Hello,Yes, it is safe to use a facial mask and cleanse your face after laser hair reduction treatment providing you do not have any visible red, irritated or inflamed skin in the areas treated with the laser. Regards.
It is essential to shave the skin before laser hair removal. Otherwise, the laser will just singe the hair and not burn the "root" of the hair and your removal will not be permanent. You don't have to worry about a permanent "shadow". Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green
