Ever tried squeezing in a gym session after your laser appointment… only to end up red, itchy, or feeling like your skin’s on fire?
When you sweat after a laser session, that combination of heat and friction can stir up irritation, inflammation, even breakouts.
Laser works by creating controlled heat in your hair follicles, so even if your skin looks calm, it’s still a little warm beneath the surface. Give it time to cool before getting hot and sweaty again (literally).
If you love the gym, yoga, saunas or any high-intensity workouts, this one’s for you. Swipe through to learn exactly what happens beneath your skin when you sweat after laser and what you can do to protect your results (without giving up your workouts).
