Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted hair long-term, but how you care for your skin after each session plays a big role in your final results. At Self Aesthetics, we specialize in laser hair removal in Winnipeg, and we always emphasize the importance of proper aftercare to protect your skin and avoid irritation.

Here are the essential skincare tips to follow after your laser treatment.

Avoid Sun Exposure After Treatment

Your skin will be more sensitive after a laser session, especially in the first 48 hours. Direct sun exposure can cause irritation or increase the risk of pigmentation changes. If you’re planning to be outdoors, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and wear protective clothing to shield treated areas. This is especially important for exposed areas like the face, arms, or legs.

Keep Skin Cool and Hydrated

Laser treatments can create a mild warming sensation or redness, similar to a sunburn. To soothe the area, apply a cool compress or use an aloe vera gel to reduce inflammation. Be sure to drink plenty of water and moisturize daily with a fragrance-free, gentle lotion to support the healing process.

Skip Harsh Products and Exfoliants

Avoid scrubs, retinol, glycolic acid, and other exfoliants for at least a week post-treatment. These can irritate freshly treated skin and delay healing. Stick to mild, non-active cleansers and moisturizers until your technician advises you to resume your regular routine.

Why Proper Aftercare Matters for Laser Hair Removal Winnipeg Clients

At Self Aesthetics, our laser hair removal Winnipeg clients often ask how to get the best results—and the answer always includes aftercare. When you follow our post-treatment guidelines, you reduce your risk of ingrown hairs, breakouts, or sensitivity. You’ll also help your skin heal faster and maintain that smooth, even texture for longer.

Skipping aftercare or using the wrong products can lead to irritation, redness, or uneven results. Our team provides customized instructions after each session to help you stay on track.

Be Gentle with Treated Areas

For the first 24–48 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, heavy workouts, or anything that might cause excessive sweating. Friction, heat, and tight clothing can aggravate the skin. Allow it time to breathe and heal.

Also, avoid waxing or plucking between sessions—shaving is the only recommended hair removal method during your laser treatment plan.
