Laser acne scar recovery process

With the advancement of medical technology, there are now many ways to remove acne scars. In order to quickly get rid of the influence of acne scars, many people choose laser acne removal. Laser acne removal usually takes only about 10 minutes to clean up, but it takes a certain amount of time to recover, usually about 10 days, and attention should be paid to skin protection during the recovery process.

How long does it take to recover from laser acne scar removal?

The basic recovery period for laser acne scar removal is about 10-14 days, and complete recovery takes 3 months. The reason why it takes 3 months to fully recover from laser acne scar removal is mainly because the effective process of laser acne scar removal is to first destroy the skin at the acne scar site, allowing the skin to regenerate collagen on its own to remove the acne scar. Therefore, it takes some time to recover after laser acne removal.

What is the recovery process of laser acne scar removal?

The recovery process of laser acne scar removal is 0-2 days: the early stage will be ugly and difficult, because in the two days after laser acne scar removal, the skin will be full of wounds and there will be red marks on the face. However, it should be noted that the scabs left by laser acne treatment cannot be removed by yourself, as this will affect the recovery of the wound and even bring in new bacteria, leading to pigmentation.

The recovery process of laser acne scar removal is 4-5 days: this stage is mainly the time for the scabs of laser acne scars to soften and fall off. The skin is slowly repairing itself, and the most important thing at this time is sun protection. When going out, be sure to apply sunscreen and take a parasol, and never expose yourself to the sun. Because once exposed to ultraviolet rays, laser acne removal will cause pigmentation and the skin color will darken.

The recovery process of laser acne scar removal is 6-14 days: the skin may temporarily darken during this stage, but don’t worry, because after 3 months of full recovery, the darker color will gradually fade away. If you are worried about the darkening of your skin tone, girls can use functional skin care products such as Xinsui to maintain their skin. However, functional skin care products can only be used with the consent of the surgeon.

What should I pay attention to during the recovery period of laser acne treatment?

1. After laser acne scar removal, you need to avoid drinking milk and eating sweets, because high-sugar foods will cause the insulin level in the blood to rise, which will eventually cause excessive keratinization of the epidermis and increased sebum secretion, eventually leading to acne (also known as pimples). The casein in milk protects IGF-1 from being destroyed by digestive enzymes, indirectly promoting the development of acne inflammation (pimples) and sebum secretion.

2. In order to avoid pigmentation, you need to use medical sunscreen to strictly protect yourself from the sun for 1 month and use a blocking type of sun protection method.

3. Mild redness and swelling of the skin 24 hours after surgery is normal. Use sterile gauze dipped in saline to clean the face. If the skin is obviously red and swollen, you can use a small amount of desonide cream twice a day for two days.

4. You can wash your face with pure water 48 hours after the operation. External use medical moisturizing water.

5. You can wash your face normally with facial cleanser 72 hours after the operation. Apply medical moisturizing water and moisturizing cream for half a month.

6. If the wound is deep (also for the treatment of warts and moles), it needs to be moistened with water 4 days after the operation.

7. After the tiny scabs fall off in 6-8 days, you can apply a moisturizing mask every other day.

8. Keep a calm mind, get rid of anxiety and tension, and ensure adequate sleep.
