What are the precautions after ultrasonic knife surgery

Ultrasonic knife is a widely used beauty project, and its beauty and skin beautification effects are faster. Generally, after ultrasonic knife surgery, you should pay attention to sun protection to prevent melanin precipitation due to sunlight and affect the effect, avoid contact with high temperature environment, and eat a light diet. Choose skin care products that are gentle and do not harm the skin. The face cleanser should be gentle, not too cold or too hot, which will irritate the skin. So what should we pay attention to after ultrasonic scalpel surgery?

1. Wash your face

Many friends may not know that precautions after ultrasonic knife surgery include not washing your face with too cold or too hot water. The face after ultrasonic knife surgery is more fragile than usual. Some friends are more sensitive to external stimuli. When the ultrasonic knife machine is not advanced and cannot feedback the energy strength, they may experience redness, swelling, rash, tingling, and numbness after the operation. Therefore, when washing your face, you must pay attention to the water not being too cold or too hot.

2. Skin care products

Do not use irritating skin care products (such as those containing fruit acid, A acid, high concentration of L-VC, arbutin, etc.) within one week after treatment. This is because the working principle of the ultrasonic knife is to convert sound energy into heat energy, causing aging cells to vibrate and thus die, and new cells to grow in the process of self-repair, which can solve the phenomenon of facial aging to a certain extent. Therefore, the first second after the ultrasonic knife operation is when the replacement of old and new cells begins. At this time, the face cannot withstand excessive chemical stimulation. In addition, skin care products such as fruit acid and A acid with whitening effect will affect the stratum corneum to a certain extent.

In addition, after the ultrasonic scalpel surgery, you should also be careful not to use new skin care products (including facial cleansers). This is because the skin after the ultrasonic scalpel surgery is more fragile than before. In order to reduce the risk of skin injury and allergies again, the doctor will recommend that the patient pay attention to simplifying the skin care products after the ultrasonic scalpel surgery and only use some medical moisturizing skin care products.

3. Sun protection

Anyone who has had an ultrasonic scalpel knows that the doctor will advise the patient to pay attention to sun protection within a week, and try to cover their face with a mask or umbrella when going out. In addition, they can choose a low-irritation sunscreen with SPF30 or above. This is because ultraviolet rays will cause more melanin deposition in the skin, which can easily darken the skin tone. Many people experience darker spots after surgery because they did not do any sun protection.

4. High temperature environment

Friends who have received ultrasonic knife treatment may have heard the doctor say that they should avoid exposing themselves to high temperature environments within a week, including saunas, heated environments, and hot spring pools. Also, be careful to avoid things that can heat up your body or parts of your body. For example, perming or dyeing your hair, or doing strenuous exercise. In addition, be careful not to go swimming within 7 days after ultrasonic scalpel treatment, because the water in the swimming pool contains many bacteria, which is not conducive to the recovery of the face after ultrasonic scalpel treatment and may prolong the recovery time. Therefore, after ultrasonic scalpel surgery, be careful to avoid high temperature environments, strenuous exercise and environments that may be contaminated with bacteria.

5. Lifestyle and diet

Try to avoid smoking, drinking, and eating spicy food within six months after ultrasonic knife treatment. This is because although the ultrasonic knife is not a real "surgery", it also exerts its surgical effect by accelerating cell apoptosis and regeneration, and has a certain impact on facial muscles, fascia, and moisturizing layer. Smoking, drinking and spicy food can easily cause side effects after ultrasonic knife treatment and lead to inflammation. Therefore, doctors will recommend that people who have undergone ultrasonic scalpel surgery pay attention to eating a light diet and avoid smoking and drinking.

6. Pay attention to the surgical site

In addition to the above five points to note after ultrasonic scalpel surgery, the patient also needs to observe the recovery of the operated area every day. Generally, the effect of ultrasonic scalpel surgery will gradually appear 1-3 months after surgery. However, if you notice any abnormal reactions on your face or other treated areas after the ultrasound scalpel surgery, such as blisters, redness, swelling, stinging, etc., you should promptly report this to your doctor.
