Immediate aftercare: Dos and Don'ts

Immediately following your laser hair removal session, it's crucial to adhere to specific guidelines to maximise results and minimise potential side effects. Here’s what you should and shouldn’t do:

What to Do

  • Keep the treated area clean, cool, and well moisturised
  • Apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturiser or aloe vera as advised
  • Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher on exposed areas daily
  • Allow hair to shed naturally between sessions
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid friction and irritation

What to Avoid

  • Avoid sun exposure, sunbeds, and fake tan for at least 2 weeks
  • Do not use hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, or vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours
  • Avoid exfoliating, scrubs, retinol, acids, or active skincare products for 5–7 days
  • Do not wax, pluck, or thread hair between sessions (shaving only)
  • Avoid perfumed products and deodorants on treated areas for 24 hours

Understanding what's normal

It’s important to know what to expect in the days following your treatment to avoid unnecessary worry. Here’s a breakdown of what's considered normal and when you should be concerned:

What’s Normal

In the hours and days following your laser treatment, it’s common to experience:

  • Mild redness or warmth in the treated area
  • Slight swelling around the hair follicles (often described as a “goosebump” effect)
  • Temporary sensitivity or tenderness
  • Treated hairs appearing to grow before naturally shedding over the next 1–3 weeks

These reactions are normal and usually subside within 24–72 hours.

Simple aftercare routine for long-term results

To maximise long-term results and maintain healthy, radiant skin, we recommend the following aftercare routine:

Immediately After Treatment

  • Keep the area clean and cool
  • Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser or soothing aloe vera if needed
  • Avoid heat, exercise, and friction for the first 24–48 hours

Daily Care

  • Moisturise the treated area daily to support skin healing
  • Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ or higher to exposed areas, even on cloudy days
  • Wear loose clothing to minimise irritation

Between Sessions

  • Shave only — avoid waxing, plucking, or threading
  • Allow hair to shed naturally
  • Gently exfoliate after 5–7 days to help prevent ingrown hairs (as advised by your practitioner)

Lifestyle Tips

  • Avoid sun exposure, sunbeds, and fake tanning products
  • Avoid active skincare ingredients (retinol, acids) on treated areas until the skin has fully settled

Consistent aftercare supports optimal results, protects the skin barrier, and helps maintain smooth, healthy skin throughout your treatment course.

The ultimate benefit of proper aftercare

By following our aftercare advice perfectly, you'll experience maximum, long-lasting results with healthy, radiant skin. Proper aftercare allows the laser to work at its full potential, leading to more effective hair reduction across each session while protecting the skin barrier. This means fewer complications, reduced irritation, and smoother skin that heals beautifully – helping you achieve optimal results in fewer sessions while maintaining overall skin health.
