One of the most effective ways to permanently remove unwanted hair is through laser hair removal. It saves time, reduces irritation, and makes the skin smoother over time. However, what you do after your session is just as important as the treatment itself.
The Primelase Excellence system is recognised as one of the most powerful laser systems available and we are using it at MedLaser Clinics. It provides quick, comfortable, and effective outcomes on any type of skin. In order to get the most from your sessions, you can use the following easy guide to after-treatment care, which includes exercise, showering, exposure to the sun and pregnancy.
What happens to your skin after a laser treatment?
Laser hair removal involves the absorption of light energy into the follicles by the hair. This energy is then taken up by the pigment, which then converts it into heat and temporarily disables the follicle, so that it does not grow again. Due to heat, your skin can be a little warm, a little sensitive, or a little red temporarily after treatment. This is absolutely normal and usually settles within a few hours. Effective aftercare assists in relaxing your skin, avoiding irritation and ensuring your results remain smooth and long-lasting.
Is it possible to exercise after laser hair removal?
Exercise is not recommended within a 24-hour period of your session. Why? This is because exercise raises body temperature and makes one sweat. Exposure to heat and friction can irritate freshly treated skin and cause redness, discomfort, or even small bumps.
Whether you have recently had a laser of underarms, legs, bikini, or face, you need to rest your day out of the gym, running, or hot yoga. Light walking is fine although anything that makes one sweat heavily should be put off to the following day. Allowing your skin to rest will help it to remain calm and prevent unnecessary irritation.
Can You Take a Shower after Treatment?
Yes, you may shower, but be soft. Take warm water and not hot, avoid long, steamy showers in the first 24 hours. Hot water may cause them to be more sensitive and prolonged in the redness. Wash with a light fragrance-free cleanser. Use a towel to dry off rather than rubbing, and avoid scrubs, exfoliators, and loofahs for a few days. In case your skin is warm or a little bit irritated, it is possible to apply a cooling aloe vera gel or a light, fragrance-free moisturiser.
Sun exposure is an important factor
This is among the most crucial components of post-laser care. Following laser hair removal, your skin becomes highly sensitive to UV rays. Exposing the skin to direct sunlight may pose a threat of pigmentation, irritation, or uneven tone. Do not sunbathe or use tanning beds, or avoid prolonged sun exposure for two weeks following treatment. In case the treated area will be exposed, then use broad spectrum SPF 30 and above daily, even on cloudy days.
Wearing sunscreen not only helps to avoid complications but also makes sure your outcomes are smooth and even.
Laser hair removal and pregnancy
In case you are pregnant or you have intentions of getting pregnant, ensure that you inform your practitioner. Although no evidence has been found that laser hair removal is dangerous in pregnancy, the majority of clinics such as MedLaser Clinics discourage treatment during pregnancy. This is primarily because of the hormonal fluctuations that may influence the growth of hair and the sensitivity of the skin and because of the absence of large studies in clinical terms during pregnancy.
In case you get pregnant in the middle of treatments, you can safely skip your sessions until delivery. Your comfort and safety always come first.
