Laser Skin Resurfacing

Application Features

Skin purifying laser, otherwise known as Nd-Yag laser, is intended for pigmentation spots. The general principle is to improve the largest area possible and achieve the highest energy. The light and heat generated by the laser beam react with the skin. The laser comes in two wavelengths: 532nm and 1064nm. 532nm is used to handle superficial pigments, such as freckles and café-au-lait-spots; 1064nm is used to handle other pigmentation spots. Since the energy for each unit area is smaller than that of traditional pigmentation laser, epidermal damage such as ulcers and scarring and even the resulting darkening are not likely, thereby achieving speedy whitening results.

 

♦Efficacy

After accurately extracting a specific wavelength and setting the correct energy, the melanin in the skin can be removed, thereby achieving the effects of improving skin dullness and deep-layer whitening. The action of the band is to remove superficial dead cells in the epidermal layer, quickly whiten cuticle melanin, smooth the skin tone, soften the skin, and remove spots. It is a safe and effective procedure. However, as the saying goes, “Before great construction comes great destruction”, the improvement results of “skin purifying laser” can only be seen only after sessions of therapy.

Treatment Process
Perform cleansing Apply anesthetic ointment The surgeon operates laser

 
Apply an N/S facial mask Apply cold spray Apply eye ointment (if there is a wound); apply repair cream (if there is no wound)

 

♦Treatment Time and Interval

The time varies according to scope of treatment. Each session (preoperative and postoperative) is about 40-60 minutes. Therapy sessions are usually conducted once every 2-3 weeks, 3-5 sessions in total. The doctor will provide recommendations according to the skin condition of individuals after an assessment.

Precautions

1. Avoid putting on heavy makeup on the day of treatment.
 
2.Strengthen moisturizing and repair and sunscreen. Avoid direct sun exposure and reduce outdoor activity.
 
3.Do not perform exfoliation before surgery and two weeks after surgery. Do not apply whitening products (ＬC. Arbutin, etc.), acid products (A acid, AHA, salicylic acid, etc.), and skincare products containing irritating ingredients (alcoholic ingredients).
 
4.Avoid heat stimulus two weeks after surgery, such as sauna, oven, stem room, hot spring, face washing using hot water, etc.
 

5.In case there is scaring, there will be slight itchiness, which is a normal phenomenon of epidermal regeneration. Do not scratch it and avoid forcefully peeling it. Wait for the skin to heal it self, and the skin will peel off naturally. If the skin becomes slightly rosy, strengthen moisturizing and sunscreen to avoid pigmentation and darkening.
 
6.Do nose use skincare products or drugs not prescribed by the doctor during treatment period.
 
7.Within 12 hours after treatment, reddening and a burning sensation similar to sunburn is seen at the surgical site. For those whose treatment site is deeper, edema may appear. Apply an ice pack wrapped in clean gauze on the surgical site to alleviate discomfort. This is a normal reaction after resurfacing, which will subside after 2-3 days. There is no need for concern, but you may make a re-visit for examination by the surgeon.
 
8.Postoperative home wound care method: The surgical site should be moisturized and away from suns exposure. Use a cotton swab or clean gauze dipped in saline solution for localized cleaning. After wiping it dry, apply ointment until scar formation start using postoperative skincare products. Strengthen moisturizing and sunscreen.
 
9.The therapeutic result varies according to pigmentation spot type and depth. For deeper pigmentation spots, several therapy sessions are needed to achieve expected results.
