Title: Is it okay to cleanse as usual on the day of a dermatological laser treatment?

I'm planning to get a laser treatment at a dermatology clinic after work, and I'm actually a bit worried about how to wash my face afterward.

I usually use sunscreen and cushion foundation almost every day, so I have a habit of dissolving my makeup with cleansing oil and then washing it off again with a foam cleanser. However, since I heard that the skin can become sensitive immediately after a laser procedure, I am concerned about whether it is okay to double cleanse as usual.

Especially when using cleansing oil, I tend to rub it in with my hands multiple times, and I am worried that friction on the treated area might prolong the redness or irritate the skin.

Would it be better to go without any makeup on the day of the procedure? I heard that the clinic cleanses the face before the treatment, but I am wondering if removing my makeup beforehand would be less stressful on my skin.

And I heard that depending on the type of laser, there are cases where you can wash your face on the same day and cases where you need to avoid it for a certain period.

I would like to know if it is better to just rinse lightly with water on the day of the procedure, or if it is okay to use a mild cleanser. I am the type of person who feels refreshed only when I wash my face thoroughly, so I habitually take a long time to wash it; I think I need to be careful this time, haha.

I'm also concerned about my skincare routine after washing my face. I usually apply various products, from toner to essence, ampoule, and moisturizer, but after getting laser treatment, would it be better to just use a moisturizer with simple ingredients?

I am also wondering how many days I should avoid exfoliating ingredients or whitening functional cosmetics.

Above all, I would like to hear about your actual experiences regarding how to manage facial cleansing and skincare not only on the day of the procedure but also for the following few days.

Are there any of you who frequently get laser treatments after work?

I would appreciate it if you could let me know how you washed your face on the evening of the procedure and when you started using cleansing oil or foam cleanser again.

The laser effect is important, but I want to avoid my skin becoming even more sensitive due to bad cleansing habits.

Please add a sentence asking about the type of laser first. Please shorten the question to make it easier to read.
