On the suitability of glycolic acid and laser hair removal
Whether fuzumin glycolic acid and laser hair removal can be used together, it is necessary to examine the properties and uses of the two in detail.

Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids and has many effects. Its small molecules can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin, relax the connection between keratinocytes, cause old keratin to fall off, make the skin smooth and delicate, and can stimulate the regeneration of collagen in the dermis layer, making the skin firm and elastic.

The principle of laser hair removal is based on selective photothermal action. Light of a specific wavelength is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle, and light energy is converted into heat energy, causing the temperature of the hair follicle to rise and destroying the hair growth tissue of the hair follicle to achieve the effect of hair removal.

If you use both, there are certain considerations. Glycolic acid can cause the stratum corneum of the skin to thin and increase skin sensitivity. If you use glycolic acid for a short time before laser hair removal, the skin is in a sensitive state. When laser hair removal is performed, photothermal stimulation may cause the skin to overreact, causing redness, swelling, increased pain, and even burns.

After laser hair removal, the skin also needs time to repair. At this time, if glycolic acid is used rashly, the newly born delicate skin may be difficult to withstand its exfoliation effect, hindering the repair process and increasing the risk of infection.

Therefore, if you want to use glycolic acid and laser hair removal together, it should be prudent. Generally speaking, a few weeks before laser hair removal, it is recommended to stop glycolic acid products until the skin returns to normal. After laser hair removal, it is also necessary to wait for the skin to be completely repaired and evaluated by professionals before restarting the use of glycolic acid. In this way, when pursuing the effect of skin beauty and hair removal, it can protect the skin's health and avoid risks.
