With the gorgeous spell of hot weather last summer, at Imperio Laser Clinic we take a look at how you can look after your skin and whether Laser Hair Removal is a good idea when you are topping up your tan!
If you are getting Laser Hair Removal treatments during a hot spell of weather, it is essential that you look after your skin by using sunblock and avoiding sunburn. If you have recently had a bit of sunburn, you must tell your Laser Technician so we can make sure that we keep your skin safe and healthy.
Use Sunscreen
Always use a good sunblock, not only between Laser Hair Removal treatments, but at all times! We recommend that you use a sunscreen cream with at least SPF 50, and try to use a mineral sunblock that contains zinc oxide, which gives your skin stronger protection and is longer lasting.
If you have recently been sunburned, you should not have any Laser treatments until the skin has fully healed, this is because the Laser will apply extra heat to the skin and can cause further damage to the skin.
Avoid Sunburn
The UV rays in the sun can be damaging to the skin and should never be quickly followed by a Laser treatment. It is always best to wait until the skin has fully recovered until you get another laser session, meaning Laser Hair Removal results will be far less effective.
This is why it is essential to protect your skin at all times, wearing good sunblock or even avoiding sun exposure, if you are considering Laser Hair Removal treatments.
Tanning Products
There are numerous sun-free tanning products that do a great job. But these should also be avoided if you are considering Laser Hair Removal treatments, as they contain various chemicals and oils that can cause adverse reactions when Laser is applied to the skin. Please be honest with your Laser technician, so we can ensure your skin stays healthy and smooth!
