Post-Laser Body Care

Simple aftercare to keep treated skin comfortable.

After laser hair removal, your skin has had a lot of warmth directed at it. Aftercare is mostly about keeping things cool and calm.

Keep it cool

Lukewarm showers, no hot tubs or saunas, and gentle movement rather than intense workouts for a day or two.

Keep it simple

Fragrance-free moisturiser or aloe. No scrubs, retinoids or strong acids on the area for a few days.

Keep it covered

Daily SPF on anything exposed. Sun protection is essential throughout your series.

Expect shedding

Over the next couple of weeks, treated hairs may appear to grow before falling out. This is normal — don't pluck them.
