Answer: Am I supposed to get ingrown hair coming out two days after first session for Brazilian hair removal?
Hydrocortisone cream helps a lot with itchiness and perifollicular erythema and inflammation for the first 24 hours after laser hair removal. It calms the treated skin down and leaves the skin less irritated.Good luck and best results!
Thank you for your question. There is no issue with using lotions or oils before laser hair removal treatment. Your treating physician should be cleaning the skin prior to treatment and this will removal any residual lotion or oil. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. It is okay to use lotion 2 days after treatment if you do not have any skin irritation. If there is irritation it is best to wait till it subsides before applying lotion. Best of Luck!
