If you experience any itching or tingling sensations after a laser hair removal treatment, it is important to take the necessary steps to soothe the skin and promote healing. Your doctor may advise you to apply a cold compress and moisturizers to the treated areas. If the irritation persists for more than 24 hours and you develop blisters, it is essential to contact your doctor immediately. It is important not to scratch the area, as this could lead to scarring.
Instead, using a product that will help soothe the skin and aid in the healing process is recommended. Sudocream is a cost-effective solution that contains zinc, which can be beneficial in this situation. Alternatively, you can combine it with After Inked lotion, which is used after procedures such as tattoo removal where the skin can become inflamed. After Inked is a high-quality formulation that will help promote rapid healing after laser hair removal. Generally, the skin should calm down within a week of the treatment.
However, if the itching persists, it is best to consult your laser specialist doctor or pharmacist. To help prevent this, the technician can apply a topical anesthetic or numbing cream prior to treatment in order to reduce any pain or irritation you may feel. Depending on your skin sensitivity, you may experience a tingling sensation in the treatment area or feel tender and swollen. The pain should subside shortly after treatment. Some people may experience mild side effects such as redness, swelling, and irritation which can usually be treated at home.
If any signs of a skin infection are present, it is important to see a doctor right away. This is because there have been no human studies conducted that prove the safety of laser hair removal during pregnancy.
