Will laser freckle removal leave scars? Beware of 4 major side effects

Many people have certain misunderstandings about lasers, believing that lasers are very dangerous light beams with very high temperatures, and if applied to the face, they will cause damage to the skin. Therefore, many people believe that laser scar removal will leave scars, but regular laser scar removal will not cause scars, unless you choose a medical institution without professional qualifications, so you must choose a qualified institution.

1. Will laser freckle removal leave scars?

Laser technology can penetrate the epidermis of the skin and reach the deep layer of the skin immediately after ultra-pulsing time in milliseconds or microseconds, causing the pigment particles inside the skin to be immediately shattered. The shattered pigment particles will be swallowed up by the body's macrophages and slowly transported away.

This laser technology uses a specific wavelength of laser to pass through the epidermis and dermis to reach the diseased pigment tissue and only act on the pigment particles. Therefore, it does not destroy normal skin and applies the working principle of different wavelengths. It does not cause obvious damage to the skin texture and therefore will not leave scars on the skin.

Although the treatment effect is almost perfect, the post-treatment conditioning cannot be ignored. If you are not careful, some traces may be left behind.

Although the treatment effect is almost perfect, the post-treatment conditioning cannot be ignored.

Therefore, within two weeks of laser treatment: do not scrub the treated area with water, be sure to keep the wound clean, do not remove the scab early, and let it fall off on its own; after laser freckle removal, it is normal to have redness and swelling because the skin is irradiated with energy, but it will subside quickly; the most important conditioning is to use sunscreen and avoid exposure to sunlight.

Second, the side effects of laser freckle removal

1. Increase the concentration of melanin

Although laser freckle removal can quickly remove freckles, the destructive treatment results may also cause large-scale damage to epidermal cells, impair the skin's repair function, and aggravate the condition.

2. Dry and cracked skin

Laser freckle removal treats the surface of the skin and requires peeling off the stratum corneum, which can easily lead to symptoms such as vasoconstriction, water loss, slow blood flow, or bruising in a cold environment. Lack of skin care causes the skin to become tight, wrinkled, or even dry, cracked, infected, and ulcerated, which accelerates the aging process of the skin.

3. Thinning of the skin and appearance of red blood streaks

Laser freckle removal first peels off the epidermal cells of the skin, which can easily cause the skin to become thinner and the capillaries to protrude. When exposed to heat, exercising, or being emotionally excited, blood vessels dilate, blood flow accelerates, and the face turns red, which is called erythema.

4. Skin becomes sensitive

As epidermal cells are damaged, the skin becomes thinner, more fragile and more sensitive. Skin rashes, itching and desquamation are prone to occur. Bacterial infection can easily cause ulcers and even skin cancer.
