Post-Laser Hair Removal Care: What to Do and What to Avoid

Today, we’re diving into the world of post-Laser Hair Removal care. Now, we all know that smooth, hair-free skin is an absolute must, so, let’s discuss what to do and what to avoid after getting Laser Hair Removal treatment from Pnina Luxe Hair Removal.

Pnina Luxe Hair Removal specializes in both Laser Hair Removal and Electrolysis. Check out our amazing reviews on Google.

Be sure to check out our previous blog post about how many laser hair removal sessions needed for optimal results.

Sensitive Skin

First things first, right after your Laser Hair Removal session, your skin might be a tad sensitive. So, here’s the deal: avoid exposing your freshly lasered skin to the sun. I mean, we all adore a beautiful tan, but this is not the time for it. Sunburn on top of Laser Hair Removal is a big no-no, and we want to protect that precious skin.

Speaking of protection, let’s talk sunscreen. It’s your new best friend! When you do venture out into the sunlight, make sure you slather on that sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Your skin is like a delicate designer handbag; you’ve got to keep it safe and looking great.

Now, I know some of us love our hot bubble baths and steamy showers, but right after Laser Hair Removal, it’s all about taking it easy. Skip the hot water and stick to lukewarm showers for a few days. Hot water can irritate your skin, and we want it to be as happy and smooth as possible.

And while we’re on the subject of post-Laser pampering, avoid those steamy saunas and hot tubs too. I mean, let’s be honest, who has time for those with our busy schedules? But if you do indulge, just remember, you might end up looking like a lobster.

Exfoliation & Moisturizing

Now, let’s talk exfoliation. I know it’s tempting, but immediately after your Laser Hair Removal treatment, put away those scrubs and loofahs. Your skin needs a little break from all that rubbing and scrubbing. And don’t even think about waxing or plucking the treated area. We’re in the Laser Hair Removal zone now, and those methods are off-limits for a while.

What about moisturizing, you ask? Well, moisturizing is like that essential accessory that ties your whole look together. So, keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. And remember, the keyword here is “gentle.” Your skin is like a fine silk blouse, and it deserves the best.

Now, if you experience any redness or swelling after your Laser Hair Removal, don’t fret. You can use a cold compress to soothe your skin.

Exercise

And last but not least, avoid any vigorous activities that make you break a sweat for a day or two. It’s like skipping that high-intensity workout class, and let’s be honest, who needs it? Sweating can irritate your freshly lasered skin, and we want to keep it cool and collected.

So, there you have it. Post-Laser Hair Removal care is all about giving your skin the royal treatment it deserves. No sun, gentle care, and a touch of pampering – just like we all know we deserve! Remember, Laser Hair Removal is our ticket to silky-smooth, hassle-free skin. Flaunt it with confidence and style, because you, my dears, are the true stars of this fabulous show.

Use These Products

Before each appointment, we recommend using Schick Hydro Silk Touch Up Exfoliating Dermaplaning Tool to prepare your skin before coming in for your appointment. This nifty tool is like a prepping session before a big event. It exfoliates your skin and removes dead cells, making it easier for the electrolysis process to work effectively. This step helps your skin stay smooth and blemish-free.

We also recommend using LMX5 Lidocaine Pain Relief Cream at least 30 minutes before your next electrolysis appointment. This cream is like your secret weapon to make the experience as pain-free as possible. Lidocaine is a numbing agent that helps reduce discomfort during the session. It’s like having a little extra cushion for your skin.

After an appointment, we recommend using Dickinson’s Alcohol Free Gentle Balancing Toner to help your skin heal; This toner is like a soothing massage for your skin. It helps balance your skin’s pH levels and reduces any potential irritation or redness that can occur after the treatment.

We also recommend using Aloe Vera Gel after each electrolysis appointment. Aloe vera is like a healing balm for your skin. It’s known for its soothing properties and can help calm any redness or swelling. It’s a natural way to ensure your skin stays as lovely as ever.
