Post-Laser Recovery
Scab Care, Pigment Risk and the Two-Week Window
What happens in the fortnight after a resurfacing treatment determines a large share of the final result — particularly in Asian skin.
1. Crusting is part of healing, not a complication
Fractional resurfacing produces microscopic treatment columns that crust and shed over five to ten days. Interfering with that process is the main avoidable cause of scarring and prolonged redness.
2. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is the principal risk in Asian skin
Higher constitutive melanin means inflammation readily converts to pigment. Sun avoidance, barrier support and in some cases pre-treatment suppression are what keep this risk low.
3. Barrier repair matters more than active ingredients
Retinoids, acids and vitamin C belong on hold. Bland occlusive care supports re-epithelialisation; actives applied early prolong inflammation.
4. Photoprotection is not optional for six weeks
Ultraviolet exposure on freshly healed skin is the most reliable way to convert a good resurfacing result into a pigmentation problem.
