Many customers ask themselves:
\"Why can't I go out in the sun after laser hair removal?\"<\/strong>

Already 10 minutes of sun directly after the treatment<\/strong> can cause dark pigment spots.
The reason: the skin is irritated and sensitive after laser treatment - the skin's protective system is weakened, making it more susceptible to irritation. Sunburn, pigmentation disorders and irritation<\/strong> will.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Natural & artificial sun - What is dangerous?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><\/div>

Many people think that only real sunlight is problematic - but even artificial tan<\/strong> can damage the skin after laser treatment:<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Natural sun (UV-A & UV-B):<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div>

Causes sunburn, pigmentation spots and skin ageing. After the laser, even low levels of UV radiation can cause damage.

Solariums<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div>

Even stronger than natural sun - even short sessions can cause burns and permanent stains.<\/p>

Self-tanner<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div>

Do not contain UV radiation, but color the skin artificially. This makes it harder for the laser to recognize the hair root \u2192 Uneven results<\/strong>.<\/p>

Golden rule<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3><\/div><\/div>
