This is an explanation of why post-stain tape is necessary. If you are worried about whether the tape is noticeable ...... or think it is a hassle to reapply it every day, this is a must-see. In this article, we will introduce not only the reasons for applying tape after spot removal, but also how to properly manage the tape together. Self-care tips after spot removal laser are also explained, so if you are concerned about post-treatment care, please refer to this article.
Why tape after stain removal?
It is common practice to tape the affected area after a spot removal laser treatment. So what happens if you do not tape the area? First, let's check out the reasons for applying tape after laser spot removal.
Accelerate recovery of affected areas
Applying tape after blemish removal is believed to speed up the recovery of the affected area. After spot removal laser irradiation, the skin is in a mildly burned state. Weakened skin in the affected area tends to dry out easily and is very delicate. Therefore, tape is applied after treatment,Keep the treatment area moist.and heal in a shorter time than if the dry scabs were left in place.
Protects the affected area from UV rays and friction
前述のとおり、シミ取りレーザー照射後の肌は、バリア機能が低下していてとても敏感。そのため、ふだんは気にならないようなわずかな摩擦など、些細な刺激にも弱くなっています。
とりわけ、シミ取りレーザー後の紫外線はNG。せっかくシミ取りをしても、ダウンタイム中に患部が紫外線を浴びると、色素沈着の原因になってしまいます。そのため、シミ取り治療後に摩擦や紫外線から患部を守れるテープを貼って保護することが重要なのです。
Easy to manage the affected area
The skin barrier function has been reduced, and the face cannot be used as usual after spot removal, not only for makeup, but even for washing the face. If you wash your face without applying the tape, there is a possibility that the affected area will be stained or damaged. Therefore, by applying the tape to the affected area, it is possible to apply makeup and wash the face over the tape,Less likely to affect the skinThe first is the
Different types of lasers and different areas of the body require different types of tape after blemish removal.
Basically, in most cases, tape is applied after blemish removal, but depending on the type of laser and the area or areas of blemish removal, tape may not be applied. Let's check the characteristics and downtime of each type of laser used for blemish treatment.
Q-switched ruby laser
Q-switched Ruby laser is,Treatment methods developed for the removal of spots and birthmarksThe damage caused by the treatment is relatively large, because even a single treatment is powerful enough to improve the spots. Basically, tape is often applied after the treatment, but in some cases, depending on the situation and wishes of the treated person, tape may not be applied. However, in such cases, Vaseline or ointment must be applied instead of tape to protect the affected area.
Q-switched YAG laser
The Q-switched YAG laser is used by many cosmetic dermatologists as a device for treating blemishes. By combining lasers of different wavelengths, it irradiates not only the shallow layers of the skin, but also the deeper layers,Extensive approachIt is possible. However, because the laser is irradiated at a powerful output, damage to the skin tends to be significant. Therefore, tape is required to protect the affected area after treatment.
laser toning
Laser toning is a type of Q-switched YAG laser. By irradiating areas of concern, such as dull skin and blemishes caused by sunburn,Expected to reduce uneven skin tone and improve skin toneIt is possible to use a laser beam to remove the skin. One of the features of this treatment is that it is less stressful on the skin because it can be output at a lower power than general laser treatment. Redness and itching may occur during downtime, but can be handled with pain relief packs or other means without taping.
picolaser
The picolaser can emit light in picoseconds, which is one trillionth of a second, and acts on fine melanin pigments that are difficult to approach with pinpoint accuracy. Compared to conventional laser devices, the thermalLow damageOne of the features of this treatment is that it is very easy to perform. Downtime is also minimal, so make-up can be applied without tape after treatment.
Proper use of tape applied after stain removal
シミ取り後のテープは、種類によってダウンタイム中の交換頻度や使い方が異なります。サージカルテープやばんそうこうのようなタイプは、毎日貼り替えをしなければならず、軟膏の塗布も欠かせません。
一方、シミ治療専用のテープであれば、頻繁に貼り替える必要はありません。テープをはがすタイミングはクリニックの方針や治療した部位によって異なりますが、顔であれば最低でも2週間ほどが目安です。
ただし、クリニックや治療方法によって、施術後に使用するテープの種類や管理方法が異なります。必ず治療したクリニックで、アフターケアの仕方を確認しましょう。
Self-care is key during downtime for laser spot removal.
In addition to keeping the tape on, self-care during downtime is the key to enhancing the effectiveness of the blemish removal laser. Finally, let's review how to spend downtime after spot removal.
Use medications and tapes as directed by the clinic.
To protect sensitive skin after treatment, medications and tapes must be used properly to protect the affected area. As mentioned above, aftercare methods vary depending on the device used, the treatment, and the clinic's policies. Follow the clinic's instructions and use the tape or medication correctly.
Avoid touching the treatment area.
It is important to avoid irritating the skin as much as possible after the treatment, which is delicate. Try to avoid touching the treated area as much as possible. If tape is applied after treatment, makeup and face washing can be done, but it is recommended to choose items that contain skin-friendly ingredients.
Take precautions against ultraviolet rays.
Ultraviolet rays are the enemy of post-treatment skin. Exposure to ultraviolet rays during downtime can cause hyperpigmentation even after the removal of spots. Therefore, take thorough precautions against UV rays, even in winter. If you are concerned that cream-type sunscreens may irritate the affected area, we recommend using a hat, face cover, arm cover, or parasol to physically block UV rays.
Avoid saunas and other places that make you sweat a lot.
After stain removal, it is safe to avoid activities that cause a lot of sweating. Sweat can cause irritation to the skin, such as stinging in the affected area. Also, the redness will not recede due to increased blood circulation,Possibility of prolonged downtimeThere are also Therefore, after treatment, avoid long baths and saunas, and limit physical activity to light exercise.
Don't force the scab off.
Forcibly peeling off the scab after blemish removal treatment is strictly prohibited. Forcibly removing a scab can cause the affected area to become inflamed, resulting in hyperpigmentation and scarring. Although you may be concerned about the healing scab, leave it as it is.
