(Question) Will the dark spots recur after the Repot Laser?

(질문) 리팟레이저 후 흑자 재발일까요?

I had been troubled by the dark spots on my face, so I recently received a Repot laser treatment. I was self-conscious about the noticeable spots whenever I applied makeup, and since they were the first thing that stood out in photos, I decided to have them removed. After a consultation, I was told that the Repot laser is effective for removing dark spots, so I proceeded with the procedure.

Immediately after the procedure, a scab formed, and I went about my daily life with the Duoderm bandage applied as instructed by the clinic. After about two weeks, I removed the Duoderm, and the dark spots on the treated area had been removed so cleanly that they were barely visible. I was very satisfied every time I looked in the mirror, and I thought they had really disappeared well.

 

However, the problem was what happened after that.
About a month after the procedure, a very light brown color started to appear where the dark spot used to be. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it might just be discoloration, but as time passed, I felt like the color was getting darker little by little. It isn't as dark as it was before the procedure, but I'm worried that it might reappear.

 

So, I am working hard to manage it in my own way to prevent a recurrence.

First of all, I am paying close attention to UV protection. I apply SPF50+ sunscreen 30 minutes before going out, and if I am out for a long time, I reapply it every 2 to 3 hours. I also use a hat and a parasol to minimize sun exposure as much as possible.

 

I am also making an effort to minimize skin irritation. I avoid rubbing the treated area or using exfoliating products, and I wash my face gently with foam. I am also refraining from using scrubs or peeling products for the time being.

 

Lastly, I am paying close attention to moisturizing care to prevent hyperpigmentation. I am consistently applying regenerating and moisturizing creams, and I am diligently staying hydrated to prevent my skin from drying out. I am also trying to sleep as regularly as possible.

 

Even though I am taking good care of it, I am worried because the brown areas seem to be getting more visible in the treated area. Has anyone else experienced dark spots reappearing about a month after having them removed with a Repot laser, just like me? I am wondering if this is an actual recurrence or just a temporary process of hyperpigmentation.

 

If this is a temporary phenomenon, please share how managing it helped, and if there are any methods you found effective to prevent recurrence. I would also appreciate your opinion on whether the situation warrants a return visit to the hospital.

    흑자 치료 위해 레이저 시행후 일시적으로 색소침착 가능성은 있습니다. 피부가 자극을 받은 뒤에 회복하는 과정에서 멜라닌이 다시 증가하면서 발생하는데 보습과 자외선 차단제 철저하게 발랐는데도 색소침착이 보이네요. 현재 상태를 봐도 색소침착이 어느정도 보이니 피부과 가서 다시 진료 보는것이 좋겠네요

    시술 후 한 달 정도 지나 옅은 갈색이 다시 보인다면 꼭 재발이라고 단정하기는 어렵다고 하더라고요. 레이저 후에는 일시적인 염증 후 색소침착으로 비슷하게 보이는 경우도 있어서 시간이 지나면서 옅어지는 분들도 있습니다.
    
    말씀하신 것처럼 자외선 차단과 보습을 꾸준히 하는 게 가장 중요하고, 시술 부위를 자극하지 않는 것도 도움이 된다고 해요. 다만 색이 점점 진해지거나 범위가 넓어지는 느낌이라면 재발 가능성도 확인해야 하니, 시술받은 병원에 한 번 방문해서 경과를 보는 게 좋을 것 같습니다.
