In this era of modern time, the cosmetic procedure of laser hair removal, has become one of the most effective and famous option among the people who are fed up using temporary methods like shaving, waxing, and tweezing in order to get rid of unwanted hairs repeatedly. Laser treatment can actually reduce the growth of unwanted hairs successfully, unlike other temporary methods.

Now that you have completed the 1st session of laser hair removal procedure with us in Delhi. It’s quite normal to feel warm sensation similar to a mild sunburn. The treated portion can also look reddish, and the area around the hair follicle may look raised. These are some of the normal side effects which will disappear within 24-48 hours after each session. You’ll be noticing these side effects just for the first few sessions. As the treatment process progresses, the hair in the treated area will begin to thin out slowly. Therefore, the side effects will become much less noticeable after each laser session.

Given below are some easy after care process, follow them to make sure that treated part heals fully and quickly:

What You Need to Do for 24-48 Hours Immediately After Your Laser Session?

• Cover the treatment areas as much as possible
• Apply SPF50+ sunscreen lotion to the treatment areas that get exposed to UV light
• Do not apply make-up till you do not complete the whole laser sessions
• Use lukewarm water while bathing. Try to avoid hot as well as cold water for bathing.
• Apply only 100% aloe vera gel to your treatment area. Preserve the aloe vera gel in the refrigerated condition for the most effective outcomes. Else, use fresh aloe vera gel, because it is relatively more effective.
• You can also apply ice packs and cold compress for 10 minutes at least 3 times per day, in order to reduce discomfort because of heat. Before applying ice to your skin wrap it in a towel. Direct application of ice on your skin may induce more irritation.
• You need to wait for an hour before repeating the ice application to the affected portion. Don’t apply the ice pack for over 10 minutes. It may actually block the blood flow in the treatment area, and extend your healing time.
• Wear loose cotton clothes
• Keep the treatment area dry and clean
• Clean the treated area gently with mild soap. But, don’t rub your skin.
• Avoid using deodorants just in case if you have undergone treatment for underarms
• You must avoid doing any sort of physical exercise that induces excessive perspiration. Instead opt for walking only and don’t exert too much. Else, you’ll feel itching on the treated area.
• You also need to avoid the gym, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room as well as the swimming pool.
• Moreover, if you experience side-effects like prolonged redness, swelling, blisters, hypo pigmentation, and hyper pigmentation, contact your surgeon immediately.

What You Need to Do After 48 Hours in Between Your Sessions?

• Continue to apply SPF50+ sunscreen lotion to the treatment areas that get exposed to UV light. This lotion where are nourishing ingredients which helps the skin restore to normal as early as possible after this laser treatment.
• You need to continue to cover the treated areas as much as possible so as to avoid sun exposure. Some cosmetic surgeons may recommend preventing sun exposure for 6 weeks after the laser treatment. Furthermore, direct exposure to sunlight may actually irritate the treated area and increase side effects.
• Do not forget to inform your surgeon if you’re taking any medications during the course
• Even if hair starts to regrow in between the sessions, don’t choose shaving and tweezing.
• Do not apply any anti-tan cream, makeup, or beauty products like scrub to your treatment areas
• Moreover, exfoliation means wiping away the treated area with a clean damp cloth. Always exfoliate the treatment area 5 days after the laser treatment session, but not earlier, so as to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. Exfoliation helps in shedding process which will further breakdown the hair and eliminate it from underneath the skin.
• If blisters appear, don’t puncture them. You need to apply the ointment prescribed by your doctor for complete healing.
• Clean the treated area properly with the help of a mild cleanser for only 1-2 times per day and not more than that.
• After your very 1st laser hair removal session, your skin will actually become much more sensitive. It may even become dry. Therefore, you can apply moisturizers that are actually medically prescribed, to the area treated so as to reduce irritation. However only apply and don’t rub the skin.

You need to remember that whatever you do after your laser session is equally as significant as the preparation steps before the session. You should strictly follow the after-care steps as suggested by us without fail in order to prevent any adverse side effects there may be.
