What about age spots? How to remove them? What laser methods are available? How to care for skin after removal? Let's explore below.
Lasers exploit the selective absorption of pigments by different wavelengths. Upon absorbing sufficient energy, pigment deposits break down. As the fragmented pigments are gradually reabsorbed by the body, discoloration fades.Leveraging this principle, selecting lasers with specific wavelengths for different pigments effectively treats age spots.
How to care for skin after laser age spot removal?
1. To restore natural skin texture post-treatment, strictly follow your doctor's regimen and use repair cream until skin texture fully recovers before discontinuing.
2. Apply the repair cream four times daily for the first day after treatment. Before application, thoroughly cleanse the treated area using a non-foaming cleanser free of fruit acids, soap, or therapeutic ingredients. Pat the skin completely dry with a tissue before applying the cream.
3. After age spot removal, avoid using low-quality cosmetics, skin peeling products, exfoliants, or hormone-based products.
4. For six months after laser age spot removal, refrain from exfoliation or sauna treatments. Use sunscreen during daytime hours.
5. Maintain a positive mindset after treatment, avoid excessive worry, and ensure adequate sleep to support healing.
6. After laser treatment, increase intake of foods rich in vitamins C and E or take oral vitamin C supplements. Minimize consumption of soy sauce, beef, pickled vegetables, shrimp, crab, alcohol, coffee, and other irritating foods. Avoid direct sunlight when outdoors.
