How long after laser spot removal can I wash my face?

It is generally possible to wash your face around one day after laser pigmentation removal.

Laser pigmentation removal is a common cosmetic procedure that uses high-energy laser light to break down pigment particles in the skin, thereby achieving the effect of removing pigmentation. After treatment, there will be some degree of surface skin damage, and symptoms such as mild redness, swelling, and crusting may occur. The timing for washing the face should take into account several factors, including the type of laser used, the extent of skin damage, the area of pigmentation, post-operative care, and environmental conditions.

Generally, starting from the second day after treatment, you may gently wash your face with lukewarm water, avoiding the treated areas. Around one week later, once the skin has fully crusted over and the scabs have naturally fallen off, you can gradually resume your regular facial cleansing routine. However, to avoid irritating the skin, it is recommended to use a mild, non-irritating cleanser for the first two weeks after treatment, and to wash your face gently without rubbing or applying excessive pressure on the treated areas.

It is advisable to visit a reputable hospital and undergo laser pigmentation removal under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure its safety and effectiveness. After treatment, you should also avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect your skin until it has fully recovered.
