How to repair the dimples left after laser mole removal?

Starry moles sometimes not only affect the face, but also may become malignant and life-threatening, so various means of mole removal have emerged. From surgical mole removal, chemical corrosion, freezing treatment, to laser treatment, mole removal has become easier and easier, and the recovery time of the wounds after mole removal has been gradually shortened. However, sometimes, due to factors such as improper choice of method or poor post-operative care, moles are removed, but unsightly pits are left behind, which brings distress to many beauty seekers. So, what should be done to repair the pits left by laser mole spotting and how to prevent the appearance of pits? There are many ways to repair pits after laser nevus, so you need to understand and choose the right one. 1.Self-repair If patients who have just done laser mole spotting in the early stage and have not reached 1 month or even less than 1 week feel that they have local pits, they do not need to be too anxious, most of these pits can gradually grow flat with time, and generally recover on their own in 3~6 months. 2.Medication For people with poor personal constitution and ability to repair the trauma, you can use epidermal growth factor gel or spray after laser mole spotting, which is good for local repair. In addition, if there are still depressions after the scabs fall off, it is recommended to continue to use epidermal growth factor to promote repair, usually the depressions will become flatter, then you can cooperate with the application of drugs for scar treatment to inhibit the formation of scar, and the depressions can be flattened after about 2~3 months. 3.Fractional laser If the skin damage is too serious, causing collagen deficiency in the subcutaneous tissue of the surrounding normal skin, the skin sinks after the wound heals and a depressed scar is formed. After active treatment, pits still appear after 2~3 months, then you can go to regular medical aesthetic institutions to repair the pits by fractional laser, including the treatment of exfoliative fractional laser and non-exfoliative fractional laser, and also the treatment of filler, such as filling collagen. However, the treatment period may be longer, taking about 1~2 years. 4.Subcutaneous peeling surgery If the pits are relatively deep and the effect of fractional laser treatment is also unsatisfactory, it is recommended that the candidate can undergo subcutaneous peeling and at the same time inject a small amount of autologous serum or fat gel, which is beneficial to promote repair. The currently available treatment options are listed here, but it takes several months at the shortest. Therefore, instead of waiting for the appearance of pits and then treating them, it is better to take good care of the pits before they appear to avoid them. First of all, after laser mole removal, the wound is in the recovery period, so if infection occurs due to improper care, local necrosis of skin tissue and ulcers are formed, and if they do not heal for a long time, scars will be easily left. Secondly, for a period of time before the scar is fully formed, the wound and its surrounding area will be very itchy, so that people cannot help but pick and scratch, thus leading to the appearance of pits. Therefore, to avoid the appearance of pits, you need to pay attention to the following points: (1) The main thing is to control yourself and not to tear the healing scab or scratch the wound with your hands during the recovery period. (2) Care should be taken to keep the local wound clean and dry, and medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor if necessary. (3) If you want to take overall care of the face, such as applying a mask, it is best to wait until the wound is drier, and you should use a special mask with a clear repair function for medical aesthetics. (4) You should avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods, and pay attention to good sun screen when you go out, etc. No treatment can be 100% risk-free or achieve results that satisfy all patients, so all we can do is to follow medical advice and take good care to minimize the possibility of bad results!
