What to pay attention to after laser hair removal
2024-12-24
Laser hair removal currently uses two methods:
Diode hair removal is relatively more commonly used, and there are precautions before and after the operation. Before surgery or laser hair removal, patients are required to remove the local area that needs hair removal relatively clean, so that when laser or photon hair removal is performed, better results can be achieved.
Because whether it is diode laser hair removal or IPL hair removal, the ultimate goal is to destroy the hair follicles so that the hair will not grow again.
Laser hair removal will not completely destroy these hair follicles at one time. Before the operation, it is required to remove the hair locally to make the laser area clean.
After hair removal, some people may experience local redness and swelling, light erythema, or mild redness and swelling, which requires about half an hour of cold compress. After cold compress, depending on the specific situation, you can also apply some anti-inflammatory or anti-allergic ointment locally, and spray soothing liquid.
Precautions after hair removal
After laser treatment, some hair follicles will be swollen, which is normal and can be relieved by local ice compress. After about 1-2 hours, it will gradually get better. Some people will have redness, which is also normal and can be relieved by ice compress.
Most people do not have obvious abnormal feelings and have no impact on daily work and life. After laser hair removal or IPL hair removal, slight erythema, mild pain or itching will appear locally, which is a normal reaction. Avoid taking a hot shower or scratching with your hands, which may aggravate the reaction and cause aggravated local inflammation and infection. Do not scratch the local area, which will be relieved after one day.
Post-hair removal care
The first is sun protection. Whether it is laser hair removal or photon hair removal, it is very sensitive to the sun. During the treatment, you must strictly protect yourself from the sun, and it is best not to be exposed to direct sunlight.
The second aspect is moisturizing and proper skin care. After the hair removal treatment, the skin is dry at first and has a certain sensitivity to the surrounding environment. At this time, you should pay more attention to moisturizing the hair removal area. Generally, you can use ordinary moisturizing cream or moisturizing lotion.
The interval between each hair removal is preferably more than 3 months. Wait for all the hair to grow out again. When the color, density and length are relatively stable, you can proceed with the next treatment.
