How should I care for my skin after a session?

On most body areas, no topical aftercare is necessary after a session. But keeping your body cool in the few hours after a session will help your skin come back to normal quickly. Once your skin looks and feels back to normal, feel free to resume your regular routine!

During and just after a session some minor amount of redness and follicular swelling is typical. This is a sign that the session was effective. We may be applying pure aloe to these areas as we treat them. Ninety percent of this redness should be gone within a few hours, and your skin should be completely back to normal by the following day.

When treating our client’s faces, more intense redness can be expected. This is related to the increased density of hair in the area. We will be applying aloe, or a polysporin cream, to these areas just after treatment. And your technician will give you further after care instructions if necessary.

Again, keeping your body cool until the redness has subsided will help your skin come back to normal quickly. But this is just about care for your skin, not about the effectiveness of the laser session. The laser will do its work no matter what!
