After the treatment, clean up the treated area gently with water to wash out the gel, do not rub and use soft towel to dry that area. There might be little bit redness, swelling and itching on the treated area immediately after treatment for half an hour or so that is a normal reaction. Soothing cream should be applied to reduce the burning sensation, redness and swelling if any. We are using lacto calamine lotion for this purpose and advise the patient to stand in front of AC for 5 to 10 minutes immediately after the treatment to cool down the treated area. Sunscreen lotions should be applied on the treated area or limiting sun exposure is always a good idea to avoid sunburns. Facial or massage is not allowed for two days after every sitting to avoid skin peeling. Presently treated hair will grow up slowly and will shed off after 10 to 14 days. Next sitting can be given after 3 to 4 weeks. In between sittings you should not wax or pluck your hair. Yes, shaving is allowed because an intact black hair shaft is required to carry the laser energy to the hair follicles
