Laser after care

[sid104]

Its my 2nd day after my first laser session on face.my chin area got little burned with the laser assuming that it was not done by doctor himself but his student.when do i notice shedding of hairs and how do i know its working or not

Aloe vera is supposed to be good. Stay out of the sun for up to a week too (or longer if you want next laser to work). Shedding might be expected anything from 2-4 weeks after treatment and you might not notice much until after the 2nd or 3rd treatment. Definitely DO NOT tweeze, pluck, pull or wax any hairs.

That's from my experience anyway.

Great advice here from Joanne

I would add make sure you wear a high level sunblock to avoid getting burnt...I have found shedding can occur from 7 days...carefully check your face and then exfoliate and check again...do it every few days and you may notice some, keep at it and very soon you will see the difference as your shadow starts to fade
