Can I sunbathe after laser hair removal?

During a laser hair removal treatment with the 3 most effective systems (Diode, Alexandrite, or Soprano), the skin is subjected to heating to achieve permanent hair removal. For this reason, at the end of the session, it is important to apply a suitable cream with soothing products and avoid sun exposure for at least the following 15 days.

When we talk about sun exposure after laser hair removal we are not only referring to lying on the beach, but to preventing the treated body parts from being affected by radiation. This can often occur unconsciously, such as walking down the street in a skirt or shorts in the case of leg hair removal, or even driving in the case of arm hair removal.

As an additional precaution, during the days following laser hair removal it is essential to use factor 50 sun protection and ensure you repeat the application as many times as necessary. These precautions also apply to medical laser hair removal, as well as other laser or pulsed light treatments such as CO2 laser facial rejuvenation or the removal of hyperpigmentation and spots.
