What to do if black spots reappear after laser freckle removal? How to take care of yourself after laser freckle removal

Among the many methods of freckle removal, laser freckle removal is the most effective and fastest method, and the effect can basically be achieved immediately. Many people believe in the effectiveness of laser freckle removal, but after actually doing it, they find that although their freckles are gone, their skin has become darker. So what should they do when their skin becomes darker after laser freckle removal?

1. Why does the skin turn darker after laser freckle removal?

The spots will basically disappear about 7 days after laser treatment. It is normal for most patients to experience dark spots 3-4 weeks after treatment, because it takes 1-3 months for the broken melanin particles to be metabolized and absorbed by the body after Q-switched laser or pulsed light treatment. For some patients with poor skin repair ability, the spots may completely disappear about 6 months after treatment. After using laser freckle removal treatment, you must take good care of your skin, pay attention to sun protection, and avoid aggravating pigmentation.

2. What should I do if dark spots return after laser freckle removal?

Laser freckle removal should choose an effective treatment method based on the type of pigmentation of the patient. Laser treatment of freckles 1-2 times can achieve obvious results. A small number of patients will experience mild blackening, and laser treatment can be used again. Chloasma can be treated with laser treatment or picosecond laser treatment, and can also be combined with oral medications and topical applications. After treatment, the patient also needs to do daily skin care.
