Laser Hair Removal Aftercare Guide

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from sun exposure and tanning 3–4 weeks prior to treatment or use a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen regularly to prevent skin damage and complications during and after the treatment.
Stop Topical Skincare Products: Refrain from using any topical products that may irritate your skin, such as retinoids, exfoliants, alpha or beta hydroxy acids, or other harsh skincare products, for 2–3 days before your treatment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and the risk of adverse reactions during the procedure. Switch to gentle skincare options during this period to keep your skin calm and balanced.
Temporarily Stop Medications: If your medical condition permits, avoid using anticoagulant medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners for 7–10 days before your treatment. These medications can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding during the procedure.
Shave the Area Clean: Shave the treatment area before your appointment and ensure that all shaved hair is removed. This helps the treatment to be more effective and reduces the risk of irritation. Ensure your skin is thoroughly clean, free of any lotions, oils, makeup, or other products.

Aftercare Instructions

Apply Sun Protection: Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure and apply SPF for 3 weeks after the treatment. Continue to use sunscreen regularly for 3 weeks leading up to your next session to help keep your skin in the best possible condition for further treatments.
Keep Moisturized: You can apply a moisturizer after your laser treatment to help support the aftercare process and maintain skin hydration.
Let Your Skin Calm Before Using Make-up: If your skin feels calm and isn’t showing any signs of irritation, you can apply makeup after your laser treatment.
