Can I take care of my skin after finishing the dot matrix laser

After completing the dot matrix laser, skincare can generally be done, but it is necessary to avoid irritating skincare products and strictly follow postoperative care requirements. Dot matrix laser promotes skin repair through minimally invasive stimulation. After surgery, the skin barrier is temporarily fragile, and medical repair products should be selected to assist in recovery.

It is recommended to use only sterile physiological saline for cleaning within 24 hours after operation to avoid friction or use of skin care products containing alcohol and essence. After 3 days, gradually use medical dressings containing hyaluronic acid and ceramide to help moisturize and repair. Do not use exfoliating, whitening, or acidic products within one week to prevent irritation of the wound. The basic skin care can be recovered after 2 weeks according to the doctor's assessment, but it is still necessary to avoid excessive cleaning or frequent use of facial mask. If there is persistent redness, swelling, exudation or allergic reaction after surgery, all skincare products should be stopped immediately and medical attention should be sought. Some people may develop secondary infections due to skin sensitivity or improper postoperative care. In this case, it is necessary to suspend skincare and use antibiotic ointments such as mupirocin ointment and fusidic acid cream according to medical advice to control inflammation.

After surgery, strict sun protection is required, and physical sunscreen such as zinc oxide products should be preferred to avoid pigmentation. During the recovery period, it is advisable to supplement with vitamin C and high-quality protein to promote collagen synthesis. It is recommended to avoid activities that may irritate the skin, such as sauna and swimming, within one month after surgery. The skincare steps should be simplified to three steps: cleaning, moisturizing, and sun protection, to avoid adding too many functional products.
