Laser Hair Removal Aftercare Instructions
Congratulations on completing your laser hair removal session at Farashe Med Spa. For the best results and to ensure a smooth recovery, please follow these aftercare instructions:
Immediately After Treatment:
Redness and Swelling: It's normal to experience some redness and swelling around the treatment area, similar to mild sunburn. These symptoms should subside within a few hours to a few days.
Cool Compress: Apply a cool compress or aloe vera gel to soothe the treated area if it feels uncomfortable.
First 24-48 Hours:
Avoid Heat: Skip hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms to prevent further irritation.
Sun Protection: Protect the treated area from direct sunlight. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen and cover the area when outdoors. Avoid tanning beds.
Gentle Skincare: Use gentle, fragrance-free products on the treated area. Avoid any products that may irritate the skin, such as retinoids and exfoliating acids.
For the Next Week:
No Exfoliating: Do not scrub or exfoliate the treated area for at least one week. Allow the skin to heal naturally.
Avoid Plucking or Waxing: Shaving is fine, but avoid any hair removal methods that pull the hair from the root, as this can interfere with your treatment results.
General Tips:
Moisturize: Keep the skin moisturized with a gentle, non-comedogenic lotion to promote healing.
Makeup: If the treated area is on the face, you may apply makeup the next day, provided there is no blistering or significant irritation.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps your skin heal better.
When to Contact Your Provider:
If you experience unusual symptoms, such as blistering, excessive redness or swelling, or signs of infection, contact [Your Clinic's Name] immediately for advice.
Expected Results:
Some hairs will shed in the first few weeks post-treatment. It may take several sessions to achieve desired hair reduction.
Your next session should be scheduled based on your treatment plan to ensure optimal results.
