Precautions for laser freckle removal on the face

The appearance of chloasma on the face will not only affect the beauty of the facial skin, but also cause metabolic disorders in the body. I hope everyone should adjust their work and rest time and diet. If there are spots on the face, laser can be used to remove them, but you need to pay attention to surgical care measures after laser treatment, especially not rushing to wash your face and eating problems, and avoid eating foods containing vitamin C.

What should I pay attention to when using laser to remove freckles?

Dietary considerations for laser freckle removal

Laser freckle removal basically has no side effects and will not produce any adverse reactions to the body, but this still depends on the quality of the surgical treatment and whether the postoperative care is in place.

You should pay attention to your diet after the operation. Remember not to eat foods with high pigment content or spicy foods to prevent local pigment deposition. For example, high-pigment foods such as coffee, and photosensitive foods should not be eaten (for example, celery). Finally, you need to keep the area around the treated skin clean to prevent bacterial infection.

Precautions after laser freckle removal surgery

1. Sun protection

To avoid pigmentation after treatment, be sure to do a good job of sun protection:

1. Topical sunscreen: The sunscreen selected after laser surgery: UVB protection factor (SPF)>30; UVA protection factor (PA)>++.

2. When going out, wear a sun hat, a cotton long-sleeved top and long pants, and hold a parasol, preferably an anti-UV umbrella.

3. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight during the strongest sunlight hours of the day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

2. Pay attention to diet

After the laser treatment, you should avoid eating foods containing copper, B vitamins and spicy foods, and eat more foods rich in VitC and VitA, such as fruits and vegetables, and foods rich in trace elements such as iron and zinc, such as lean meat, fish, beans, cabbage, radish, etc., and remember to drink plenty of water to promote skin repair.

3. Wet compress

After the laser treatment, immediately apply cold wet compresses or a wet mask to the skin, but be gentle during this process to avoid rubbing the skin.

4. Use certain drugs

After the operation, you can apply a thin layer of gentamicin or erythromycin ointment to the wound according to the doctor's instructions. If the laser treatment area is large and the inflammatory reaction is severe, you can take 10 mg of prednisone orally 3 times a day for 3 consecutive days to enhance the anti-inflammatory effect; you can also spray alkaline fibroblast growth factor (BFGF) on the wound to promote healing.

5. Use medical skin care products

Since the laser will damage the skin's sebum membrane, stratum corneum and other structures to varying degrees, you need to use medical skin care products containing moisturizing ingredients within 3-6 months after the treatment to help repair the damaged skin.
