Pre-Treatment
Laser Hair Removal Procedure
Post Treatment
What can you expect after laser hair removal?
After the Laser Hair Removal procedure, no medications or bandages are necessary. You
may notice some redness and swelling for the first few hours. Also, stinging may occur for
the first 24 to 48 hours. Some people experience a slight crusting of the skin. If crusting
occurs, keep the area moist with hydrocortisone 1%.
Avoid exercise and exertion for the first 24 hours. Perspiration from exertion may increase
irritation caused by the laser.
Avoid exposure to the sun for 2 weeks after treatment. After this period, make sure you
apply sunscreen whenever you're in the sun. Avoid tanning booths — the ultraviolet light
damages the skin.
Don't wax or pluck hairs between treatments.
Don't rub or scrub the treated area. You should gently wash the area with soap and water.
What are the risks of laser hair removal?
Complications from Laser Hair Removal are rare.
Side effects from laser hair removal include, but are not limited to:
Darkening of the skin (hyperpigmentation) or lightening of the skin (hypopigmentation).
These are both usually temporary conditions.
Crusting or scabbing. If this occurs, it's temporary.
Hair changes. New hair growth may be finer and lighter in color. In some cases new hair
may grow in areas adjacent to the treated areas. This can be successfully treated with
additional laser treatments.
Logical Laser will discuss how these risks could apply to you during your consultation.
Understanding what's involved in Laser Hair Removal and weighing the benefits and risks
can help you decide if this procedure is your best option for your long-term hair removal.
