Can I remove freckles with laser while breastfeeding?

When women are breastfeeding, they must be exposed to things that are beneficial to the baby. The breastfeeding period is the same as the period of preparing for pregnancy. Women cannot use many cosmetics. Some women may have pregnancy spots due to pregnancy. They think that these pregnancy spots are very unsightly and want to remove them quickly after giving birth. So can laser freckle removal be used during breastfeeding?

Can I do laser freckle removal during breastfeeding?

You can use laser freckle removal during breastfeeding because it is highly targeted and only works on areas with heavy pigmentation. It also only works on the surface of the skin and has no effect on breastfeeding, so don't worry.

Laser can produce a visible light with high-intensity instantaneous energy. Lasers of different wavelengths will be absorbed by specific colors or pigments in the skin. For example, freckles easily absorb green light. Lasers of various wavelength energies have different functions. Currently, there are as many as 7 or 8 types of lasers used to treat skin problems. The Ruby laser, which we often hear about, uses the principle of laser and ruby ​​as the medium. It mainly targets black and brown pigments and spots, combines light and pigment to decompose them. When the pigment is gradually absorbed by the body, the color of the spots will fade accordingly.

The principle of laser freckle removal is that the laser emitted by the treatment instrument can penetrate the damaged skin very smoothly, enter the damaged area, and treat the pigment in the damaged area. The pigment of freckles will change under the powerful laser irradiation and then dissipate on its own, thus being cured. Laser treatment does not forcibly remove pigments, but rather treats through the skin. However, if you are not careful after the treatment, it will leave scars. Moreover, due to its selectivity, it only acts on pigment particles and does not damage normal skin.

What to do if you catch a cold while breastfeeding

If a breastfeeding woman catches a cold but does not have a fever, she can take some cold granules, isatis root and other medicines; if accompanied by a high fever, she needs to go to the hospital for infusion, or take medicine as prescribed by the doctor.

During breastfeeding, it is best not to take drugs containing analgesics and antipyretics. Cold capsules, Keganmin and Yan Di are not suitable. Antibiotics should not be used for common viral colds. You can use some traditional Chinese medicine such as Sangju Cold Tablets. The best way is to consult a doctor. There are drugs that can enhance immunity, but it is best not to take them during breastfeeding.

Here are some ways to treat colds without taking medicine or injections:

1. When your throat becomes itchy and painful at the beginning of a cold, immediately gargle and rinse your mouth and throat with concentrated salt water every 10 minutes. It will be effective after more than 10 times.

2. Drinking chicken soup can relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose during a cold, and it is also effective in clearing respiratory viruses. Drinking chicken soup regularly can enhance the body's natural resistance and prevent the occurrence of colds.

3. Use a metal spoon to heat it in boiling water (not to burn your hands) and place it on the palm surface to massage the "cold-curing point". If there is any abnormal feeling, massage it more. After a while of hot massage, use a spoon soaked in cold water to stimulate the area. For those with a mild cold or cough, stimulate 5-10 times according to the above method. The cold-curing point on the palm is located between the thumb and index finger of the left palm (near the base of the thumb) and on the palm surface below the second joint of the right thumb.
