[Medical beauty laser lazy bag] What is the difference between picosecond cellular laser? An answer to the effects, side effects, and recovery period of medical aesthetic lasers

The durability of laser treatment effects varies from person to person, usually ranging from six months to a year, depending on the individual's physical constitution, skin condition and daily maintenance. If treatment is maintained regularly (eg once every few months), the results can be extended longer.

Sunburn is suitable for using pulsed light (IPL) or skin-cleansing laser (Neodymium Accent Laser). These lasers mainly target pigment problems and can precisely target the melanin in the skin.

Pulsed light is suitable for large-area pigmentation problems and can evenly lighten the skin tone; while skin-purifying laser (Neodymium Accent Laser) targets specific pigments and is more effective in removing deep-seated sun spots.

Uneven skin tone is suitable for pulsed light (IPL) or cellular picosecond laser. Pulsed light is effective in targeting uneven pigmentation, improving skin tone and making skin more translucent and even.

Honeycomb picosecond laser can treat pigments in a shorter time, making the skin look more translucent without causing damage to the surrounding skin.

Fractional Laser or Fractional CO2 Laser is suitable for acne scars. These lasers can accurately penetrate the skin, stimulate collagen proliferation, and thereby improve depressed acne scars.

Fraxel laser is suitable for milder acne scars, while CO2 fractional laser is more penetrating and suitable for deep and severe acne scars.

There are several types of laser treatments for various skin conditions:

• Basic treatment: melanin removal for the meticulous renewal of the stratum corneum and polishing of the basal layer
• Superficial spot treatment: single-point treatment mode to lighten pigment
• Complex spot treatment: inhibits melanin activity, superficial and dermal problems can be treated simultaneously
• Pore ​​Treatment: Improve the firmness and health of the dermis

Makeup can be applied about 2-3 days after superficial laser treatment, but it may take more than 7 days for deep laser treatment. Make sure the skin is completely repaired before applying makeup to avoid irritating the skin.

It is not recommended to drink alcohol immediately after laser treatment as alcohol can affect the skin's repair process. Drinking alcohol will dilate blood vessels and increase blood circulation, which may aggravate the redness, swelling, stinging and other uncomfortable symptoms after laser surgery, and even prolong the recovery time.

In addition, alcohol may interfere with the body's repair ability and reduce the effectiveness of treatment. There may also be an increased risk of skin sensitivity or inflammation if you drink alcoholic beverages after laser treatment.

In order to allow the skin to recover optimally, it is recommended to avoid drinking alcohol for at least 3-7 days after surgery and focus on replenishing moisture and nutrients to promote skin repair.

You need to pay special attention to your diet after laser and avoid some foods that may affect skin repair to reduce the risk of side effects and promote recovery. Like:

• Spicy and irritating foods: such as chili peppers, spicy hot pot, pepper, etc., will stimulate blood circulation and may aggravate postoperative redness, swelling or discomfort.
• High-fat and fried foods: such as fried chicken, French fries, etc., can easily cause skin inflammation or acne and are not conducive to skin repair.
• Alcoholic beverages: Alcohol dilates blood vessels, increases skin sensitivity, and prolongs recovery time and should be avoided for at least 3-7 days
• Seafood and raw and cold food: Some people are sensitive to seafood, and eating it after laser treatment may increase the risk of allergies or inflammation; raw and cold food may affect body metabolism and be detrimental to repair.
• High-sugar foods: such as desserts, sugary drinks, etc. High-sugar diets may promote inflammation and reduce skin repair efficiency.
• Avoid eating photosensitive foods: such as coriander, celery, nine-story pagoda, etc. to avoid blackening

Make sure the clinic you choose is legally licensed and operated by professional dermatologists. Communicate fully with your doctor to understand the appropriate type of laser and its possible effects and side effects.

2 weeks before treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure to avoid darkening or making the skin sensitive. If you have sunburn or peeling skin, it is recommended to postpone the treatment.

Stop using skin care products containing fruit acid, A acid, vitamin C and other ingredients 3-5 days before medical aesthetics laser treatment to avoid skin irritation.

Avoid using hair removal creams, razors, and exfoliation in the area where laser treatment is to be performed one week before the treatment to prevent skin damage.

You need to tell your doctor whether you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking photosensitivity drugs, or have recently received other skin treatments, so that the doctor can evaluate whether you are suitable for laser treatment.

Laser treatment may cause a slight stinging or burning sensation. Before going, understand the process and possible recovery status to avoid being overly nervous.

The skin after laser treatment is more fragile and is easily stimulated by ultraviolet rays and causes pigmentation. Be sure to wear high-factor sunscreen (SPF50+) and protect your skin with a hat or umbrella.

Within a few days after surgery, you should avoid using products containing acids (such as A acid, fruit acid), alcohol or essential oils to avoid irritating the skin.

The skin may feel dry or tight after laser treatment. Timely use of fragrance-free moisturizing lotions, gels, masks, and essences can help repair the skin barrier and repair it faster.

Within 24-48 hours after surgery, try to avoid touching water or sweating for a long time to avoid infection or aggravated irritation.

If there are scabs after the operation, let them fall off naturally. Do not peel them off with your hands to avoid scars or pigmentation.

Everyone's skin condition is different, and maintenance procedures should be adjusted according to your doctor's recommendations, including whether specific ointments or follow-up visits are needed.
