I want to get a pigment laser treatment for my blemishes, but since I exercise frequently, I'm wondering if it's okay to sweat. Does going to the gym or running immediately after the procedure cause a lot of irritation? I'm worried that the pigmentation might get darker. I'd like to know how those who have had the treatment managed their aftercare.

- 02CommentsIt must be really bothersome to see dark spots on your cheekbones deepen in the fall as pigmentation from summer UV rays surfaces. While Vitamin C serum helps with whitening, its acidity can make your skin sensitive for about 2-3 days right before or after laser treatment, so I recommend taking a break and focusing on applying gentle moisturizing and soothing creams. Pico Toning is usually done consistently every 1-2 weeks to improve tone, but if you tell them your current home care routine during your consultation, they will safely adjust it to suit your skin thickness. :)220026.11.05

If I get laser treatment for blemishes while going to school, how long do the scabs or redness last?[4]
CommentsFirst off, I would like to say that it is truly impressive that you are managing to schedule your procedure while going to work. I fully understand your concerns, as I have heard that pigmentation often flares up after pregnancy. Since scabbing occurs depending on the type of laser and recovery periods vary, I suggest asking during your consultation if scheduling the procedure on Friday for the skin to subside over the weekend works for you, and when you can start wearing makeup. Because the reaction to melasma can vary, scheduling the treatments in separate sessions rather than doing everything at once might be a good approach. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope for great results!200026.11.05
- 01CommentsI think it would be less of a burden if I could start with a small scope. That is a good question.570026.11.04
- 02CommentsI understand your desire to make a decision after understanding the frequency and costs. Could I also receive written guidance on the settlement criteria if I change the plan midway?750026.10.30
- 03CommentsEven for a small brown area next to the nose, it is difficult to distinguish between a mole, freckle, or other pigmentation based solely on a photo, so please get a medical examination first. Providing information on when the spots increased, previous photos, and the products you used will be helpful for the consultation. For areas prone to redness, it would be beneficial to check not only the type of pigmentation but also the current state of irritation, and to receive guidance on criteria for postponing laser treatments and moisturizing methods.840026.11.02
