Can you put deodorant after laser?

After undergoing a laser hair removal procedure, especially in the underarm area, one common question you may ask is whether you can apply deodorant after laser?  It’s essential to follow aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure optimal healing and to avoid any irritation or discomfort. Let’s clear up this concern for you once and for all.

Can you put deodorant after laser?

Typically, it’s recommended to avoid applying deodorant immediately after laser hair removal. This is because your skin may be sensitive and more prone to irritation following the procedure. And many deodorants, particularly those containing fragrance or alcohol, can further irritate the skin.

Ideally, you should wait at least 24 hours after your laser hair removal session before applying deodorant. This waiting period allows your skin to recover and reduces the risk of any adverse reactions.

Which deodorant is best after laser hair removal?

When you start using deodorant again, opt for products that are alcohol-free and fragrance-free initially to minimize potential irritation. Not only that but it will be less likely to cause congestion and blocked pores in the skin, that could lead to the formation of skin tags. As your skin heals and returns to its normal state, you can gradually reintroduce your regular deodorant.

Don’t be shy to ask for aftercare if unsure
