Laser skin treatments have revolutionized how patients care for their skin and improve its appearance and health. It is one of the most requested services at Dermed Clinic of Johor Bahru, Malaysia. When you contact our practice, you can talk to Dr. Muniandi Velayuthan and his team to discuss the advantages of this treatment and other options for addressing skin imperfections. Below are the five steps to seeking treatment for the skin.
- Consultation appointment. Before undergoing laser treatment for the skin, Dr. Velayuthan and his team recommend scheduling a consultation appointment. This appointment is necessary to discuss your concerns and medical history and determine if you are a good candidate for laser treatments. During this appointment, the doctor will also explain the different types of lasers available and which would be most effective for your skin issues.
- Pre-treatment preparation. Once you have decided to undergo our laser treatments, you should take some steps to prepare for the procedure. These may include avoiding certain medications or supplements known to thin the blood and avoiding sun exposure and tanning beds for a couple of weeks before treatment. You must keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water before the procedure and moisturizing your skin regularly.
- During the treatment process. Depending on the type of laser used, you may experience mild discomfort during the procedure. Most practitioners administer a topical anaesthetic to help minimize any discomfort. The length of time for each session will also vary depending on the actual size and location of the treated area. It is important to communicate with your practitioner throughout the procedure if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort.
- After-treatment care. Following your laser treatment, you are required to care for your skin as it heals properly. This may include using gentle skincare products and avoiding harsh chemicals or exfoliants until your skin fully recovers. You should also protect your skin from direct sun exposure and wear high-SPF sunblock daily to prevent any potential damage.
- Results and maintenance. Laser treatments typically require multiple sessions for optimal results and maintenance. For the best outcome, you must follow your dermatologist’s recommended treatment plan. After your initial sessions, you may need occasional touch-ups to maintain the results.
