What can I expect after my laser hair removal procedure?

For a day or two afterward, the treated area of your skin will look and feel like it's sunburned. Cool compresses and aloe vera will help. If your face was treated, you can wear makeup the next day unless your skin is blistering. swelling, scarring, and blistering are very rare side effects. Wear sunscreen for the following month to help prevent temporary changes in the color of the treated skin. Most hair begins to shed 5 - 14 days post-treatment. Some may experience tiny white bumps that disappear after 2-3 days.
