Will laser spot removal leave any marks?
Laser pigmentation removal works by utilizing the photothermal effect of the laser to precisely shatter the pigment particles in the pigmented area, allowing the body to metabolize and absorb them, thereby removing the pigmentation. The general reference price for laser pigmentation removal is 1000–4500 yuan per session, and visible improvement is usually observed within one to three months. If the procedure is properly performed and the individual has good skin condition, laser pigmentation removal generally leaves no marks. However, improper operation or having a scar-prone constitution may result in scarring. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital for consultation and follow medical instructions during the procedure.
If the pigmentation is shallow, the treatment energy is precisely controlled, the skin's self-repairing ability is normal, and proper post-treatment care is provided, then no marks are generally left, and the skin can recover to a relatively smooth and even state. It is recommended to maintain skin cleanliness and apply proper sun protection measures in daily life to help improve the condition.
However, if the pigmentation is deep and covers a large area, multiple high-energy laser treatments may be required, increasing the risk of skin damage and possibly causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which results in temporary darkening of the skin. Improper operation during the treatment, such as excessive laser energy leading to burns, may also cause scarring. Additionally, individuals with a scar-prone constitution are more likely to develop marks.
In daily life, it is recommended to wear sun hats, apply sunscreen when outdoors, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to promote overall skin health.
