What To Do After Your IPL Treatment

After you have your IPL hair removal treatment, there are several things you should do to minimize the chances that you’ll experience scarring or a change in skin tone. First, the area may be irritated or feel like sunburn. This is normal and usually abates after a few hours. Check with your doctor, but most advise you to use an Aloe Vera lotion to help your skin heal. For one month after the procedure, also make sure to avoid exposure to the sun. This reduces the chance that you’ll have the appearance of dark or light spots. Also take care not to pick, rub, or scratch the area of skin you had the procedure done on. This could cause you not to have the best results from the procedure at best and at worst could cause scarring in the area.
