. This post-treatment care includes:
- Moisturizing: Moisturizers hydrate the skin and can help reduce any potential discomfort or skin irritation during treatment. Additionally, it prevents dryness, speeds up healing time, and reduces the chance of getting ingrown hairs.
- Sun Protection: This is a significant part of keeping your skin healthy and your hair-free goals intact. Applying sunscreen daily will protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Also, wearing hats or loose, comfortable clothing provides additional protection from direct sun exposure to keep your skin at its natural tone, which is necessary for treatment. Avoid tanning beds and other topical tanning products.
- Paying Attention to Your Skin: If your skin feels sensitive to the touch, give yourself some extra time with any shower routine or topical application.
