Thank you for
your question ksran. I understand your concern. I recommend that my patients avoid heat exposure, strenuous exercise, and alcohol consumption for 24 hours after a laser treatment as these activities can bring blood to the skin and lead to redness. I recommend that my patients apply cold compresses to reduce redness and swelling. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Did you have Profactional for hair removal?? Regardless, if you have a reaction, see your specialist, they can easily prescribe 'emergency steroid' either tablets or ointments to subside your swelling. Ice for now as well as rest can help. Dr Davin Lim.
