Laser Hair Removal and Skin Hydration Explained
At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester Township, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky prioritizes not just hair removal—but the long-term health of your skin. One important factor we always consider is how laser hair removal may temporarily affect your skin’s natural barrier function and moisture retention.
Laser energy works by targeting the hair follicle, but it can also cause short-term disruption to the skin’s surface layer. This may lead to mild dryness or tightness, especially in sensitive areas like the face, underarms, or bikini line. With the right hydration strategy, however, your skin can remain calm, healthy, and glowing.
Here’s what you need to know:
-Laser treatment can cause minor, temporary disruption to the skin’s lipid barrier
-Moisture loss may increase slightly in the first 24–72 hours post-treatment
-Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer immediately after treatment and for several days following
-Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and aloe to restore balance
-Avoid hot showers, saunas, or exfoliating products that can strip the skin further
-Apply mineral-based sunscreen daily to prevent sensitivity or dehydration from UV exposure
-Dr. Petrowsky offers customized post-care guidance based on your skin type and treatment area
At Chester Skin & Wellness, we combine precision laser technology with skin-first care. Smooth skin should feel as healthy as it looks—hydrated, calm, and protected.
