How long after laser treatment must you wait before you shave

Answer Ideally you should wait at least 48 hrs after treatment before you shave because the area around treatment usually is red with some swelling which may feel like a mild sunburn. This feeling disappears after 24 to 48hrs.

Thereafter you could shave the area.

Make sure you don't start waxing, plucking, tweezing during a course of laser treatment as the laser needs the hair intact to help destroy the hair follicle.
