You will likely experience a temporary slight reddening of the skin or localized swelling during laser hair removal. You may feel like you have a bit of sunburn after surgery. Using an over-the-counter topical steroid cream is all you should need to remain comfortable. Remember to protect the skin with a SPF 30 sun-block. You may wear moisturizer and makeup formulated for sensitive skin, as desired. You may immediately return to your regular activities. You may notice hair shedding from follicles for a few days to a week after treatment, this is normal.
