What should you do in Treatment Care ?

In this article, we will discuss IPL hair removal aftercare. During the procedure, Light energy is transferred through the skin's surface and is absorbed by the melanin present in the hair shaft. The absorbed light energy is converted to heat energy (below the surface of the skin), which disables the hair follicle preventing further growth, so as to achieve effective hair removal.While the process is effective, it requires careful treatment care to optimize results and minimize the potential side effects.

Immediate -Term Aftercare

①Cooling and Soothing Measures

After your IPL hair removal session, the treated area may be slightly erythematous (red) and sensitive. Applying a cold compress or an ice pack wrapped in a thin cloth for about 30 minutes after the procedure can help soothe the skin and reduce redness.

②Avoiding Sun Exposure

The treated skin becomes more susceptible to UV damage after laser hair removal. It is crucial to avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week post-treatment. If outdoor activities are unavoidable, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 or higher.

③Avoiding Irritants

Steer clear of harsh skincare products at least for a week before and after the treatment. These can cause additional irritation to the treated skin. Fragranced lotions and perfumes should also be avoided during the initial healing period. It is advised to opt for gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated without irritating it.

Medium-Term Aftercare

①Moisturization

Hydration of the treated area is imperative for preventing dryness and promoting optimal healing. Use a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizer to maintain the moisture levels of the skin. Moisturize the treated area twice daily, paying extra attention to any signs of dryness or flakiness. Well-hydrated skin is more likely to recover without complications.

②Gentle Cleansing

Cleanse the treated area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser to prevent infection .Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the area vigorously, as this may irritate the skin and result in delayed healing. Pat the skin dry with a clean, soft towel preferably a microfibre cloth rather than rubbing it to minimise friction and reduce the risk of irritation.

③Loose Clothing

Opt for loose, breathable, pure cotton clothing to prevent friction and irritation in the treated area. Tight clothing or even mixed fabric in certain instances can exacerbate sensitivity and may lead to discomfort during the healing process.

 Long-Term Aftercare

IPL hair removal typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results. Adhering to the recommended schedule and completing the full course of treatments is crucial for achieving lasting hair reduction. Immediately after you have completed the 8 weeks plan you should see a significant reduction in hairs within the treated area.
