During skin beauty treatment, pigmentation is one of the more serious adverse reactions, especially pigmentation after photoelectric surgery. It is difficult to remove and often causes headaches for doctors and customers. However, according to different stages after photoelectric surgery, we can take corresponding measures to deal with the pigmentation problem.


1. Immediately after photoelectric surgery

After photon or laser freckle removal, the darkening of the color of the freckle is a normal and appropriate endpoint reaction. Don't worry, it is a welcome phenomenon. At this time, you only need to follow the postoperative care points to strengthen care and help the skin recover.


2. 7-15 days after photoelectric surgery

Seven to ten days after photoelectric freckle removal and fractional laser surgery, it is common for scabs to form and turn black. You still don't need to worry too much. The key is to strictly follow the care points, do not pick off the scabs, and let them stay naturally for ten to fifteen days. This step is the key to preventing postoperative pigmentation.


3. 15-30 days after photoelectric surgery

If the previous blackening reaction is not properly cared for, such as premature scab removal, the operation site is prone to local pigmentation or redness at this time, and the pigmentation problem may appear in about two weeks to one month. In this regard, on the one hand, we must continue to strengthen protection and repair, strictly implement physical sunscreen, do not wear makeup for the time being, reduce water contact to avoid irritation; use trehalose gel with collagen repair lotion. On the other hand, we must start to reduce redness and prevent excessive pigmentation, and use tranexamic acid liposome essence twice a day.


4. 1-6 months after photoelectric surgery

At this stage, the skin is in a state of inflammation and pigmentation. As time goes by, the inflammation gradually decreases and the pigmentation becomes more obvious. At this time, the skin epithelialization is gradually completed, but the dermal vascularization is still significant, and the skin tolerance is improved. Photon, microneedle, salicylic acid, long pulse width laser and other treatments can be arranged, but the initial endpoint reaction needs to be controlled moderately, not too heavy, and at the same time, continue to strengthen the repair, and insist on using fading ingredients such as tranexamic acid.


5. More than half a year after photoelectric surgery

Usually, the pigmentation after photoelectric surgery can disappear on its own in about half a year, but if it does not disappear for a long time, the pigment particles have been wrapped by immune cells and are difficult to metabolize on their own. At this time, it is necessary to use stronger means to deal with it, such as 1064nm laser blasting, fractional laser, etc., to destroy the pigment particle wrapping, and continue to use products such as tranexamic acid, with acid brushing to accelerate metabolism to improve the pigmentation condition.


RESTORATION HIGLIGHYS

Cooling down in time:Cooling down in time before, during and after treatment to prevent heat accumulation, using cooling devices or cold compresses to reduce skin temperature and burning sensation.

Anti-inflammatory treatment:Use topical or oral glucocorticoids for anti-inflammatory, topical hydrocortisone cream, and oral prednisone when necessary, follow the doctor's advice.

Wet healing:Use topical trehalose gel and other moisturizers multiple times a day to keep the scab for 10-15 days to prevent it from falling off prematurely and promote skin repair.

Strict sun protection: Half a month to one month after removing spots, give priority to physical sun protection, such as using parasols, wearing sun hats and masks, and use less sunscreen.

Care after scabs fall off: After scabs fall off, continue to use gel to repair the skin, with arbutin cream and tranexamic acid liposome essence to prevent pigmentation and help skin recovery.
