I am getting my laser treatment every 15 days. Is it safe to use my facial with AHA AND BHA and Lactic acid 2 days after doing laser ? Or do I have to stop it? What are the side effects?
The laser hair removal technician told me to stop using retinol and AHA/BHA products 2 wks before and after laser. If I'm getting laser on my upper lip, can I still use these products on the rest of my face? Are there other skincare products that I shouldn't be using? Is benzoyl peroxide, Vitamin C + Ferulic acid ok?
Hi, i have recently purched the illuminage precise touch laser hair removal device from Sephora. The instructions state that i have to discontinue the use of all AHA/BHA chemical peels, Salicylic acid, glycolic acid & lactic acid products 2 weeks prior to treatment. However these products are a must to keep my skin from breaking out (especially my cheeks). I am only treating my chin/neck area, so do i have to discontinue the use of these products ONLY on my chin/neck, or over the full face?
I am a male 34 years. I started having monthly full body laser hair removal 4 months ago. I am noticing I have pimple breakout all over my body after each laser session and is getting worse. Doctor instructed to us Elica cream after laser treatment but still. I see mixed colored pimples white and red. The worst are on my legs and thighs (see photo). Im also using AHA 20% body lotion with little improvement.
I just had my first laser hair removal treatment done today on my jawline, chin, and upper neck. Am I allowed to use a toner that has mandelic acid in it? I'm aware you're supposed to discontinue the use of AHA products 7 days prior to the treatment, as it can cause irritation, but is it safe to use afterwards/in between treatments? Thanks!
