Is summer not suitable for phototherapy? Will the skin become "anti-dark" after all? Medical reminder: If you don't do one thing well, you may lose both people and money.
Summer is the time of the year when ultraviolet rays are strongest. For beauty lovers, it can be said to be a “formidable enemy”. Faced with acne scars, dullness, pigmentation, and sun spots on the face, no matter how thick makeup is applied, they can hide them. , still can’t beat the speed of makeup removal in the sultry summer. If you want to make improvements through medical aesthetics, but are you worried that the “phototherapy laser” treatment will be too intense and may damage the skin?
Dr. Wu Minxiu of Yuezhen Medical Aesthetic Clinic said that in fact, as long as you choose the right course of treatment and do your best to moisturize and protect yourself from the sun, you can still say goodbye to annoying skin problems in summer.
Two key things after surgery are needed regardless of the season!
As medical cosmetology becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are dozens of laser machines on the market, leaving people confused and confused as to where to choose. Dr. Wu Minxiu pointed out that whether it is the well-known picosecond laser, skin-cleansing laser, pulsed light, yellow laser, Tiktok laser, etc. They all help solve the problems of pore shrinkage, dark pigmentation, dark acne scars, spots or dullness caused by chronic inflammation of the face, as well as the whitening problem that modern people are most concerned about.
No matter which treatment you choose, you must moisturize and protect yourself from the sun, and you should make it a habit regardless of the season or the intensity of ultraviolet rays. In terms of moisturizing, you should pay attention to avoiding the use of irritating, acidic, and pigmented products for one week after the operation, because the laser treatment will give appropriate wavelengths and depths according to different skin problems, destroying and rebuilding the skin. Within a week after the operation, the skin is in a relatively fragile state, so it is not suitable to use irritating products. Instead, you should focus on repairing it with mild ingredients and simple ingredients.
Myth 1: Winter is more suitable for phototherapy and laser surgery: sun protection is suitable for all seasons!
Whenever I want to have laser surgery in the summer, there are many people around me who advise “don’t waste money and wait until winter.” This is because they are worried about the ultraviolet rays that will “return the improved skin quality to its original shape.” Dr. Wu Minxiu believes that official data shows that the temperature in Taiwan has increased by 1.5 degrees over the past century, and summers will only be longer in the future, which means that the intensity of ultraviolet rays will only continue to increase, causing skin damage to gradually no longer distinguish between seasons.
“The only key is to protect your fragile skin from further damage by doing “sun protection”!” Dr. Wu Minxiu pointed out that regardless of whether you receive laser treatment or not, as long as your skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, it may cause dullness; not to mention that the skin condition after laser surgery is even worse. To be sensitive. At this time, sun protection measures are the top priority. It is recommended that the public choose sunscreen lotion with SPF50 and PA+++ sun protection levels. You can also bring a thin coat or hat for physical sun protection.
Myth 2: Will laser treatment in summer make you black? Doctor: Wavelength is the key!
It is also an urban legend that is often heard that “laser treatment in the summer will reduce blackness”; Dr. Wu Minxiu emphasized: “Of course you can have laser treatment in the summer, but the choice should be as much as possible to choose a treatment with a “low recovery period”!” According to the most popular among modern people, The preferred picosecond laser used to be more powerful. Today, treatments are increasingly gentle and have a low recovery period. This is obviously related to the current trend of medical aesthetics.
Dr. Wu Minxiu said that some people will be obsessed with the matching of honeycomb probes, but honeycomb picoseconds will produce a repair period. The key lies in “wavelength” and “demand”. The wavelength selection ranges from 532nm, 755nm to 1,064nm, so here Special attention needs to be paid to this aspect. If you don’t want to cause open wounds on your skin and just want to do daily maintenance and whitening, you can choose to focus on the wavelength of 755nm.
Myth 3: The skin becomes thinner after laser treatment in summer? Physician: It has to do with energy
The skin thickness after laser treatment is closely related to the pre-assessment and energy intensity applied. Dr. Wu Minxiu said that professional clinics will first use a skin tester. Through the data of the machine, the attributes of the skin can be objectively understood. According to observations, the skin condition of many patients is significantly affected by external environmental factors, and those with sensitive skin The number of people also increased.
Dr. Wu Minxiu pointed out that if you belong to the sensitive skin group, whether it is Picoseconds or any treatment, the energy is not “the higher, the better”, but the focus should be on “nourishing the skin”, because if the skin quality is not well maintained, any treatment will It’s all about “losing both people and money”. Overall. Faced with the menacing ultraviolet rays, if you want to undergo any treatment, you should seek communication and consultation with a professional doctor in advance; you should also follow the doctor’s instructions to moisturize and protect yourself from the sun after surgery to avoid accelerated aging due to anti-darkness, and failure to maintain it will cost your wife and soldiers.
