Laser Hair Removal Aftercare Instructions

Some redness and swelling is normal and may feel similar to a sunburn. This should go away in a few days. Some people may react more and have redness for up to 2 weeks.
During the 2 days after the laser treatment, hairs may shed. Please do not pick the hairs or skin.
Small blisters may occur if skin is burned. Please do not pick the blisters, and notify the clinic immediately if this happens.
Please read the labels on products before applying to your skin. Avoid irritants or any skin care products containing glycolic/glycolic acids, retinoids (such as Retin A) until all redness/skin irritation has resolved.
Clean the area twice daily with a gentle cleanser.
Apply broad spectrum sunscreen daily with reapplication as needed.
Shaving should be avoided until comfortable. Begin with light shaving.
Avoid strenuous exercise for the day as sweating may irritate the skin.
Make-up may be used as long as skin is not broken or irritated.
