Following laser hair removal, proper aftercare is essential to reduce risks, improve healing, and achieve the best possible results. Please follow the guidelines below carefully.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT

✔ The treated skin may feel tender, red, or swollen—similar to mild sunburn.
✔ Occasional blistering, minor bruising, or crusting may occur but should heal naturally within 48 hours to 2 weeks.
✔ If you are concerned at any stage, contact your practitioner immediately.

AFTERCARE GUIDELINES

DO:

✔ Keep the area clean and dry for 48 hours after treatment.
✔ Apply a cold pack to reduce discomfort or irritation.
✔ Use aloe vera gel for 3 days to soothe the skin. A gentle moisturising cream is also beneficial.
✔ Wear loose clothing to avoid friction on the treated area for 48 hours.
✔ Wear SPF 50+ sunscreen for at least 2 weeks post-treatment to protect sensitive skin.
✔ Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing and plan future sessions.

AVOID:

✖ Perfumes, fake tan, or harsh chemicals for 72 hours after treatment.
✖ Makeup on the treated area for 48 hours (to prevent infection).
✖ Rubbing, picking, or scratching the treated area—especially if scabbing or blistering occurs.
✖ Shaving for 72 hours after treatment.
✖ Waxing, tweezing, or threading for the entire duration of your treatment course.
✖ Exfoliating the skin for 72 hours post-treatment.
✖ Using products with AHA, retinol, or glycolic acid for at least 7 days.
✖ Strenuous exercise, saunas, hot showers, sunbeds, or heat exposure for 72 hours.
✖ Swimming for 72 hours after treatment.
✖ Consuming excessive alcohol or caffeine for 48 hours, as they can slow healing.

WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION

Contact your practitioner immediately if you experience:

• Signs of infection (hot, red, shiny skin, pus, fever, or feeling unwell).

• Any other unexpected side effects that concern you.
