It may be advisable to avoid wearing mascara for up to two weeks after treatment. This includes any type of waterproof mascara, as it is more difficult to remove and may irritate the eyebrow. Lotions can be used after two days, but the direct area of the eyebrows and eyelids should be avoided.

When removing makeup, be sure to be gentle around the eyebrows and avoid rough, aggressive rubbing motions. Makeup tools are known to accumulate certain harmful bacteria. So it may be a good idea to buy new brushes and products to use after your treatment.

After the treatment, a healing ointment is applied to your skin. Some redness and swelling is normal. You will also notice some peeling of the skin over the next 3 to 5 days.

What are the side effects of laser treatment on eyebrow?

Laser eyebrow resurfacing can reduce the appearance of fine lines on the eyebrow. It can also treat loss of skin tone and improve your complexion if you have scars or sun damage. Laser resurfacing cannot remove excess or sagging skin. Understanding the specific techniques, risks and possible outcomes can help you decide if laser resurfacing is right for you.

Laser treatment can cause a variety of side effects, including:

Redness, swelling and itching. The treated skin may be irritated, swollen and red. The redness may be intense and last for several months. Worsening of a pre-existing skin condition, such as rosacea, may contribute to the redness.

Acne. Applying thick creams and bandages to your eyebrow after treatment can make acne worse or cause you to temporarily develop small white bumps (milia) on the treated skin.

Infection. Ablative laser resurfacing can lead to bacterial, viral or fungal infection. The most common infection is an outbreak of the herpes virus – the virus that causes cold sores. In most cases, the herpes virus is already present but dormant in the skin.

Skin color changes. Ablative laser resurfacing can cause the treated skin to become darker than before treatment (hyperpigmentation) or lighter (hypopigmentation), beginning a few weeks after laser resurfacing. Permanent changes in skin color are more common in people with darker skin.

Scars. Ablative laser resurfacing has a slight risk of permanent scarring.

Eyelid inversion (ectropion). In rare cases, ablative laser resurfacing performed near the lower eyelid may cause the eyelid to turn inside out and expose the inner surface.

Why is my eyebrow hair growing back after laser?

This is mainly due to the hair growth cycle. Hairs in the anagen, or active, phase will be affected by the laser. Hairs in the catagen, or dormant, phase will not be affected by the treatment and will grow back when they enter the anagen phase. Laser treatment only forces hair follicles to become dormant; it does not destroy the hair follicle.

The laser used during the treatment focuses a low-energy beam of light on the individual hair follicles under the skin. This energy absorbs the melanin (responsible for hair pigmentation) and heats the follicle to destroy its structure. Each hair’s growth cycle is different, which is why some hairs will not be damaged by the laser and will continue to grow.

It takes at least six treatment cycles to achieve significant hair reduction, with each session performed every four to six weeks. Even then, some hair may grow back and touch-up treatments should be performed every six to twelve months. The rate of hair regrowth depends on the individual, with various conditions influencing the rate of regrowth. These include skin tone, hair color and location. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, a 10-20% reduction in hair growth can be expected after each treatment. The hair that does grow back is usually much thinner because most of the melanin has been removed during the treatment, making it less visible.

Can eyebrow waxing be done after laser?

Waxing and plucking after laser treatment of the eyebrows, It is possible to use any type of waxing, plucking, etc. at any time 5 days or more after the laser treatment. The problem is redness or irritation directly related to the laser treatment itself.

Remember, if you are planning further laser treatments, do not wax or remove hair for several weeks prior to the treatment, as you want the hair to be processed in the follicle. You can shave or cut yourself with scissors.

The first few treatments may cause itching and swelling. It is very common to have redness as a side effect. Patients can use aloe vera to soothe it and reduce inflammation. Shaving will irritate the area, as it does with continuous laser treatments.

Can you use IPL on eyebrows?

IPL can be used on the eyebrows, forehead, ears, nose, chin, upper lip, upper cheeks, jaw line, entire face, chest, underarms, arms, shoulders, nipples, stomach, back, buttocks, legs, bikini line, hands or feet. IPL works best when the hair is growing. It is recommended that you do not shave for at least five days prior to treatment.

Without going into detail, IPL has a lot in common with laser hair removal. The difference is that IPL emits higher energies at optimal wavelengths, while laser hair removal emits a single wavelength. The burst of light is absorbed by the hair pigment, damaging the follicle and leaving you smooth and hairless in no time.

Can I use Vitamin C after laser?

Do not use anything abrasive on the treatment area for 3 to 5 days. Continue to take precautions against the sun and use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, preferably a mineral sunscreen.

Is Aloe Vera good after laser treatment?
