Post-Laser Aftercare - Pamper Your Skin Back to Health

By Evon Low on Apr 20, 2024

Laser treatments can be transformative, addressing concerns like pigmentation, rejuvenation for brighter and smoother skin, and even wrinkle reduction. However, they can also leave your skin feeling tender and sensitive. Don't worry, a little TLC can go a long way in promoting healing and minimizing discomfort. Here's your guide to post-laser aftercare, featuring products to use at home alongside the expertise of Glomax Aesthetics!

Gentle Cleansing is Key

After a laser treatment, your skin needs a break from harsh products. Opt for lukewarm water and a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser. Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing.

Soothe and Heal with SOS Soothing Treatment

Try the SOS Soothing Treatment offered by Glomax Aesthetics. This treatment is designed specifically to address the needs of post-laser or sunburn skin. It helps to calm and restore, soothe and heal, and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. The treatment utilizes Abyssine® 657 and calendula oil to reduce irritation and discomfort, promote optimal soothing and healing, and help maintain a healthy skin defense system.

Sun Protection is a MUST

Laser treatments make your skin extra sensitive to the sun. Protect yourself with a broad-spectrum sunscreen like our GLOMD UV+ Sunscreen SPF 60 PA+++. Apply liberally every two hours, and even more frequently if you're sweating or swimming.

Keep Skin Moisturized

After laser treatments, combat dryness and strengthen your skin's barrier by using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer formulated for post-laser care. Apply it generously throughout the day, keeping your skin hydrated and comfortable. Look for moisturizers containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which offer specific benefits for post-laser skin.

Apply Recovery Cream

In addition to a moisturizer, consider incorporating the GLOMD Soothing Repair Cream into your routine. This cream is packed with ingredients that not only help to hydrate the skin, but it also helps promote skin healing, reduce inflammation, irritation, hydrate dry skin and reduces scar tissue.

Extra Aftercare Tips

• Avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours.
• Don't pick or scratch at any treated areas, as this can lead to scarring.
• Skip harsh skincare products like scrubs, retinols, and AHAs until your skin recovers.
• Skip makeup, let your skin breath while it heals.
• Get enough sleep, aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your skin to heal and recover optimally after a laser treatment.
• If you experience any unusual swelling, redness, or discomfort, contact your dermatologist.

By following these aftercare tips and incorporating the recommended products for at-home care, you can help your skin heal quickly and minimize any post-laser discomfort. Remember, pampering your skin after a laser treatment is an investment in your long-term results!
