Milan Laser
Post-Treatment Instructions
Redness/Swelling
Immediately after treatment there may be redness and swelling of each hair follicle in the treatment site. Swelling may last 4 hours or longer, the redness may last up to 2-3 days. The treated area may feel warm similar to a mild sunburn for a few hours after treatment.
Make-up
There are no restrictions on makeup but be gentle (as if you had a sunburn) for the first 24-48 hours.
Soothe skin
A topical skin care product such as Aloe Vera gel may be applied following treatment if desired.
Avoid Sun
Avoid sun exposure for 4 weeks after treatment to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation (darker pigmentation).
Use sunblock
Use a sunblock (SPF 50+) at all times throughout the course of treatment. Re-apply every 2 hours when in the sun.
Laser only
Do not use any other treatments (waxing, threading, hair removal creams, electrolysis or tweezing) in the treatment area for 4 to 6 weeks after the laser treatment is performed.
Shaving
You may shave the treatment area between treatments as many times as you see fit.
Shedding
Anywhere from 5 to 14 days after the treatment, shedding of the hair may occur and can appear as new hair growth. Don’t worry, this is NOT new hair! You can remove this hair by washing or wiping the area with a wet cloth or loofah sponge.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating is important to prevent ingrown hairs. We suggest a gentle facial scrub for your face and a wet cloth or loofah for your body.
Bathing
There are no restrictions on bathing but be gentle (as if you had a sunburn) for the first 24 hours.
