In the first day after the operation, skin must be covered by a steril vaseline, to keep it plint. Otherwise, as for example by burn, it would be dry. On the second day the burning will disappear, but skin is still dripping wet. Edema is the effect of this. In the places where the ray has reached the connection of skin and epidermis, may be small scars.

Three days later the dripping wet ends and the only sign that there was an operation is the light red color in face of different intesity – it depends on the type of skin, how big place have been operated and how deep was the ray.

There comes the critical period of time. If the red color doesn´t disappear, face can´t be exposed to the day light – neither if it is cloudy. Solarium is strictly forbidden. There is a tendency among people to go out after the operation. But the UV rays are still dangerous, although the sun isn´t shining. Each patient has to use a sun bathing lotion with an UV filter with the factor 20 or more all day long. It isn´t necessary inside of a flat or a house.

The color of face is fading until it disappears completely so the difference between the parts that were operated and the rest of face is invisible. It may takes weeks or months. Individualy it may takes four to six months. Then is the patient already out of dangerous and the sun light rays aren´t so dangerous anymore. The sun light rays may cause the different chromatosis and the creation of color stains.

If the patient follows the instructions there won´t stay any signs on skin. If it takes too long time, it can become boring. The patient may forget some rules or he doesn´t want to do it. He will go out, although the sun isn´t shining in the evening, but the sun light rays may still be there and they can cause many problems.

The most effectiv and the most modern is the laser method. The operated place is healing as the burn on skin – by small edema, dripping wet, sometimes small scars – lasting several days while the vaseline is beeing used. Then there is the red color in face tha may lead several weeks or several months.

By using one type of the laser only some types of „mistakes of beauty“ may be improved. If the patient want some hair on body beeing elliminated, it is necessary to use another type of laser. The laser isn´t a substitution of a classic facelift. The both methods may be used simultaneously, but it can be substituted. By using laser, not only wrinkles can be smoothed, but also the scars after acne. The instructions of a doctor must be fullfiled exactly.

A young passionate girl who likes going skiing had scars on her face caused by acne since she was a teenager. In November she was operated and in March she had to come on control. As she came she had unequal stains. She put a lotion on her face because a doctor told it to her. And she didn´t take part in any exotic holiday. She went „only“ skiing. But she protected her face by shawl…but the sun rays went through the shawl also wenn the sun wasn´t shining.

Several minutes of exposition of UV rays is enough, and not staying the whole days on an uphill. It wasn´t so bad for her but it was necessary to have next time for recovery. The stains may disappear spontaneously. If not, face may be operated by laser one more time, but the result isn´t sure.
