Laser Hair Removal Pre-Care & Aftercare: Triton Instructions

Before Your Treatment

• Avoid skin irritation and intentional skin tanning. Sunscreen is advisable when outdoors during daylight hours.
• Discontinue any irritant topical agents for 2 to 3 days prior to treatment.
• Do not arrive freshly tanned or using sunless tanner.
• Shave the area being treated prior to your scheduled treatment.
• Arrive with clean skin. There should be no lotion, make-up, perfume, powder, or bath or shower oil present on the skin in the area to be treated.
• A topical anesthetic should be used only as directed by a physician and only if necessary.
• Areas near dental crowns, caps, braces, or other metal dental implants may be more sensitive to treatment. Your clinician may use dental rolls, gauze, or a tongue depressor to isolate the area and make the treatment more comfortable.

Right After Treatment

After a Triton laser hair removal session, proper aftercare is key to avoid irritation and get the best results.

• Your skin may feel like a mild sunburn: warm, red, or slightly swollen. That is normal.
• Apply a cool compress or aloe vera gel to soothe the area.
• Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
• Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated skin.

The First 24 to 48 Hours

• Skip hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms.
• Avoid workouts that cause heavy sweating.
• Avoid deodorant if the underarms were treated.
• Stay away from makeup if the face was treated.
• Do not use harsh skincare. No exfoliants, retinoids, or acids.

Sun Protection

Laser-treated skin is more sensitive to UV damage, so this step matters more than usual.

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week.
• Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily.
• Wear protective clothing if the area is exposed.

The Hair Shedding Phase

• About 1 to 3 weeks later, treated hairs will start to fall out.
• This is expected. Do not pluck or wax.
• You can shave gently if needed.
• Light exfoliation after a few days can help the shedding process.
