1. Apply cold compress to the face

Laser cosmetic uses high-efficiency energy to act on the skin. After the operation, the skin may become red and slightly red. If there is swelling or skin damage, cold spray, cold compress or wet mask can be applied to the skin immediately, without rubbing the skin during this process. At the same time, you should choose to apply a face or cold compress according to the different reaction levels of the skin. For example, after using semiconductor freezing point hair removal, the hair follicles may cause slight swelling. This is a normal reaction after freezing point hair removal. In this case, it is good to choose a cold compress on the face. , 15 minutes will do; another example is that after 2940nm erbium laser micro-abduction, if red rash, swelling, bleeding, etc. occur, you can use 3% boric acid solution to apply on the face or cold compress for 30 minutes.

2. Medical skin care products and medicines

The thin stratum corneum of the skin can maintain the water loss through the skin at only 2-5g/(h·cm2 ), making the skin smooth and elastic. For example, the natural moisturizing factor in the stratum corneum cells and skin metabolism are reduced, the water content of the thin stratum corneum is less than 10%, and the pH value is >6.5. Dry skin is prone to pigmentation, brittleness, etc. After laser surgery, the skin's metabolism accelerates, and the skin is prone to dryness and dehydration. Medical skin care products or drugs have pharmacological specificity and strong purpose. They can increase the moisture content and lipid content of the skin's stratum corneum, repair the skin, restore the skin's natural barrier, and have anti-irritation and anti-inflammatory effects. Skin diseases have the effect of auxiliary treatment.

After treatment of some diseases (such as red rash and mole), temporary small blisters or bullae will appear. Do not break them and wait for them to dry up naturally. If the rash is large, prick it with a sterile testing needle and draw out the water. If the rash cracks, it should be disinfected and sterilized on time (iodine sterilization 1-3 times a day). It does not need to be closed and tied. Scald cream can be applied externally. For the treatment of chloasma with emerald fractional laser, beta-arbutin, Vitamin C and compounds, kojic acid, etc. relieve pigmentation.

3. Sun protection and isolation

Whether it is pigmentary or vascular skin diseases or the inflammatory period after photoaging surgery, the skin at this stage is all in danger. During the highly critical period, melanocytes in the muscle base will produce a large amount of pigment after being stimulated by ultraviolet rays, which may lead to post-operative skin pigmentation, so post-operative sun protection is very necessary.

IV. Reasonable diet

Diet is very important for skin repair. Protein, fat and glycogen are all essential nutrients for the skin. Some beauty advertisements also say that , vitamins and nutrients can affect the normal metabolism and endocrine system of the skin. You can eat more foods containing vitamin C and vitamin A; eat more apples, vegetables, and foods rich in nutrients such as copper and zinc. Suggestions after laser cosmetic surgery 2

Misunderstandings about laser cosmetic surgery

Misunderstanding 1: Laser has radiation, so you should wear protective clothing

Some patients come to After visiting the laser center, you will feel very strange - why don't the doctors wear protective clothing? Doesn’t it mean that lasers emit radiation? Special protective clothing should be worn in laser centers.

Answer: The wavelength used by the laser center belongs to the category of surgical laser and does not cause any radiation. The laser equipment used in the treatment is a high-energy laser with strong energy. Therefore, during the treatment, we need to wear glasses with special wavelengths and optical density, which are specially designed to protect specific wavelengths to protect our eyes.

Misunderstanding 2: Laser treatment of birthmarks does not matter any size.

Some beauty institutions claim: "The success rate of laser treatment of birthmarks is 100%. It does not damage normal skin, is safe, efficient and non-toxic." Scars." Consumers believe it, leave happily, and leave disappointed.

Answer: There are various types of birthmarks, and the treatment effect is related to the age of the patient, the location and size of the birthmark, etc. Additionally, most birthmarks require multiple treatments.

Yellow café-au-lait spots? The overall effect of café-au-lait spots treatment is good, and basically 70% of people have good results. Generally, 1 to 3 treatments are required, but some stubborn cases require multiple treatments. Overall, there is great hope for treating café-au-lait spots, especially for small areas of plaque, where the cure rate is very high.

Black nevus of Ota? Ota nevus can be mild or severe. Lighter nevus can be treated in four times, while more severe nevus may require more than a dozen treatments. The number of treatments is closely related to the color of nevus of Ota.

Red port wine stain? Port wine stain, commonly known as hemangioma. After laser treatment, red birthmarks can be significantly faded. Of course, the effect is not as obvious as nevus of Ota. The treatment effect is to fade the color by more than half, and the best ones can fade 80% to 90%.

Misunderstanding 3: Laser tattoo removal can easily leave no trace

Induced by some exaggerated publicity beauty institutions, many people believe that: "laser removal The tattoo can be completely eliminated and removed easily without leaving scars."

Answer: In fact, as long as you have a tattoo, you can't just remove it if you want to. Tattoos with relatively light colors will change slightly after treatment, and the results will not be visible until a year and a half later. This is a particularly good situation. Color tattoos are not very good and will cause scarring. Before cleaning, you need to feel the tattoo to see if it is flat. Some are raised, like reliefs. If it is flat to the touch, the effect is expected to be better. Eyeliner and eyebrow tattoos are all tattoos, and their removal effects are relatively good. Even if dirt remains inside due to trauma, the effect will be very good after cleaning.

Myth 4: Laser freckle removal will recur.

Laser freckle removal will recur. The appearance of pigmented spots after laser treatment indicates treatment failure.

Reply: Freckles are a relatively common problem, but the effect of laser treatment is not 100%. 50% to 90% of freckles can be removed after 2 to 3 treatments. If they recur, it cannot be said that the treatment failed. , because laser freckle removal is not a one-time solution, treatment care is very important. In order to prevent "relapse", after the face is done, you should also pay attention to maintenance. The first point is to pay attention to sun protection; the second point is to treat it regularly. People who have had freckles treated should undergo maintenance once a year. The frequency of follow-up visits should be determined based on personal physique and treatment effects.

Myth 5: Laser hair removal can be done in beauty salons

“Laser hair removal is a very easy thing. You can just find a beauty salon to complete it. It is convenient and cheap.” Yes There are many people who know this. However, choosing a beauty salon for hair removal is risky.

Answer: Hair removal is relatively safe, but the premise is that it must be done in a regular medical institution. Why is it not recommended to choose a beauty salon for hair removal? The effect of hair removal depends on three reasons: first, the equipment; second, the doctor's reasons; and third, the patient's specific situation. Since hair removal equipment ranges from millions to hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands, the risk is high if the equipment is not good.

First of all, the energy of equipment worth tens of thousands of yuan is unstable. For example, a good machine will have a self-checking process to determine whether the light energy is sufficient and whether it is stable or unstable. Poor equipment does not have this function; secondly, the operators of beauty salons are basically not doctors, but simply trained practitioners; thirdly, Third, the individual physiques of hair removers are different. If she encounters an abnormal situation, such as not only hairiness, but also abnormal menstruation, the doctor will help her analyze whether there are other diseases. Considering these three aspects, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital.
