Laser hair removal is known for delivering smooth, long-lasting results—but how does it impact your skin’s natural oil production? At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky takes a comprehensive approach to laser hair removal, ensuring not only hair reduction but also the health and balance of your skin post-treatment.
While laser hair removal targets hair follicles, it can also influence sebum (oil) levels in treated areas—especially in zones like the face, back, or chest where oil glands are more active. Some patients notice a temporary change in skin texture or dryness due to reduced follicular activity, but this can be easily managed with the right care.
Here’s how we help protect your skin’s balance after laser hair removal:
-Evaluate your skin type and oil production before treatment
-Use laser settings optimized for minimal disruption to skin function
-Recommend gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers to maintain hydration
-Avoid harsh exfoliants or retinoids for several days post-treatment
-Apply soothing, barrier-repair creams as needed
-Encourage mineral-based SPF daily to prevent irritation or dryness
-Monitor for over-dryness in typically oily areas (like T-zone)
-Suggest adjusting your skincare routine seasonally after treatment
At Chester Skin & Wellness, our goal is smooth, hair-free skin that feels as good as it looks—without compromising your skin’s natural defenses. Let Dr. Petrowsky guide you to balanced, radiant results.
