What are the side effects of laser beauty treatment?

Using laser to remove moles and spots on the face is a practice of many beauty-conscious friends, because many friends believe that laser beauty has no side effects and is very effective. In fact, laser beauty treatments also have side effects, such as pigmentation, depigmentation, facial flushing, etc. Not everyone is suitable for laser beauty treatments.

Pigmentation

Pigmentation, also known as post-inflammatory pigmentation, is one of the common sequelae after laser cosmetic surgery, usually caused by not paying attention to sun protection and anti-inflammatory. Since most laser cosmetic procedures can cause inflammation, improper post-operative care and sun protection can often lead to pigmentation.

Postoperative blisters

Just like blisters caused by burns, laser light is absorbed by tissues to produce normal photothermal effects to achieve the purpose of beauty treatment. However, improper selection of instruments and energy will cause non-target tissues to absorb too much light, causing the skin tissue temperature to be too high and form blisters. Generally, small blisters can disappear on their own without leaving scars with the care of light conditioning cream and burn ointment, but larger blisters will leave scars.

Depigmentation​

Pigment loss is usually caused by over-treatment, that is, in beauty projects such as laser freckle removal, melanin is over-exploded, resulting in too little melanin, which manifests as abnormal graying of the skin!

Facial flushing

Facial flushing is also the most common sequelae of improper postoperative care for laser cosmetic surgery. Since laser treatment requires good care, improper care will damage the epidermis. Facial flushing is a typical symptom of epidermal damage.
