Is Bruising Normal After Laser Hair Removal?

Bruising after a laser hair removal session is definitely atypical; however, it is possible, especially if you are impacted by certain risk factors. Redness and swelling are more typical after laser hair removal, and are completely normal. The symptoms will usually subside after a day or two and don’t cause much discomfort. Bruising may be an indication of improper preparation for your procedure or may be caused by medication or sun exposure. Bruising will typically occur in more sensitive areas like the face, underarms, or bikini line.
Stay Away from NSAIDs Before Your Appointment
NSAIDs are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Common over-the-counter pain relievers like Advil, Aspirin, or Naproxen are examples of NSAIDs, and using them before your laser hair removal appointment can increase your risk of bruising. NSAIDs slow blood clotting, increasing your risk of bleeding and bruising in general.
It is important to note that laser hair removal is no longer painful, with most clients feeling slight discomfort at most. However, if you are sensitive to pain and want to be safe, use a pain-relieving medication like acetaminophen, as it will not interfere with bruising.
Sensitive Skin or Capillaries
Against, bruising is rare during laser hair removal; however, it is possible for those with sensitive skin and/or fragile capillaries to experience more bruising than usual. If you notice significant bruising after laser hair removal, have a discussion with your healthcare provider to determine if the underlying cause is skin-related.
Sun Exposure
Sun exposure is not recommended before or in between laser hair removal sessions because it can cause tanning. When your skin tans, the amount of melanin in your skin increases, and this can impact the laser’s ability to differentiate between your hair and skin pigment, which can increase your risk of bruising or burning your skin during sessions. Always try to avoid prolonged, direct sun exposure when getting laser hair removal. This is why starting in the winter months is always highly recommended.
