Are there any dangers of laser freckle removal on the face?

For women with spots on their faces, spots are not only unsightly but also make people lack confidence. What women with spots on their faces care about most is to get rid of the spots on their faces as soon as possible. Many women have used many spot removal products, but the results are not very ideal. At present, the best way to remove spots is laser spot removal. However, no matter which spot removal method is used, there are pros and cons. What are the hazards of facial laser spot removal?

Laser freckle removal uses a light beam to irradiate the melanin in the skin in order to break up the melanin, which can help lighten and remove freckles. However, if the energy of the beam used during the operation is too high, redness and swelling of the skin may easily occur. Generally speaking, this situation will disappear quickly. If it does not go away and there is pain, then the skin is burned.

scar

Laser freckle removal will leave scars, but these scars are not obvious and are basically invisible after complete recovery. However, there may be special unexpected circumstances that may lead to obvious scars on the skin. For example, if the operator makes a mistake and fails to control the depth of treatment, thereby damaging the skin tissue, obvious scars may easily appear.

Rebound

Laser freckle removal can only remove the melanin currently present in the skin. If the post-operative care is improper, such as not doing a good job of sun protection and eating some light-sensitive foods, the melanin in the skin will become active again and the spots on the face will rebound.

Generally speaking, the harm caused by laser freckle removal is relatively small, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. Skin burns, scars, and recurrence are some of the possible harms of laser freckle removal. Therefore, friends who want to do laser freckle removal must understand these harms in advance, so that they can better understand this method of laser freckle removal.

1. Postoperative care is required after laser freckle removal

(1) Return to the clinic for follow-up examination 1 to 2 weeks after laser freckle removal. If any abnormalities are found, seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

(2) If the pigmentation has not completely disappeared, the next whitening and freckle removal treatment can be performed in about 2 months.

(3) Due to differences in individual physical constitution and skin conditions, the reaction after laser treatment may vary. Some individuals may experience some degree of redness and swelling, which can be alleviated by applying ice.

2. Pay attention to sun protection after laser freckle removal

After the scab falls off after laser freckle removal, there is no need to apply ointment anymore, but you need to apply sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or above. You should also apply it indoors to prevent damage from ultraviolet rays. Try to avoid going out during the hours of strong sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. After laser freckle removal, the treated area is very sensitive to sunlight, so you should avoid sun exposure for 3 months to 6 months. Try to use sunscreen or use an umbrella to improve the treatment effect.

You can still wash your face as usual after laser freckle removal, and choose a milder cleanser for cleaning. At the same time, you should insist on gentle massage during the recovery period, dry the affected area, and then apply a thin layer of ointment until the scab falls off.

4. Vitamin supplementation is required after laser freckle removal

After laser freckle removal, we should supplement more vitamin C to promote melanin metabolism, such as eating more foods containing vitamin C. Tomatoes and oranges are very good, which can effectively help our skin recover. At the same time, we should also maintain a good attitude. Of course, we should also pay more attention to diet issues after treatment. We should not eat spicy food and avoid smoking and drinking in the short term.
