Question:
I am a 52-year-old man interested in laser skin resurfacing. How long must I wait after the procedure to start shaving again?
Answer:
Depending upon the type of the laser skin resurfacing procedure that is performed on you the longer you will have to wait until shaving is safe. I would say that after one week your skin will have rejuvenated enough that gentle shaving would be safe. You may have to avoid some spots where the laser had gone a bit deeper.
