Skin redness after laser scar removal

With the progress of society and the development of medical technology, the plastic surgery industry is becoming more and more developed. Many people may have scars due to various reasons. Now they can go to the hospital and rely on surgery to remove scars. There are many ways to remove scars, among which laser scar removal is the most popular scar removal surgery. However, there may be redness of the skin after laser scar removal. What is going on?

Redness and swelling after laser removal are normal, because the wound formed after the skin is penetrated by the strong heat of the laser is still very new, so there will be redness and swelling. Don't worry, it is normal. At this time, as long as you keep the wound dry and clean, the wound will slowly scab over and gradually return to normal.

After laser treatment, a scab will form first. After the scab falls off, a white or pink membrane will appear. During this period, you should pay attention to sun protection and eat less spicy, fried and seafood foods. Do not use functional products for the time being to avoid irritating the skin. The scab will fall off on its own after the wound heals. The surface of the wound or sore is composed of lumps formed by the coagulation of platelets and fibrin. When the wound heals, the skin enters the remodeling period, the number of fibroblasts decreases, and collagen continues to adhere, changing the ugly scar model caused by the cause, showing obvious signs of maturity. The scar becomes scarlet for about 4 months, then gradually fades from red, and finally turns silvery white.

The new skin is relatively thin, and it takes 3 months to fully recover. At this time, you can use any skin care products that are non-irritating and non-exfoliating. Be sure to do a good job of hydrating and moisturizing the skin, and protect it from the sun, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.
