Laser aftercare guide

Good aftercare helps you get the most from your treatment. Here is the general advice we give. Always follow what the doctor tells you for your own skin.

Before a laser session

• Shave the area a day before (don't wax, thread or bleach for a few weeks before).
• Avoid sun tanning and self-tan for two weeks.
• Come without makeup, deodorant or creams on the area.
• Tell us about any new medicines, especially antibiotics or acne tablets.

After a laser session

• Mild redness or warmth for a few hours is normal. A cool compress helps.
• Use a gentle moisturiser and sunscreen every morning.
• Skip hot showers, steam, the gym and swimming for 24 hours.
• No scrubs or peels on the area for a week.

After a chemical peel

• Some flaking or tightness for 2–3 days can happen. Don't pick the skin.
• Wash with a mild cleanser and keep the skin moisturised.
• Stay out of direct sun for a week.
