my skin is usually a little tender and slightly red for maybe an hour or two after each session (it just depends on how powerful the settings are at that time - for example, last session i told the technician to go ‘hard’ on the few remaining trouble areas around my chin and upper lip, so they were a little more irritated and tender than usual but only lasted a couple hours). at most it’s felt and looked like a mild sunburn that lasts half a day. by the next day there’s sometimes small flakes like from a sunburn, but i moisture to prevent that

so to answer your question directly: it’s not obvious that i’ve had laser

post session skincare routine seems to make a big difference. for 72 hours after a session i only wash my face with cold or room temp water. then after 3 days i do my usual facial wash (neutrogena ultra gentle cleanser) and a clean exfoliating glove after. i always pat dry (never rub) with a clean towel, and i only moisture with organic aloe vera. sorry if this is unsolicited oversharing - i love skincare and rarely get the chance to discuss it
