How to Take Care of the Skin after Co2 Laser Resurfacing Treatment?

Co2 fractional laser is based on focal photo-thermal effects. Using a scanning hand-piece, the laser emits many small and uniform beams of light, which, after acting on the skin, produce many three-dimensional columnar thermal injury zones of uniform size and uniform arrangement. These columnar thermal injury zones will stimulate the skin to start the process of preventing programmed wound tissue healing, promote the regeneration and reconstruction of the entire layer of skin tissue. A superlative co2 laser resurfacing machine brings very good effects of scar repair, local tightening, and skin rejuvenation.

How to Take Care of the Skin after Co2 Laser Resurfacing Treatment?

1. Do cold compress within 24 hours after Co2 Laser Resurfacing Treatment

After laser treatment, there will still be heat in the skin tissue, and the skin will have slight redness, swelling, burning sensation and other reactions. It is necessary to use medical cold compress or ice pack to cool down in time to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Avoid entering the sweat steam room and strenuous exercise during this period.

2. Can I wash my skin after treatment?

3-7 days after laser surgery, the skin will scab. At this stage, avoid getting it wet or rubbing it to avoid infection or pigmentation. If you need to clean the skin, you can pat it with saline or sterile water.

3. How to care for the wound?

After scabbing, carefully protect the wound surface of the treatment area (do not squeeze, press, or touch), keep the wound surface clean, and use solutions/gels that promote epidermal growth. You can use a repairing medical mask every day until the scab grows and falls off naturally.

4. What should I pay attention to in my diet after Co2 laser treatment?

The diet should be light and easy to digest. Avoid smoking and drinking. Eat more foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E and trace elements of zinc to promote the metabolism of melanin in the body.

5. What should I pay attention to after scabbing?

The skin will be drier and more sensitive just after scabbing, and needs moisturizing. At the same time, pay attention to sun protection, avoid direct sunlight or ultraviolet stimulation, and use high-multiple sunscreen or wear a hat, mask and other physical isolation.
