Redness, edema, etc. should be explained in advance as a secondary phenomenon that may occur after the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser procedure.

 

Steroid cream should be used for 3 to 7 days if redness and edema occur.

 

If an erosion occurs, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic ointment or regenerative ointment should be used.

 

If a burn is recognized during the procedure, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drug treatment should be started immediately against the burn.

It should also be treated with drugs that help skin regeneration, such as MGF, PDRN and PRP.

 

Only then can burn lesions recover quickly, minimizing sequelae such as pigmentation or persistent redness, atrophic scars or hypertrophic scars.

 

For vascular lesions, after treatment, it is recommended to observe the loss of the lesion and the presence or absence of the remaining lesion for about 4 weeks before starting the next treatment.

 

If treated again after 1 to 2 weeks, the lesion may appear to be lost due to edema or redness, leading to passing without treatment.

 

Moreover, as the laser is not effectively absorbed into the blood vessels, energy may be used more strongly, thereby making side effects unnecessarily.

 

There are cases where although the first treatment is effective and the blood vessel is disappearing, the laser is irradiated again as it is not distinguished clearly.

 

So, the treatment interval should be 4 to 6 weeks.
