Facial care after laser hair removal

Proper skin care after hair removal not only maintains its health but also prevents dehydration and premature aging. Read about the necessary post-procedure care in our article.

Side effects of laser hair removal

Skin rash, erythema, and even burns and pigmentation are phenomena that can occur with the incorrect choice of hair removal method.

Incorrect determination of skin type and incorrect settings of the device also affect the skin’s reaction.

These outcomes are possible if hair removal is done in a so-called “home salon” or by beginner practitioners who are just starting in this field.

If you choose specialists with confident knowledge and experience, like those at LaserVille, your comfort is guaranteed from all sides.

This means:

1. Settings for your skin type guarantee maximum impact on the follicle;
2. Irritation and other side effects are excluded;
3. The specialist provides care recommendations specific to your skin type.

As for sterility, there are no questions – we repeat the disinfection of the Moveo nozzle in your presence, and the reception room “breathes cleanliness.”

Skin care after hair removal

Skin care means following all the precautions and advice we provide you before the hair removal procedure and reminding you about them after the session.

Let’s list them once again just in case:

1. When scheduling a procedure with the dynamic Motus AX laser, ensure that you can avoid active tanning for 3 days BEFORE and AFTER the procedure.
2. Do not use alcohol-containing lotions and tonics for 1-2 days before visiting the salon.
3. Use a new razor to avoid even minimal skin irritation before the procedure.
4. Do not massage the skin, take hot baths, or visit a sauna for three days after hair removal.
5. Always protect your skin from the sun and moisturize it.
6. On the day of hair removal, it is advisable to wear loose clothing made of natural fabrics to minimize friction and avoid irritation.

Regarding the terms of intensive protection we mentioned: they are valid for the Motus AX laser. For diode and regular alexandrite lasers, the skin protection time may be longer – up to 14 days.

Features of facial skin protection

The delicate skin of the face is often exposed to sunlight. The effects of wind, dust, and other environmental factors also play a role. Therefore, protecting the face requires more care than, for example, the hands or legs.

What do we recommend?

After the session, we apply panthenol to soothe the dermis. From there, you take care of it using modern protective products, such as those from Alissa Beauté. Several lines of products from this Italian manufacturer are available in our salons.

So, what is ideal for the post-hair removal period:

1. Regardless of the season, after the procedure, the face should be treated with an SPF product. The manufacturer offers two options – SPF50 and SPF30. Our specialists will advise which one is suitable for your skin type. By the way, using SPF is a beneficial habit for your skin even if you haven’t had hair removal.
2. CLEANSING MOUSSE. By choosing this, you get maximum gentle and thorough care. The product intensely hydrates your face, leaving no feeling of tightness or dryness.
3. COMFORT EYE CREAM for the skin around the eyes. It’s used for sensitive skin. It soothes, moisturizes, and even smooths out fine lines. Its action also reduces puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.
4. SILKY CREAM for moisturizing and soothing. This is a super light texture, nourishment, and protection from irritation even for hypersensitive skin.

You can also use the VITAL FACE SCRUB to remove dead cells and make the skin more radiant.

Natural oils, UVA and UVB filters, and active ingredients in these products preserve your skin’s youth and prevent the development of diseases.

Take care and love yourself.
