Post-laser hair removal skin health question (hexbear.net)

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I have lots of little red dots and my skin is still irritated about a week after my first session. They look a little bit like in-grown hairs but also somewhat like post-laser erythema based on images. Wondering if I should ask the tech to do a lower power setting at my next appointment or what. My skin is also a bit sensitive and shaving is more painful and does not seem to do as much. I have dark hair and lighter skin.

The tech just gave me one sample pack of healing ointment. ;.; can you get that ointment over the counter? I do not want to look like this for 6+ weeks this year @.@

It's not OTC in my country (Germany). I think you need a prescription for corticosteroids in a lot of places. I got a prescription for a 30ml bottle once at the laser place and i've been using it ever since (i'm at my 8th session tomorrow), so it lasts a while.

Thanks for the advice! Will ask at my next appointment. A little disheartening to know it may take 8 or more treatments but none will be intense as this one (except maybe the 3rd with how follicle cycles go), but I am so thrilled to be done shaving in the near future!!
