Skincare Routine After IPL Hair Removal in Pakistan

If you’re using IPL hair removal at home, your results don’t end when the session is over. In fact, what you do after your treatment can directly impact how effective your results are—and how your skin heals.

In Pakistan’s climate, where heat, humidity, and sun exposure are daily factors, a thoughtful post-IPL skincare routine is essential to keep your skin calm, protected, and glowing.

At The Lux Skins, we not only provide premium IPL hair removal devices, but we also help our customers build smart, practical routines to maximize results—safely and comfortably from home.

Why Aftercare Matters After IPL

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments work by sending energy into the hair follicle to reduce regrowth. That energy also creates heat in the skin, making it temporarily more sensitive.

Without proper aftercare, you risk:

  • Redness or inflammation

  • Skin dryness or flaking

  • Hyperpigmentation (especially on melanin-rich skin)

  • Slower or uneven results

Your skin needs hydration, barrier support, and UV protection to recover fully and respond optimally to your treatment.

Step-by-Step Skincare Routine After IPL Hair Removal

This routine is tailored for daily use in Pakistan, where hot weather, pollution, and strong UV make gentle, smart skincare especially important post-IPL.

Step 1: Soothe and Calm (Right After Treatment)

Immediately after your IPL session, apply a cooling, anti-inflammatory serum to reduce heat and support healing.

Recommended Product:
Aloe Vera Calm Repair Serum

  • Calms redness and irritation

  • Supports hydration

  • Lightweight, non-sticky finish

When to Apply:
Right after your session, and again at night if skin feels warm or tight.

Step 2: Avoid Active Ingredients (For 48 Hours)

After IPL, avoid using:

  • Retinol or retinoids

  • AHA/BHA exfoliants

  • Scrubs or vitamin C serums

  • Fragrance-heavy creams

Instead, focus on barrier repair and hydration.

Step 3: Moisturize with Barrier-Friendly Cream

Once the serum has absorbed, lock in hydration with a ceramide-rich moisturizer.

Recommended Product:
Moisture Barrier Ceramide Cream

  • Strengthens skin barrier

  • Prevents dryness and flaking

  • Ideal for sensitive, post-treatment skin

Use twice daily, especially if you’re treating areas like face, underarms, or bikini line.

Step 4: Sun Protection Is Non-Negotiable

In Pakistani cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad, UV exposure is high year-round. IPL-treated skin is more vulnerable to sun damage, which can lead to pigmentation.

Recommended Product:
Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ Sunscreen

  • Lightweight, sweat-resistant formula

  • Safe for melanin-rich skin

  • Must be worn daily, even indoors or under hijab/dupatta
