Problem after facial laser - Pigmentation
1.What is laser freckle and anti-black?
Laser freckle and anti-black is medically called "post-inflammatory pigmentation". When the skin is treated by laser, the skin is damaged by the heat of the laser and causes inflammation. Referred to as "color sink"
After the skin becomes inflamed, a pigmentation reaction occurs, and the pigmentation appears, which makes the spots faded under the action of the laser become black or dark brown again.
2. Why does the skin appear anti-black phenomenon?
Race and personal skin type are important factors. The melanocyte activity of Asian yellow people is stronger than that of white people, so melanin deposition and hyperplasia caused by postoperative inflammation are more likely to appear.
Studies have shown that the incidence of anti-black after laser treatment in yellow people is about 10% or more. It is also related to the physique of the beauty seeker, including hormonal influence to activate the activity of melanin.
In addition, the reasons for anti-blackness also include inappropriate energy settings when the doctor operates the laser freckle removal equipment, or the laser freckle removal machine used is not suitable for the patient’s skin, or is affected by the patient’s medication, or the patient has failed after laser freckle removal. Take good care of sun protection, and eat too much lemon or spices and other foods after the operation.
3. Will the skin metabolize pigment after anti-blackening?
The anti-black phenomenon of laser freckle removal is not a manifestation of failure of freckle removal, but a manifestation of skin self-repair. It will recover. After a period of time, the skin will metabolize these pigments and become a normal complexion.
4. How long does it take to disappear after laser freckle removal?
Under normal circumstances, there will be no anti-black phenomenon after laser treatment. The skin will heal slowly after six or seven days of laser treatment, and the surgical site will appear pink.
Once the anti-darkness appears, the skin will automatically metabolize the pigmentation, and the reappearing pigment will usually fade away slowly about 2 months after the anti-darkness appears, and it takes 3-5 months for those with slower metabolism.
5. How to deal with laser freckle and anti-black?
If anti-black phenomenon occurs after laser freckle removal, you don’t need to be too nervous and you should maintain a good attitude. You should try to avoid sun exposure for the next 3-6 months, eat more fruits, supplement vitamin C, and promote melanin metabolism.
