I had Yag laser treatment for removing a large sunspot on my face, plus some small ones. Didn't get any postcare instructions and "doctor" has gone away for a week. Should I wash my face, with what? Should I put a dressing on it, or an ointment, what kind? When will the dark brown crust come off and how should I care for my skin then? All I was told is to put high SPF sunblock on daily. Thanks for any advice.
You may wash your face daily with a gentle cleanser. If your provider did not recommend a specific wash or after care product from their office you can use an over the counter product like Cetaphil or Cerave, they are great and cost effective. Keep your skin moisturized with a good fragrance free, gentle moisturizer. I highly suggest you use Aquaphor on the brown treated areas. DO NOT pick, or scrub any of your brown spots off. Let them heal and fall off on their own! Otherwise, you risk scarring. It can take 7 to 10 days on average for your skin to heal. Do not forget to use a daily sunscreen!!!
Hope this helps.

1. The doctor tells me gentle yag doesn't work on gray hair. True or false? 2. I have a very heavy, thick, hard beard, half of which is gray. Doctor tells me I need gentle yag over the entire beard at least 6 times to get rid of all the black hair. True or false? 3. Lastly, she says treatments would be once every two months to hit all hair in anogen stage. True or false? Thanks, Eugene
This is true, there is no laser , to my knowledge, that treats gray or blonde hair. I like to recommend my patients to come in every 4 to 6 weeks for treatments of Laser Hair Removal. I also tell my patients that it is not uncommon to have 4 to 8, sometimes even more, treatments for best results.
Good luck. Hope this helps.
I got dark spots after a Yag laser tightening treatment. I never had dark spots before. Now I have dark areas on my face. Why did this happen and what can I do about it?
The dark spots can be improved dramatically by using a retinoid and hydroquinone. Ask your doctor to prescribe these three to four weeks before your next treatment.
