Introduction
Generally, spot removal is mainly performed using laser technology, which targets pigment cells with concentrated laser energy of a specific wavelength to achieve the purpose of removing spots. The general reference price for laser spot removal is 2000-8000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can typically be observed within 7-30 days. After spot removal, measures to keep the treated area dry include avoiding contact with water and maintaining local cleanliness.
Generally, spot removal is primarily performed using laser technology. This involves focusing laser energy of a specific wavelength on pigment cells to achieve the purpose of removing spots. The reference price for laser spot removal is usually between 2000-8000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can generally be seen after 7-30 days. Measures to keep the treated area dry after spot removal include avoiding contact with water, maintaining local cleanliness, preventing perspiration from soaking the area, avoiding the use of oily skincare products, and ensuring a dry environment. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Avoid Contact with Water
During the wound healing period after spot removal, direct contact of the wound with water should be avoided; special care should be taken when washing the face or taking a shower.
2. Maintain Local Cleanliness
Gently wipe around the wound with a sterile cotton swab to remove secretions and dirt, but avoid directly irritating the wound.
3. Prevent Perspiration from Soaking the Area
During the healing period, try to reduce perspiration, avoid strenuous exercise or staying in high-temperature environments for prolonged periods. If excessive sweating occurs, promptly use sterile gauze to gently absorb the sweat.
4. Avoid Using Oily Skincare Products
During the wound healing period, oily skincare products such as ointments and creams should be avoided, as they may block pores and affect the wound's aeration and recovery.
5. Ensure a Dry Environment
An overly humid environment is not conducive to wound drying and healing, and may increase the risk of infection. Therefore, it is important to maintain a dry and well-ventilated indoor environment during the healing period.
If necessary, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to reduce procedural risks. Keeping the treated area dry after spot removal can promote wound healing, reduce the risk of infection, and thus facilitate proper wound recovery.
