Does anyone know what to do about having a reaction after laser hair removal. It started after my 2nd treatment and my lower legs looked like I had been attacked by 1000’s of Flea’s and it was red, swollen and itched like crazy. This lasted 3 weeks to almost 4. They’re using the Gentle Yag and I’m having full leg treatment done, but the reaction only happens on the lower half. Today I went for the 3rd treatment and I started taking Claritin yesterday and today, and it is already starting now!!! Again, just the lower legs!! Does anyone know what to do to stop it. It looks horrible and the itching is enough to make you lose your mind!!
This is a histaminic reaction and it occurs at times. What is your skin type ??? If you are skin type III, perhaps they can use an adjustable pulse Alexandrite on you. If they have the laser, have them do a test patch on a small area and see how it reacts.
