What will recovery be like from a session during my vacation?

The recovery is very light in most cases.  A little redness and mild swelling for a day or two after the treatment but not much else.   You will require several treatments though due to the nature of how laser hair reduction works, but they are spaced out a month or more depending on the area treated.

The recovery after laser hair removal is really no big deal.  You will have some redness of the areas for a few hours or so.  Over the next few days the hairs will start to fall out.  You may not want to have a laser hair removal treatment right before you go to a sunny destination as your skin may be sensitive and you should avoid the sun for a few days after the treatment.  However, other that than, there is no downtime with laser hair removal.

 

Good Luck.

An effective laser hair removal treatment will lead to redness, irritation and small bumps immediately around the hair follicles after the treatment. Redness and the "ant bite" bumps may persist for up to 2 days. In the period immediately after laser hair removal your skin will feel hot and irritated and it is advised cool the area with ice packs until irritation subsides. Wear sunscreen at all times before, during and after treatment if possible.
