Itchy and itching starts

According to my research, this should be seen as a good sign, as my immune system is kicking in and starting to heal the affected area. An itching sensation is common, but just like any other type of skin irritation. Itching is very common secondary to inflammation induced by the laser and as part of the normal healing process.

However, itching should completely resolve after one to two months post-treatment. Persistent itching beyond this point can be a warning sign for scarring. I must try not to scratch the area. Scratching could impact on the effectiveness of removal. It may also break the skin and create a wound, which will lead to additional scarring or risk infection.

Generally, I am already mentally prepared for the itch to get worst in the next few days. As I have read what all others have encountered after the treatment and this is part of the laser 'package'. No pain no gain!
