Laser Hair Removal Recovery

One of the reasons you may be considering laser hair removal is because of the pain and irritation from waxing and tweezing. So how does the Acclaim Nd-Yag 7000 compare?

Laser Hair Removal Recovery and Aftercare

Laser hair removal requires little to no downtime, and most people return to their normal routine right away. The treated skin may look slightly pink and feel a little like a mild sunburn for a few hours to a day, which is completely normal.

Right After Your Session

  • Apply a cool compress or soothing product if the area feels warm
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas and strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours
  • Do not scratch or exfoliate the treated area

In the Following Days

Over the next one to three weeks, treated hairs will appear to "shed" as they fall out. This is a normal sign the treatment is working — gentle exfoliation can help the process along once any sensitivity has settled.

Protecting Your Skin

Sun protection is essential after laser hair removal. Treated skin is more sensitive to UV, so apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid direct sun and tanning between sessions to reduce the risk of pigment changes.

When Will You See Results?

You will notice gradual thinning and reduction of hair over your course of sessions. Because hair grows in cycles, consistency between appointments is what delivers the smoothest, longest-lasting results.
