Once laser hair removal has taken place, you may experience small stubbles in the treatment area – this is completely normal as your follicles are trying to shed dead skin from beneath their surface.
After laser hair removal, it is vital to take extra precaution to protect the newly exposed skin. Avoid direct sunlight and apply sunscreen with an SPF value higher than 50 to keep sun exposure at a minimum.
Wash Your Face Regularly
Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular treatment to effectively reduce unwanted facial and body hair. To get optimal results from a session of laser hair removal, there are certain things you must do and avoid prior and after.
Utilizing harsh soaps or exfoliative products on the skin after laser hair removal can cause significant irritation, so only use lukewarm water when cleansing your face with it. When exfoliating, take caution not to go over one area multiple times as this could cause severe crusting and even bleeding in some instances.
After cleansing your face, moisturizer should be applied consistently to restore and hydrate it. Your choice of moisturizer depends on what kind of skin you have; those with sensitive skin should choose light creams while those who suffer from acne should select an anti-inflammatory or antibacterial moisturizer as these will help prevent breakouts while increasing elasticity of skin. Vitamin C or ceramide-infused moisturizers may be especially helpful.
If you are uncertain of what products to use on your skin, it is recommended to seek advice from an aesthetician. Furthermore, deodorant or other products containing aluminum or talc should not be applied directly over areas where you have undergone laser hair removal as these chemicals may irritate and slow the natural shedding process post laser hair removal.
Applying makeup too soon after laser hair removal can cause further skin irritation, so it’s essential that the treatment area heals first. Cold packs or anti-inflammatory oils like virgin coconut oil may be useful during this time. In addition, it is wise to avoid sunless tanninners, tanning beds and hair chemical services on skin in the treatment area for better healing results.
Keep this in mind when scheduling laser treatment: tanning your skin before getting laser therapy can increase the likelihood of irritation. Furthermore, try to refrain from scheduling other procedures on the same area such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion for at least several days prior to and following laser treatment.
Exfoliate
Facial Laser Hair Removal is an excellent way to quickly and safely eliminate unsightly facial hair. The procedure saves both time and expense over shaving or waxing while leaving you with silky smooth skin – and confidence boost! Without unsightly facial hair to hide behind scarves or turtlenecks, confidence increases exponentially.
If you decide to undergo facial laser hair removal, it is essential that you know what steps can help ensure a proper healing process and avoid anything that might disrupt the healing process or trigger new hair growth. Avoid sun exposure after treatment as sunburn may cause discoloration or other damage; use sunscreen with high SPF protection whenever outdoors.
Avoid products that clog the pores, such as heavy creams and perfumed body washes, such as heavy lotions and perfumed body washes. Instead, look for gentle soaps or body washes with minimal ingredients that are effective at cleansing pores without overburdening sensitive skin. A face scrub may help remove dead skin cells while improving skin’s appearance; but don’t exfoliate too soon post treatment, as doing so could irritate sensitive areas; regular exfoliation after this initial period will help maintain healthy and glowing complexions!
Once the skin has completely recovered from treatment, natural exfoliants like sugar or salt scrubs may help remove dead skin and promote new cell production, leading to less fine lines and wrinkles as well as decreased oil production in your pores.
Moisturizer should be applied regularly following face laser hair removal to keep skin moisturized and prevent it from becoming dry or flaky, leading to itching and discomfort. Scratching excessively should also be avoided to avoid scarring from excessive scratching. Choose an ointment or lotion tailored specifically for your skin type and condition for best results.
Moisturize
Laser hair removal is an efficient and straightforward solution to unwanted facial hair, taking less than twenty minutes depending on the size of the treatment area to complete. Laser treatments offer long-term results so you no longer need razors or waxing kits!
After laser facial hair removal, it is vital that the skin be moisturized regularly in order to avoid drying out and becoming flaky. You can opt for creams with shea butter, cocoa butter or ceramides in them; alpha-hydroxy acids or retinoids could potentially irritate the skin further.
Make sure to moisturize after every laser hair removal session until the area has completely healed, using only gentle moisturizer without dyes or fragrances. Also avoid tanning beds, sun exposure and any hair chemical services for several weeks prior to and after your laser session.

Apply Sunscreen
For lasting laser hair removal results, it is imperative that the skin you’re treating be protected with sunscreen. A quality broad spectrum sunscreen with at least 30 SPF protection should do just the trick; make sure you reapply regularly!
Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment in hair follicles with light beams that penetrate directly into the skin, heating up their cores until they damage and prevent further growth of hair in that area. Since laser treatments leave your skin more susceptible than usual afterward, protecting it against harmful UV rays is vitally important – sunscreen may help, but there are other methods available as well for keeping yourself protected against its damaging effects.
Before and after laser hair removal treatments, it is advisable to limit exposure to direct sunlight. Unfortunately, this is sometimes not possible, such as when treating areas such as your face. If exposed to sunlight for any reason whatsoever, make sure you wear protective clothing (hat, long sleeves etc) along with sunscreen of SPF 30+ that suits your skin type.
Before and after laser hair removal, tanning should also be avoided to minimize risk of sun damage – specifically hyper-pigmentation, burns and scarring – as well as maximize effectiveness of laser sessions.
Considering laser hair removal? Consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in performing the procedure and familiar with working with your skin type and having a proven success track record. When looking for the perfect doctor to meet your needs, look for someone with strong patient-doctor relationships to ensure you receive high quality care and can maximize the efficacy of treatments. Likewise, avoid spas or salons offering nonmedical laser hair removal services as this could compromise quality care and maximize results.
