Laser Hair Removal and Skin Health in Chester
Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, laser hair removal isn’t just about smoother skin—it’s about maintaining healthy skin function, too. One of the most common concerns patients share with Dr. Deborah Petrowsky is whether laser hair removal affects the skin’s natural oil production or disrupts sebum balance in the treated areas.
While laser hair removal targets hair follicles, it does not directly damage sebaceous (oil) glands. That said, some people may notice temporary changes in how their skin feels—especially in sensitive areas or during seasonal transitions.
Here’s what you need to know:
-Laser treatment does not permanently affect sebum production, but mild dryness may occur post-session
-Follicular irritation can sometimes cause a temporary shift in oil balance, usually resolving quickly
-Gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers are key to maintaining skin hydration
-Avoid harsh exfoliants and active ingredients like retinol or acids for 48–72 hours after treatment
-Daily sunscreen use is essential to prevent pigmentation and protect newly treated skin
-Dr. Petrowsky provides personalized aftercare guidance, including recommended skincare products based on your skin type
