The presence of spots on the face can have a certain impact on one's personal image, and typical methods for spot removal are often unable to deeply purify the pigmented spots. With the advancement of technology, laser spot removal has gradually become well-known. As an ideal method for spot removal, an increasing number of people are opting for laser spot removal surgery. But does laser spot removal have the potential for rebound?
Principle of Laser Spot Removal
Laser spot removal involves irradiating the pigmented spots with laser to break down the pigment, which is then eventually eliminated from the body through metabolism. Therefore, laser spot removal is currently one of the methods that can completely remove pigmented spots.
Will Laser Spot Removal Rebound?
After laser spot removal, as long as proper care is taken, rebound is generally not a concern. Any post-treatment darkening of the skin experienced by some individuals usually disappears within 2-5 months, so there is no need to worry excessively. This is because laser spot removal only removes existing spots on the skin, which are caused by the deposition of melanin. If one's lifestyle and skincare habits are poor after spot removal, causing melanin to deposit again, the reappearance of spots is also possible.
Causes of Post-Laser Spot Removal Rebound
Post-laser spot removal rebound is related to two factors. One is the hospital where the surgery is performed. The key to ensuring the effectiveness of spot removal and avoiding rebound is to have the surgery done in a reputable hospital. If the surgery is performed in some unregulated hospitals, rebound may occur.
The other reason is insufficient skincare after spot removal surgery, which leads to the rebound of pigmented spots.
How to Care for the Skin After Laser Spot Removal
1. Within 3-4 days after laser surgery, pay attention to the repair and maintenance of the face. Redness and swelling in the treated area are normal. It is best not to wash the face excessively. Just use a dedicated towel to keep the affected area clean and fresh. Apply reparative ointment and take anti-inflammatory and antibiotic medications.
2. It is not recommended to use cosmetics within one week after surgery. Washing the face with plain water is the best choice. The scabs in the treated area will fall off after one week, and they should not be removed by hand.
3. Pigmented spots gradually form over time, so after the surgery, patients must also pay attention to sun protection to prevent sun exposure and the formation of new spots.
