Laser Genesis Aftercare Advice 😊
Just had a Laser Genesis treatment at Samira Pro Beauty? Follow our easy aftercare tips to avoid irritation, reduce redness, and enjoy a healthy glow!
Introduction
Meet Alex, a busy Vancouver professional who recently tried Laser Genesis at Samira Pro Beauty. After the gentle laser treatment, he saw a healthy glow but noticed his skin felt a bit warm and sensitive. Like many of us, Alex knows that proper aftercare is key to keeping that glow and avoiding any problems later. In this guide, we’ll share simple steps to care for your skin after Laser Genesis.
Why Aftercare Is Important
Laser Genesis uses light to heat the deeper skin layers, gently stimulating collagen and renewal, which often leaves your skin slightly warm or pink for a few hours. Since your skin is more sensitive right after treatment, it needs extra care. Sun exposure can cause unwanted dark spots, so protecting with sunscreen is especially important. Think of aftercare as a safety net: it helps prevent irritation, prolonged redness, or pigmentation.
The Aftercare Advice
- 🌞 Apply Sunscreen Daily: Use a broad-spectrum SPF30+ sunscreen each morning to protect fresh skin
- 💧 Be Gentle with Cleansing: In the first 24–48 hours, wash with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water
- 💦 Moisturize and Hydrate: Apply a soothing moisturizer after cleansing and drink plenty of water. Hydrating your skin and body supports healing
- 🔥 Skip Heat and Sweat: No hot showers, saunas, or intense workouts for 1–2 days
- 🧊 Cool Compress if Needed: If your skin feels too warm or tingly, a cool, damp cloth can ease discomfort
- 💤 Resume Actives Gradually: You can return to makeup and normal products in 1–2 days, but wait 3–5 days before using strong actives (like retinol or acids)
Aftercare Schedule
Timeframe | Do | Don't |
---|---|---|
Day 1 (0–24h) | Gently cleanse face; apply moisturizer and sunscreen; use cool compress if needed. | Hot baths/showers, sauna or heavy workouts; exfoliation or harsh products. |
Days 2–3 | Continue gentle washing and moisturizing; stay hydrated; wear SPF if outdoors. | Sun exposure without protection, harsh scrubs or retinol, and very hot water. |
Days 4–7 | Resume normal skincare routine (can include actives); continue daily SPF. | Skipping sunscreen, ignoring any irritation, tanning, or sunbathing. |
1 Week + | Keep up regular skincare and sun protection; plan any follow-up sessions. | Expecting instant fixes, neglecting the treatment plan, and aftercare steps. |
How to Use These Tips
Make these simple steps part of your daily routine. For example, putting on sunscreen each morning and applying moisturizer after washing should become automatic habits. Samira Pro Beauty’s Skincare Rituals (like Laser Genesis, LED therapy, etc.) are designed to complement good home care. By following aftercare, you ensure your skin gets the full benefit of treatments. Remember, even though Laser Genesis gives an immediate glow, real collagen-building results come with time and care.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ❌ Skipping sunscreen: Skipping SPF after a laser can lead to UV damage and dark spots
- ❌ Using harsh exfoliants: Don’t scrub your skin or use acids/retinoids for a few days, as it can irritate healing skin.
- ❌ Heat and sweat: Avoid hot tubs, saunas, or intense workouts right after your session, or it may worsen redness.
- ❌ Expecting instant miracles: Laser Genesis gives an immediate glow, but deeper results need multiple sessions.
- ❌ Skipping follow-ups: Not completing the recommended series is like going to the gym only once.
