Laser Hair Removal and Folliculitis Care
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways to achieve smoother skin, but patients sometimes worry about folliculitis, a mild irritation or inflammation of the hair follicles that can occur after treatment. At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester, NJ, Dr. Deborah Petrowsky follows careful protocols to help prevent and manage this condition, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
- Pre-treatment skin prep: Patients receive guidance on keeping the skin clean and avoiding products that may cause irritation before their session.
- Sterile technique: The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed, and sterile practices are used throughout the procedure to reduce bacteria exposure.
- Proper laser settings: Dr. Petrowsky adjusts energy levels and pulse durations based on hair type, skin tone, and sensitivity to minimize unnecessary stress on follicles.
- Cooling and soothing: Immediately after treatment, cooling measures and topical products are applied to calm the skin.
- Post-care instructions: Patients are advised to avoid hot tubs, tight clothing, or heavy sweating for a short period, as these can increase irritation risk.
- Follow-up support: Any early signs of folliculitis are promptly addressed with appropriate topical care or, if needed, medical treatment.
At Chester Skin & Wellness, laser hair removal is performed with both precision and patient comfort in mind, helping you enjoy lasting smoothness with confidence.
