Can I scrub or exfoliate my skin after laser hair removal?

Question

I had my fourth full body laser session two weeks ago, and I'm planning on going to a Turkish bath where they scrub and lather the skin with a very hard loaf to exfoliate all dead skin and dirt (actually it kinda hurts), my question: is this okay? will it affect my laser results because I know I can't wax so I thought maybe this has the same effect am I right? Thank you very much

The question that you asked is it would affect the treatment of hair growth. It shouldn't, exfoliating is for the skin and does not go deep into the skin where hair follicles are located in the skin. Exfoliating right after laser hair removal can make the area more sensitive and red.
