Brilio.net - Facial laser has become one of the effective methods to overcome acne and pimples, because of its ability to stimulate skin regeneration and reduce inflammation. Laser technology works by shooting light rays into the deepest layers of the skin, to help improve the texture and appearance of the skin.
For acne, lasers can reduce the number of acne-causing bacteria, shrink excess oil glands, and reduce inflammation. They also stimulate the production of new collagen , which helps repair acne scars and smooth the skin's surface. In the case of acne, lasers can remove dead skin cells and stimulate the formation of new, healthier skin cells.
But unfortunately, not everyone is suitable for facial laser treatment. Not a few actually experience redness or irritation. As experienced by one TikTok user with the account name @sseellff, who actually experienced skin problems, to the point of peeling and causing her forehead to be uneven.

But unfortunately, instead of getting better, the redness on the account owner's forehead actually turned black. After further investigation, the older brother said, the laser energy used during the laser process was too high. As a result, the account owner's skin became irritated.
Because it did not get better and instead got worse, the account owner finally decided to consult directly with the specialist doctor who treated him during the laser treatment. He was then advised to use ointment to reduce the wounds on his forehead.

Instead of waiting until his forehead condition improves, the account owner instead came up with the idea of peeling off the blackish scar on his forehead.
"My hands itch and want to rub them and they hurt, actually I can't," said the account owner.
After peeling, the scar on the account owner's forehead felt itchy, and made him scratch the wound area. As a result, the wound peeled and his forehead became patchy. Even after several months, the patchy scar on his forehead did not disappear.

The account owner's heartbreaking story after undergoing laser treatment immediately went viral, being viewed 1.4 million times and garnering various comments from netizens.
" This is where the laser power is too high, it burns, " said the account @elemenesoul.
" It looks like the laser is too hot, " said the account @nadiaridwan900.
" I think you are not taking good care of your skin after laser, because after laser you really have to use anti-irritation cream, it must be moist, don't expose it to direct sunlight, and it should NOT be peeled or scratched ," explained the account @dindafebry3.
