Thank you for your question. I would recommend waiting at least 1 week before undergoing a laser hair removal treatment. It is important to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist for personalized advice.

Thank you for your question! Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin to stimulate collagen production. Typically, after a session, the skin may appear slightly red or pink and feel dry. You can undergo laser hair removal as early as 2-3 days after microneedling. Best of luck!

It is recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks after microneedling before undergoing laser hair removal. Laser treatment should generally not be performed on treated and healing skin. Seeking the care of a board-certified dermatologist is important.
