Having hair removed from the body is a minor procedure that does not require much in terms of recovery time. It is a fairly quick procedure that leaves the body with soft, silky skin, free of unwanted hair. It is a procedure nonetheless and does require aftercare in order to ensure the skin remains healthy and smooth. Hair Removal Treatment in Wellesley MA requires four aftercare techniques.
Apply Aloe
During the first 24 hours, the skin will be extremely itchy and irritated. Applying aloe once home from the treatment will help to eliminate the itchiness and keep the skin cool. If aloe is not available, hydrocortisone cream also works well.
Use Ice if Needed
While aloe should do the trick for keeping irritated skin cool, it may not be quite enough for some people. Using ice is another option, since it will provide plenty of cold to help numb the skin. This will limit the amount of irritation the person feels.
Exfoliate Regularly
Remaining hair is going to start shedding. Exfoliating the skin will help the process along, and ensure the skin is smooth and healthy afterward. Using a loofah or washcloth is the best method, as neither are too rough and will not cause damage to the area.
Use Sunscreen Often
Someone with irritated skin should not be in the sun for too long. If they have to be, then sunscreen is definitely needed. Skin that just had hair removed can burn easily, and when it does, it will be extremely painful since the skin there is already sensitive. Using sunscreen, and lots of it, is the only way to help avoid this type of burn, aside from simply staying inside for a while, which often isn’t possible.
Hair Removal Treatment in Wellesley MA is a relatively quick and painless procedure. It does, however, require some aftercare when it’s completed. In order to recover properly from the treatment and ensure the skin is not completely irritated and sore, there are four steps people should take. Applying aloe, using ice, exfoliating carefully, and using sunscreen are all ideal methods for handling the skin after hair removal treatment. A&A Laser Hair Removal provides the treatment to anyone who wishes to have it done.
