Laser hair removal is a fantastic way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin—but the key to great results lies not just in the treatments themselves, but in how you care for your skin between sessions. Proper maintenance helps maximize your results, prevent irritation, and keep your skin healthy.
If you’re undergoing laser hair removal in Temecula or Murrieta, here are the best tips to maintain your progress between appointments.
1. Shave, Don’t Wax or Pluck
Because laser targets hair follicles, it’s important to keep the hair intact between sessions. That means:
- Shave the treatment area regularly to keep skin smooth without removing the root.
- Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading, which remove hair from the follicle and can reduce laser effectiveness.
2. Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliation helps prevent ingrown hairs and keeps your skin fresh. But be gentle!
- Use a mild exfoliating scrub or a soft brush 2–3 times a week.
- Avoid harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants right after treatment to prevent irritation.
- Always moisturize after exfoliating.
3. Keep Your Skin Moisturized
Hydrated skin heals faster and tolerates laser better.
- Apply a fragrance-free, soothing moisturizer daily.
- Look for ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, or chamomile.
4. Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Sun exposure can cause complications post-laser and increase the risk of pigmentation changes.
- Avoid direct sun exposure on treated areas for at least 2 weeks before and 3 days after each session.
- Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily.
- Wear protective clothing when outdoors.
5. Follow Your Provider’s Aftercare Instructions
Every client’s skin is different, and your provider will give you personalized guidance on caring for your skin between sessions.
- Ask about products or routines tailored to your skin type.
- Report any unusual redness, swelling, or discomfort.
6. Stay Consistent with Your Appointments
Laser hair removal works best on hair in the active growth phase. Skipping or delaying sessions can impact results.
- Stick to your provider’s recommended schedule.
- This keeps your treatments effective and your skin smooth longer.
