Laser Hair Removal Aftercare Guide

To ensure the best results from your laser hair removal treatment, follow these essential aftercare tips:

1. Wear Loose Clothing

Loose clothing is recommended, especially for sensitive areas, to prevent rubbing and irritation. Choose breathable outfits like flowy dresses or baggy track pants for comfort.

2. Avoid Hot Baths & Showers

Since laser treatments create heat in the skin, avoid hot baths, showers, saunas, or intense exercise to prevent irritation and bacterial growth. Opt for a cool shower to soothe your skin.

3. Stay Out of the Sun

Sun exposure can increase skin sensitivity and cause burns. Stay out of direct sunlight for at least two weeks before and after your treatment. Use sunscreen (SPF 50+) and cover treated areas when outdoors.

4. Apply Recovery Cream

Post-treatment, your skin may feel warm. Apply a hydrating recovery cream up to three times a day to reduce redness and irritation. We recommend Balense Recovery Cream for soothing hydration.

5. Avoid Touching the Treated Area

It’s tempting to touch your freshly lasered skin, but avoid doing so without clean hands to prevent bacteria from entering open pores. Also, refrain from picking or squeezing the skin.

By following these simple aftercare steps, you can maximize your results and enjoy silky smooth skin for longer!
