5 SOS things to watch out for after laser
Alexandra Gianni · Aesthetician – Cosmetologist
Proper aftercare following laser plays a decisive role. The skin needs special care and high protection to avoid unwanted side effects.
There are 5 important steps we must not skip:
1. Sun protection
Sun protection with SPF 50 is the be-all and end-all for protecting sensitised skin after laser.
2. Hydration
Proper hydration plays a decisive role in the skin's resilience. Don't forget your moisturiser morning and night, at least 3 days before laser.
3. Avoid heat
While the skin is irritated after a laser session, avoid very hot water, hammam, sauna and intense sweating.
4. Proper preparation
One month before the session, avoid other types of hair removal such as waxing. Carefully trim the area to be treated 3 days before, always in consultation with your aesthetician.
5. Comfortable clothing
After laser, prefer comfortable, cotton clothes that don't press on the body.
