The skin reactions disappear in a few hours to a few days. In the case of tanned skin, a crust can appear which will disappear leaving the skin temporarily lighter. The skin should be hydrated, cared for and protected from friction and especially from the sun while the redness persists.
The residual stem of the hair, which appears to be squeezed by the skin, will disappear in one to three weeks.
You will be able to appreciate and take pleasure in the softness of your skin before the next session, generally four weeks later (except for beards: three weeks, and the back/the legs, six weeks). The laser settings will be reassessed depending on the results, in order to optimize the efficacy of each session.
It is important to follow the protocol for the first three sessions, since excessive delays between these sessions could neutralize the effect of the laser, since the bulb and the hair will be dissociated after 6 to 8 weeks.
The third session should occur after the same interval of time as the second one, then further sessions can occur at longer intervals of time, depending on the extent to which the hair regrows. A shorter session can be planned before the summer for the finer details.
