Laser Treatment Aftercare

After a laser treatment, it is important to follow your practitioner’s instructions to support skin recovery and minimise side effects.

General aftercare guidelines:

Sun protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily.
Skin care: Keep the treated area clean and gently moisturised. Avoid harsh scrubs, exfoliants, or chemical peels for the duration recommended by your practitioner.
Avoid heat: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise that causes excessive sweating for 24–48 hours.
Do not pick: Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at the treated area, as this may increase the risk of irritation or infection.
Monitor your skin: Some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort is common for 24–48 hours. Contact your practitioner if you notice unusual pain, blistering, or signs of infection.
Follow-up appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up sessions to monitor progress and discuss further treatments if needed.

Important notes:

Recovery and skin response vary between individuals.
The above guidelines are general. Your practitioner will provide instructions tailored to your specific treatment and skin type.

Following these recommendations helps support safe healing and optimise outcomes. Always consult your qualified health professional if you have concerns after your treatment.
