How can I best deal with the scabs as a result of undergoing fractional laser treatment?

Skincare after fractional lasering isn’t too complicated. Simply use a mild cleanser and moisturize frequently using a gentle moisturizer to facilitate skin healing over the next 5-7 days and for the tiny scabs to fall off on their own.

Avoid abrasive skin cleansers, facial masks and most importantly, avoid picking on the scabs.

Stay away from the sun, minimize vigorous physical activities and so slow on your usual skincare regime as your skin may be a little sensitive immediately after fractional lasering.

Is the laser treatment for PIH the same as for mole removal?

Hello Maine Thank you for your question. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or post inflammatory erythema (PIE) from acne is usually treated with q-switched laser or long-pulsed laser. You can expect gradual lightening of the marks with repeated treatments. You can also combine laser treatment with topical retinoids and chemical peels for better results. There shouldn't be any scabbing from treating PIH or PIE. Moles are usually removed with an ablative laser such as the CO2 or erbium laser. Hope this helps!

What are fractional laser prices in SIngapore?

Yes you’re right – fractional laser costs are entirely variable in the industry. https://www. human. com. sg/fractional-laser-cost-singapore/ You can get some idea about fractional laser costs in this post. From our research however, I think an average price would be about $500 per session, although clinics often have a cheaper “package” for a few sessions. IMHO, more expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better, as I’ve seen clinics that overcharge like crazy for what’s essentially the same procedure.
