Sunburn, Freckles, Melasma... How Should You Care for Your Skin After a Summer Vacation...

After cooling off at various vacation spots such as the mountains or the sea,

many people end up worrying about skin problems such as sunburn, wrinkles, melasma, enlarged pores, and loss of elasticity.

It is also a good idea to remember that if your skin becomes blotchy or pigmentation is found after a summer vacation, you should visit a hospital even if there is no pain.

Summer is a very extreme season for the skin.

The hot sun, high temperature and humidity, and frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays at summer vacation spots all irritate the skin.

Summer ultraviolet rays accelerate skin damage and aging, and often disrupt the skin’s oil-moisture balance. In addition, the cold, dry air-conditioning breeze encountered throughout the day to avoid the heat promotes moisture evaporation from the skin, which leads to a decrease in elasticity and the formation of fine lines.

Skin blemishes caused by ultraviolet exposure after a summer vacation are not easy to remove with home care alone. They can also become darker, spread wider, and deepen if left untreated for a long period of time. For that reason, it is safer and more effective to visit a medical professional and begin treatment early.

In general, skin blemishes can be treated within 1 to 2 weeks if they are not deep. However, caution is needed because using the wrong laser can cause side effects such as pigmentation.

In the case of temporary blemishes, a few treatments may be enough to solve the problem, but if they develop into pigment conditions that require specialized treatment, such as deep pigmentation or progressing pigmentation, you must go through a more difficult treatment process that requires an accurate diagnosis and customized procedures.

Pigment treatment begins with selecting the optimal laser and energy based on an accurate diagnosis.

In particular, freckles and melasma require extra careful attention because the laser wavelengths suitable for treatment are completely different.

For pigmentation or skin blemish treatment, the laser and energy used vary depending on the depth, range, and intensity of the pigment, so an accurate diagnosis is more important than anything else.

It is also safer to find a specialist with extensive clinical experience, receive an accurate diagnosis, and have a personalized 1:1 treatment plan prepared.

Please also remember that using a laser that is not suitable for the symptoms, or using an inappropriate wavelength or pulse width, can cause side effects such as worsening melasma, pigmentation, and hypopigmentation.

To reduce skin irritation in daily life, it is helpful to apply a skin mist and moisturizing cream frequently indoors, apply sunscreen carefully outdoors, and avoid outdoor activities during times when the sun is strong.
