I'm curious if it's okay to work out right after getting laser hair removal, for those of you who go to the gym often haha.

Since I tend to exercise almost every day, I'm already worried about my workout schedule now that I'm starting laser hair removal lol.

I am considering laser hair removal for my underarms and arms. Since my routine on weekdays is going straight to the gym after work, my biggest question is whether I need to skip my workout on the day of the procedure.

I saw a post saying that the skin can be sensitive after laser hair removal, so I should avoid exercises that make me sweat a lot.

In that case, I would like to know if I only need to rest on the day of the laser hair removal, or if it is better to rest the next day as well.

I tend to run and do weight training, so I sweat quite a lot haha.

If I exercise immediately after laser hair removal, is there a higher chance of my skin stinging or turning red?

I'm especially worried about getting it irritated since the armpits are an area with a lot of arm movement and sweating easily.

If it is better to take a break from exercising, I would rather schedule a laser hair removal appointment on a day when I don't work out.

And I'm also curious about the shower.

I have a habit of taking a hot shower after working out, but I'm wondering if it's better to take a short, lukewarm shower on the day I get laser hair removal.

I also tend to use the gym sauna frequently; for how many days did you avoid things like this?

If I plan to get laser hair removal regularly, the schedule will repeat every few weeks, so I think it would be kind of inconvenient if I had to keep taking breaks from exercising as well lol.

If there are any frequent exercisers who have had laser hair removal multiple times, how did you usually schedule your sessions?

I am also curious whether you exercised immediately the day after the procedure if your skin was fine, or if you waited about two days.

Also, I would like to know if there are cases where the skin reaction is strong during the first few sessions, so you need to be more careful, and then it becomes a bit more comfortable later on.
