What care should be applied after hair removal

18 Dec, 2024 3:12pm

If allergic reactions occur during hair removal using hair removal cream, it is recommended to apply anti allergic medication. However, if hair removal is done through laser, it can cause damage to the skin and have a permanent effect. Therefore, no special care is needed after laser hair removal, and the affected area will gradually return to normal after 3-5 days.

1、 Principle of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is a safe, fast, and long-lasting hair removal technique. The principle is based on the selective photothermal dynamics principle. By adjusting the laser wavelength, energy, and pulse width reasonably, the laser can pass through the surface of the skin to reach the root hair follicles of the hair. The light energy is absorbed and converted into thermal energy that destroys the hair follicle tissue, causing the hair to lose its regenerative ability while potentially damaging surrounding tissues and causing mild pain. After hair removal, there are no side effects. Avoid sun exposure for 3 months to 6 months after hair removal treatment. During and after treatment, there may be slight redness, skin sensitivity, and a feeling of heat or itching. If you feel pain, apply ice to relieve it. Avoid hot water washing and vigorous scrubbing of the treatment area. After waiting for this period of time, there won't be any problems.

2、 Apply erythromycin ointment

After laser hair removal, patients can apply erythromycin ointment or aureomycin ointment. Although the patient has applied ice point hair removal, the local temperature has already decreased and will not cause epidermal erythema or blisters, there is still a certain temperature in the area. If there is still slight pain, ice compress can be applied. If the local redness and swelling are quite obvious, it is recommended to apply erythromycin, and after 2-3 hours, ice cream can be applied. Usually, after laser hair removal, it is necessary to apply ice for 15-20 minutes, and patients need to take sun protection measures. After 2-3 days, skincare products can be applied normally, and sunscreen can be applied to the face, lips, hands, and arms. Usually, after 1-1.5 months, a second hair removal can be done.

In summary, regardless of the hair removal method, it will cause varying degrees of damage to the hair follicles, so it is necessary to perform soothing and sensitive work on the skin. Wipe dry the water after washing the skin with clean water, and then spray it with natural mineral water spray. On the one hand, it can soothe and calm the skin, on the other hand, it can replenish water for the skin. If you feel pain or see red skin after hair removal, you can soak a cotton pad in mineral water and apply it to the affected area to alleviate the discomfort after hair removal.
