Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to plan your whole life around your laser hair removal appointments? The good news is, you can actually schedule your treatments during the fall or winter seasons. That way, your skin has time to fully heal before summer arrives. No more stressing about keeping your freshly treated skin out of the sun!
Conclusion
It’s generally advisable to wait a few hours after treatment before applying sunscreen to allow the skin to recover. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
Wait at least 24 hours before exposing treated areas to direct sunlight. Cover the skin with clothing or sunscreen to protect it from UV rays.
If you experience redness, swelling, or unusual pigmentation changes, consult your technician or dermatologist promptly for appropriate guidance and care.
It’s best to avoid tanning beds altogether, as they can exacerbate skin sensitivity and increase the risk of adverse reactions post-treatment.
Continue to protect your skin from sun exposure for at least one to two weeks following your final treatment session to support optimal healing and long-term results.
