[Optimization of the healing process after laser procedure, except photorejuvenation]

The use of Lasers in dermatology implies a crucial follow-up in order to optimize the final result and avoid any side effects. With the use of ablative laser devices, the initial phase is characterized by the development of crusts. These crusts necessitate the application of sterile ointments (regularly repeated throughout the day) as well as an antibiotic ointment two times a day. In a second step, comes a secondary inflammatory state, in the dermis, which is generally observed at the outset of all other laser treatments. The main purpose is to avoid it from being too sustained over time, but also to prevent the occurrence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Obviously, a solar eviction will be strongly recommended. The risk being maximized with dark phototypes, the choice of the Laser, as well as its specific parameters will be specific and decisive.
