What are the post-treatment care instructions after laser pigmentation removal?
I am 23 years old this year, and I have recently decided to undergo laser spot removal. I would like to know what precautions should be taken after undergoing laser spot removal.

In general, laser pigmentation removal is a common cosmetic skin treatment that works by targeting areas of pigmentation on the skin with laser energy, achieving the effect of removing or lightening spots. Post-operative care is important, and key considerations include avoiding direct sunlight, proper skin care, avoiding irritating foods, maintaining a regular作息 (作息 should be translated as "routine" or "lifestyle habits"), and attending follow-up appointments regularly.
After laser treatment, the skin is highly sensitive to ultraviolet rays, which can easily cause pigmentation or recurrence. Therefore, direct exposure to sunlight must be strictly avoided during the recovery period. When going outdoors, use a high SPF sunscreen and wear a sun hat or use an umbrella for protection. After laser pigmentation removal, the skin may develop slight redness or a burning sensation—this is a normal reaction. These symptoms can be relieved with appropriate cold compresses, but it is important not to press or rub the treated area forcefully. Additionally, avoid contact with water on the treated skin for a few days following the procedure to prevent infection.
During the recovery period, it is advisable to avoid consuming spicy foods, seafood, or other substances that may trigger allergic reactions or irritation, as they could interfere with wound healing. Adequate sleep and a regular作息 (routine) are essential during the recovery period after laser pigmentation removal. Avoid staying up late or overexerting yourself, as this will help support the skin's metabolism and repair processes. Follow your doctor's recommendations for regular follow-up visits to monitor treatment outcomes and skin recovery. If symptoms such as redness, pain, or other abnormal reactions occur, seek medical attention promptly.
Following the post-treatment instructions after laser pigmentation removal is very important. Patients must strictly adhere to these guidelines and actively cooperate with their doctor's recommendations in order to achieve optimal treatment results.
