What to do, and what to skip, after a laser session at Sky High Spa in Kamloops.
Aftercare
After your session
- Some redness or warmth on the area is common afterwards and usually settles within a few hours.
- For a day or two, skip hot baths, saunas, hot yoga and hard workouts, and do not scrub the area.
- Protect the area from the sun between sessions.
- Shaving between sessions is fine. Treated hair can seem to keep growing for a week or two and then shed.
