Noticed small bumps or slight swelling around the hair follicles after your laser hair removal treatment?
This is called perifollicular oedema and it’s actually a good sign that the laser has effectively targeted the hair follicle and makes me smile!
What it may look like:
• Mild redness
• Tiny raised bumps around follicles
• Warm or slightly sensitive skin
This reaction is temporary and usually settles within a few hours to 48 hours after treatment.
Aftercare Tips
* Apply a cool compress if needed
* Keep the area moisturised
* Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas, gym) for 24–48 hours
* Wear SPF daily on exposed areas
* Don’t pick or scratch the skin
