What will my face look like after laser hair removal? Laser hair removal is not only safe and suitable to permanently reduce hair growth all over your body, but also on the face. Great news for those suffering from excess facial hair or hormonal conditions, like hirsutism. It’s a safe and effective way to remove that embarrassing facial hair that you are often forced to shave daily. Which may even leave you with spots and irritation. With laser you can say goodbye to all that. And be confident in your skin every day without having to think about facial hair. If you’re considering laser hair removal for your face, you may be wondering what your face will look like after the treatment.
What will my face look like after laser hair removal?
Immediately after the treatment, your skin may be slightly red and swollen. This is a normal reaction and should subside within a few hours. You may also experience a mild tingling or stinging sensation, but this should also go away quickly.
In the days following the treatment, the hair follicles will gradually shed. This shedding process may cause your skin to look like it has stubble, but this is only temporary. It’s essential not to pick or scratch at the skin, as this can cause irritation and potentially lead to scarring.
After the shedding process, you should notice a significant reduction in hair growth. The treated area will be smoother and free of unwanted hair. You may still have a few stray hairs that were missed during the treatment, but these will get treated during your next session. Their presence is likely due to the fact that they weren’t in the appropriate growth stage where treatment is most effectivet.
Keep your skin safe after laser hair removal
To avoid irritation and side effects like pigmentation should avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks after laser hair removal. Sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation, which can be difficult to treat.
You should also avoid using any harsh or irritating skincare products on the treated area for at least 48 hours post treatment. As well as avoid any exercise that causes sweating. And of course no treatments of any type for at least 14 days post laser hair removal on the face.
