Following a laser treatment, it's generally advisable to avoid skincare products containing harsh or potentially irritating ingredients that could exacerbate sensitivity. Common active ingredients to avoid post-laser treatment include:
1. *Retinoids (Retin-A, Retinol):* These can be too harsh for post-laser skin and may increase irritation or redness.
2. *Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs):* Glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and similar exfoliating acids can be too abrasive for recently treated skin.
3. *Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid):* While Vitamin C is generally beneficial for the skin, high concentrations or acidic forms may be too intense immediately after laser treatment.
4. *Benzoyl Peroxide:* This can be overly drying and irritating to sensitive post-laser skin.
5. *Fragrances and Essential Oils:* Products with added fragrances or essential oils may cause irritation or allergic reactions.
6. *Harsh Cleansers:* Avoid abrasive or exfoliating cleansers, as your skin will likely be more sensitive and prone to irritation.
Always follow the specific post-care instructions provided by our skincare professionals, as we can tailor recommendations based on the type of laser treatment and your individual skin needs. It's crucial to prioritize gentle and hydrating skincare during the initial healing phase.
