What can be done about the凹坑 (indentations) left after laser mole removal?
Disease description:
I am a 26-year-old young woman who has recently encountered a troubling issue after attempting to remove moles from my face. I used laser treatment to remove several moles, but unfortunately, it has left behind several noticeable indentations, causing me great distress and feelings of self-consciousness. I would like to know if there are any effective methods available to repair these indentations and restore smoothness to my skin?

Laser nevus removal is a common cosmetic procedure that uses a high-energy laser beam to instantly break down the mole tissue, achieving the effect of mole removal. However, pits may sometimes remain after treatment, which can be treated or alleviated through natural recovery, the use of growth factor products, or medication.
1. Natural Recovery
For shallow pits, natural recovery is often sufficient. Patients generally need not worry excessively, as over time, skin cells will gradually proliferate and fill in the pit, making the skin surface smoother. During this period, patients should keep the affected area dry and clean to prevent infection.
2. Use of Growth Factor Products
To accelerate the healing of the pit, patients may use products containing growth factors, such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) gels or sprays, under a physician's guidance. These products can promote skin cell proliferation and differentiation, thus speeding up the filling and smoothing of the pit.
3. Medication Treatment
If the pit remains noticeable after the scab has fallen off, topical scar treatment medications may be applied to inhibit scar formation and further promote the flattening of the pit.
In daily life, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, such as avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, ensuring adequate sleep, and maintaining a balanced diet, can all contribute to healthier skin and promote wound healing.
