1️⃣ Skin Sensitivity: During the laser procedure, the skin heats up and may be slightly irritated. This may cause itching.

2️⃣ Hair Root Damage: The laser targets the hair roots and the hair shedding process after the procedure may cause itching.

3️⃣ Dryness: The skin may lose moisture after the laser and dryness may cause itching.

4️⃣ Skin Reaction: Sensitive skin may experience a slight allergic reaction or temporary blisters after the laser.

5️⃣ Ingrown Hair (Folliculitis): After the laser, the hair may sometimes remain under the skin before shedding and this may cause itching.

What Should Be Done to Relieve Itching?
✅ Apply a Cold Compress → Applying cold with a clean cloth can soothe the skin.
✅ Use a Moisturizing Cream → Soothing creams such as Bepanthol, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast, aloe vera gel can be applied.
✅ Avoid Scratching → Scratching can increase irritation and make the skin more sensitive.

✅ Drink Plenty of Water → Increase water intake to hydrate the skin from the inside.

✅ Protect from the Sun → Sun exposure can increase itching and irritation, so use SPF 30+ sunscreen.

When Can Itching Be Dangerous?

???? If it doesn't go away for a long time (more than 3-4 days)
???? If there is severe redness, swelling or blisters
???? If the itching is accompanied by intense burning or pain

In such cases, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist. However, most cases of itching are mild and temporary, and will improve as the skin recovers. ????
