Can photorejuvenation remove acne?

Do you have a lot of pimples on your face? This is a process that everyone will go through during adolescence, and it is also a skin problem that many adults are very distressed about. It is not a big deal to have acne during adolescence, as it will gradually disappear after adolescence. However, adults may have to work harder to fight acne. It is understood that the effect of phototherapy is very good. So, what should we pay attention to before doing phototherapy?

Precautions

Preoperative preparation

1. Acne is generally caused by an irregular lifestyle and eating a lot of spicy or irritating foods, so before undergoing laser acne removal, you should adjust your lifestyle and maintain a happy mood.

2. Before using phototherapy to remove acne, you should eat more fruits and vegetables to reduce the retention of toxins in the body. And remember not to smoke or drink. Coffee or tea with too high concentration is not recommended.

3. Many people like to use their hands to break acne when they get it. This is absolutely not allowed. Not only will it easily cause infection, but it will also make the acne bigger and bigger.

After treatment

1. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy, dry, greasy, and high-sugar foods.

2. Take some drugs orally to inhibit sebaceous gland secretion and reduce inflammation (must be under the guidance of a doctor).

3. Use a cleanser with a higher degree of cleansing and antibacterial properties.

4. Use cosmetics with higher oil-control properties.

Postoperative Care

1. The skin is very sensitive during the treatment period of photorejuvenation and acne scar removal, so you should pay special attention to sun protection. Doctors recommend that you try not to go out during the hottest and sunniest hours. If you have to go out, be sure to use sunscreen with an SPF of 25 (an index that is too high will cause too much damage to the skin, and an index that is too low will not meet the sun protection requirements). Apply it once in the morning before going out, once at noon, and once every 2-3 hours when doing outdoor activities.

2. After using photorejuvenation to remove acne marks, prepare two clean towels every day, wet them with water, fold them neatly, wrap them in a clean food bag, and put them in the freezer of the refrigerator (at least 4 hours). Every time you go out and come home, take the towel out of the refrigerator first and put it aside, then clean your face with cold water and neutral cleanser, and apply toner. At this time, the towel has become soft. Applying the softened towel on your face can calm your skin.

3. It is best not to wear makeup one day after photorejuvenation to remove acne marks, especially when the treated area is slightly red, indicating that the skin is repairing itself. At this time, you should not wear makeup or rub the treated area.

4. After treatment, because the skin's absorption capacity is enhanced and metabolism is accelerated, some patients may experience dry and dehydrated skin, so skin care is required after surgery to replenish sufficient water and nutrition.

5. After treatment, please carefully read and follow the post-treatment instructions and the doctor's orders. If you find any concerns, please contact the treating physician in time. The physician will guide you in the correct care and treatment.
