I often receive inquiries from patients and friends: What should I do if there is anti-blackness after laser ** coffee spots? Today, Luo Yan, a doctor at Shanghai Huashan Hospital, told patients that there is no need to pay special attention to the anti-blackness after the laser.

Why is there an anti-black situation? Because laser freckle removal uses a high-energy laser beam to act on the deep pigment tissue, break it up and discharge it from the body, so as to achieve the effect of removing pigmentation. After laser freckle removal, because the metabolism of pigment takes a certain amount of time, some people will have a temporary anti-dark phenomenon, which is clinically called"Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation"., the original pigmentation may appear darker.

Usually, this anti-black phenomenonNo special handling is required, but the following post-operative care must be done after the laser:

1. Try not to let the wound get wet for 1 week after surgery to prevent infection.

2. The scab will generally fall off naturally in 1-2 weeks, so be sure not to pick it before that to prevent color pigmentation.

3. Sun protection is very important within 3 months after surgery. Do a good job of physical sun protection, try to go out as much as possible, especially do not go out at noon and other times when the sun radiation is strong. Take precautions when you go out.

4. After surgery, you need to eat more fruits, and you can also supplement vitamin C and vitamin E to promote melanin metabolism.

5. Avoid using irritating products in the ** area to reduce the additional damage to **.
