Maintaining Your Laser Hair Reduction Results: Post-Treatment Care and Follow-Up Sessions

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular long-lasting hair removal options in the world today. Many men and women prefer laser hair removal over wax hair removal and other methods for its exceptional permanent hair reduction and its flawless results. In this procedure, done by an expert, a strong-intensity beam of light or laser is pointed at target areas where the laser destroys the hair present in the hair follicle, thereby stunting its growth forever. 

If you are someone who has already undergone a laser treatment or is pondering about how life would look post-treatment, then read on to find out how you can maintain the results of your laser hair reduction!

Immediate Post-care tips to follow after your laser hair removal at home:

• Use a cool compress to cool your skin down post-treatment. Since the laser can be very strong, it can cause the skin to heat up. Cooling it down with a cold cloth dunked in ice water or using a clean ice pack on your treated skin can do wonders to reduce pain and prevent swelling or redness.
• Clean your skin with only gentle soap products. Refrain from using anything harsh or heavily scented for the first 24 hours post-treatment. Also, avoid exfoliating during this time too.
• Only after 5 days of treatment can you begin exfoliating regularly to avoid the build-up of dead skin cells on your treated skin.
• Always make sure to protect your skin from the sun pre and post-treatment. This means that for 1-2 months after your treatment, you should actively avoid the sun and only step out once you have religiously applied sunblock! Make sure to also cover your skin to cause less sun damage to your skin.
• Don’t use tanning lotions or creams for a month after the treatment.
• Don’t shave for a few hours after the treatment and avoid shaving any skin that looks red, swollen or inflamed. You may notice some hair grow back in your first few sessions, however, this number will vanish once you complete your entire treatment.
• Avoid hair removal creams, tweezing, plucking and epilating and only use shaving as a hair removal option if necessary.
• Avoid using fragrances and deodorants for a few weeks post-treatment.
• Also, avoid using makeup on the treated area for the first 48 hours after treatment.

You must note that hair removal is not a one-time process and requires at least 6-8 sessions over several months to get 90% of hair permanently reduced. During this process, you will notice stubble and minor hair growth which can easily be shaved off or treated in the next session.

Once you have entirely completed your laser hair reduction treatment, you will have hair-free skin that will last months or even years. But, this procedure does not promise permanent hair removal so at some point, your hair will grow back. However, this new growth will be lighter, finer and lesser than its original form.
