Can I Use Toner After Laser?

Published in Skincare 1 min read

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.
