Know the care matters of photorejuvenation in advance! Photorejuvenation can effectively improve facial spots, fine lines and other blemishes, and can achieve excellent skin rejuvenation and beautification effects. However, Dr. Zhang Weihua, a dermatologist at a plastic surgery hospital, reminds us that in order to achieve the desired effect of photorejuvenation treatment, it is necessary to do a good job of post-treatment care.

Things to know about photorejuvenation care

1. After photorejuvenation treatment, you should avoid sun exposure because your skin is relatively delicate. Apply sunscreen when going out. Do not use aspirin and alcohol. Do not squeeze, press, touch or rub the treated area.

2. Avoid eating photosensitive foods and taking photosensitive medicines during the photorejuvenation treatment. People with sensitive skin should avoid foods that may cause skin allergies.

3. After photorejuvenation treatment, the skin's absorption capacity is enhanced and metabolism is accelerated, so some patients may experience dry and dehydrated skin. Therefore, skin care is required after the operation to replenish sufficient moisture and nutrition.

4. Some patients may experience local redness and swelling after receiving photorejuvenation treatment, which will generally disappear on their own within 24-72 hours and no treatment is required. A very small number of patients may develop scabs and purpura, which will fall off and disappear on their own within 2 weeks. Please keep the wound dry and clean during this period.

5. Due to individual differences in sensitivity to strong light, a very small number of patients will experience pigmentation after photorejuvenation treatment, which is usually absorbed on its own within 3-9 months.

6. Each course of treatment is divided into 1-5 times. Depending on the individual situation of the patient, some patients may need 2-3 courses of treatment. The color of the lesion area gradually fades, and the next treatment can be performed 3-4 weeks after each photorejuvenation treatment.

7. After the photorejuvenation treatment, please carefully read and follow the post-treatment instructions and the doctor's orders. If you find any concerns, please contact the treating physician in time. The physician will guide you in the correct care and treatment.
