Can You Wear Makeup After Laser pigmentation removal?

Good looking skin is everybody's dream. Any disorders that damage the natural beauty of the skin can pull you back from this dream. Skin pigmentation is such a skin disorder that makes your skin lose its natural smoothness and attraction.

There are several home remedies and over the countermeasures available. However, none of them provide a permanent result. A laser pigmentation method is proved to be effective in reducing the visible signs of freckles, sun spots, age spots, etc., from your face and body. 

What is Laser pigmentation removal?

Laser pigmentation removal is the procedure of removing pigmentation and redness using a laser. This procedure is also known as laser skin rejuvenation. The laser is targeted directly on the pigmented lesion in the skin. These pigmented lesions then absorb this laser beam in the skin, thus shattering them into tiny fragments, and the body's natural mechanisms clear away the pigmentation, thus leaving the skin with an even tone and complexion. 

Can You Apply Makeup After The Procedure?

People often have a query on using makeup after a laser skin rejuvenation treatment. Experts recommend that it is best to keep your skin makeup-free for 7 to 10 days after the treatment. This is because the procedures have created microscopic wounds in the layers of the skin where the imperfections lay. It will take time to heal these wounds. Using makeup immediately after the treatment can slow down the healing process.

You can start using basic foundations after 10 days of treatment. Some might experience peeling. So, it is best to wait until the skin stops peeling before applying a foundation. However, it is vital to apply moisture in the treated area, as it can prevent forming scabs and fasten the healing. 

There are a few things you can do to take care of your skin after getting the treatment. They are:
  • Check for reactions
  • Avoid sunburn
  • Minimize redness
  • Reduce swelling
  • Use moisturizer
  • Avoid topical medications & makeup

Laser treatments are effective for eliminating imperfections of the skin. But, just like every other medication, post-treatment care is essential for long-lasting results. Laser treatments, along with daily skincare routine using the right products, can keep those imperfections away from you for years.
