Chuseok, our Korean Thanksgiving, often falls in mid-September and gives us a much-needed 4 to 5-day break. For many, it’s the perfect time to focus on skin treatments, like removing spots or moles. But achieving flawless results isn’t just about the procedure—it’s all about the aftercare.
Kビューティ愛好家の皆さん、こんにちは！
Procedures like Excel V, Erbium, and CO2 lasers are highly effective for mole removal, pigmentation, and flat wart treatments.
At dermatology clinics, some clients come in with a pre-decided treatment plan due to past experiences of being overly pressured by sales reps, but it’s important to understand that for the best results, clinics need to evaluate your skin in person.
However, while dermatologists tailor laser types to your skin’s needs, the real magic happens with consistent, proper aftercare.
これらのレーザーは、 軽度の熱損傷を引き起こし、かさぶたの形成と治癒をもたらすか、あるいは回復を促進するために皮膚の表面的な 病変を 削り取る。
最良の結果を得るためには、適切なアフターケアが重要です。治療部位は紫外線から守り、水に濡らさないようにしてください。また、傷口が完全に治る前にビタミンを含む美白化粧品を使用することは、不要な色素沈着を引き起こす可能性があるため、避けることが大切です。
レーザー治療後の治癒を早める治療法として、皮膚科クリニックが一般的に行っているものをいくつか紹介しよう：
1. Cooling and Soothing Therapies
Clinics often use cooling devices, cold compresses, and LED therapy to reduce redness and promote recovery right after your treatment. Modeling masks and soothing sheet masks are also great for calming the skin.
PDRN注射
Derived from Salmon DNA, Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) injections enhance tissue repair and reduce inflammation, especially for larger lesions. It’s one of the most popular post-laser treatments in Korea for its regenerative benefits.

念のためお伝えしておくが、私はこれらの企業や製品とは正式なつながりはないが、時折利用しているし、クライアントにもよく勧めている！
Top Picks for At-Home Aftercare
1. Regenerative Ointment: Dermafactor
Formulated with G4PRF-300™, a peptide complex that includes 26 growth factors and over 300 proteins, this product accelerates healing and minimizes irritation after laser treatments.
A great option for soothing redness and repairing skin barriers.
2. Regenerative Cream: AESTURA Atobarrier 365 Cream
It features the ‘Triple Lipid-Capsule’ technology, combining Ceramide, Fatty Acid, and Cholesterol. These ingredients work together to repair and reinforce the skin’s protective barrier and hydration.
I highly recommend this cream as a substitute wound dressing to use after laser treatments, once the protective patch has fallen off. This is because it helps locking in moisture and shielding the skin from stressors.
3. Hydrocolloid Patch: ZY-NU Comfo Care
ほとんどのクリニックでは、レーザー治療後にデュオダームを使用することが多く、治療部位に合わせてカットする。しかし、その強力な粘着力は、東アジア人の敏感な肌を刺激することがある。
That’s why I prefer using ZY-NU Comfo Care spot patches, made from high-quality hydrocolloid material, as a alternative. Ideal for absorbing impurities and preventing infections. Unlike traditional DuoDERM, it’s gentler on sensitive skin and reduces the risk of pigmentation.
It’s important to change the patch once it turns white, as this indicates it has absorbed excess moisture from the wound. Unlike patches containing whitening agents or other active ingredients, which may worsen the laser-treated skin or cause pigmentation issues, simple hydrocolloid patches are ideal for laser aftercare.
Switch to lotion once the oozing stops, but keep sunscreen handy to protect the healing area.
Final Thoughts
Laser spot treatments can work wonders for your skin, but the long-term results depend on how well you take care of it at home. From UV protection to choosing the right products, every step counts in ensuring a successful recovery.
Pro Tip: Keep your post-treatment products simple, hydrating, and protective. For optimal results, trust your dermatologist’s recommendations and stay consistent with aftercare.
When it comes to lesions that require laser treatment, repeated sessions are often necessary. Consistent aftercare between treatments plays a crucial role in achieving the best results over time.
I hope this guide helps you feel confident about your laser treatment recovery journey!
Stay radiant and glowing,
