It depends on the type of laser treatment you received and the type of toner you are considering.
Laser Treatments and Toner Use
- Fractional Laser: This treatment targets small areas of skin and can be more aggressive. It's generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours after a fractional laser treatment before using toner.
- Laser Hair Removal: Toner can be used after laser hair removal, but it's important to choose a gentle, alcohol-free toner. Avoid toners containing harsh ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid.
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: This treatment removes the top layer of skin, and it's recommended to wait several days before using toner.
Choosing the Right Toner
- Gentle and Alcohol-Free: Choose a toner formulated for sensitive skin that is alcohol-free.
- Hydrating: Look for toners that contain hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
- Avoid Irritating Ingredients: Avoid toners containing harsh ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, or fragrances.
Always consult with your dermatologist or the medical professional who performed your laser treatment before using any skincare product.
