The treated areas are very delicate and should be treated with care. Some of the important precautions which should be taken post laser facial hair removal treatment are:

  • Avoid intense exercises/ workouts for at least 24 hrs after the treatment. As sweating can cause bacteria and this could lead to infection in the treated area.
  • Avoid hot water showers instead use cold or lukewarm water
  • Avoid using cosmetics and anti- inflammatory creams over the treated skin as this can lead to skin irritations.
  • Avoid additional laser treatments on the treated area for at least 2 weeks post treatment.
  • Avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment
  • Aloe vera gel is recommended on the treated area for two to four days to soothe any redness or swelling
  • Avoid makeup on the treated area
  • Use mild soaps
  • Avoid steam, hot tub for two to three days after the treatment
  • Do not scrub the treated area forcefully as it will damage the skin which is still tender after the treatment.
  • Regularly check for the signs of infection (if any)
  • Use moisturizer after the treatment
  • Use sunscreen lotion for the next 30 days to help prevent temporary changes in the color of the treated skin.
  • Use cool compresses to ease any discomfort or swelling in the treated area and also to promote healing.
  • Avoid deodorant and other topical creams or medications for 24 hours
  • Avoid scratch or picking the treated area
  • Avoid sunbathe after the first three days of the treatment
  • Avoid using seat warmers immediately after treatment
  • Avoid any chemical procedures on the treated area for at least 2-3 weeks post-treatment
  • If you experience any prolonged side effects like redness or swelling, call your doctor or visit the clinic for further treatment.
  • Avoid swimming for few weeks after the treatment as the chlorine in the swimming pool water would irritate the skin
  • If skin is broken, apply an antibiotic ointment until healed
  • If you experience any stinging sensation on the treated area apply ice packs or cool moist cloths for relief
  • Keep the treated area clean with mild cleansers
  • After 3 days the treated area needs to be exfoliated
  • Avoid any other type of skin treatment for 2 weeks after the procedure
