Right after your laser hair removal treatment, your skin would automatically feel fluffy, painful or uncomfortable to touch, would look red and swollen. The moment you arrived home, you have to continue putting a cold compress on the treated area. This is done to numb your skin so you won’t feel any pain and it will also reduce the swelling.

Do this for as long as necessary. 意義, for as long as you couldn’t feel any pain anymore. 通常, it takes 2-3 hours of doing this, before the pain would subside.
Within 24 hours after your treatment, you should avoid sweating. Do not exercise or do something strenuous.

But no waxing, 啾啾, plucking and bleaching until you have finished all the required treatments as prescribed by your laser specialist.
One more thing, it is very important to apply sunblock on the treated skin. Protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun by using sunblocks with higher SPF, 30 or more. Do not, under any circumstances, parade into the sun without any protection. There is a high possibility of burning, swelling or infection.
If you had done everything I’ve mentioned above, then rest assured you are doing well in taking care of your skin right after a laser hair removal treatment.
