What happened to Maya Massafera’s face? The expert analyzes severe burns

Recently, the influencer Maya Massafera shocked her fans on social media by appearing with her face completely burned after a facial procedure. On her TikTok, the YouTuber reported moments of pain and suffering during the protocol carried out with the fractional CO2 laser. To better understand what happened, we spoke to orofacial harmonization specialist Simone Lima.

How does the procedure work?

Second Filethis is a protocol widely used by celebrities who want to give their face a more youthful effect: “This is a technology widely used for facial rejuvenation as it promotes skin renewal and stimulates collagen. It works by emitting energy that is absorbed by the water present in the tissues, causing a controlled vaporization of the superficial layers of the skin.”

If the procedure is not done correctly, it can cause reactions such as Maya: “When parameters such as energy, depth or exposure time are not perfectly adapted to the patient’s skin type and clinical condition, or if the skin is sensitized, adverse reactions can occur, including intense redness, swelling, crusting and even thermal burns. Although it is a safe technology when well indicated and performed, there is a risk of complications.”

Special care

According to the professional, after the surgery, it is necessary to take care of the skin with gentle cleansing, the use of cold compresses in the first hours, intensive hydration with specific products, rigorous photoprotection, avoiding direct exposure to the sun and following all topical or oral medication prescriptions when indicated.

“The patient should maintain close monitoring with the professional so that any unusual reactions are identified and treated early”he added.

And the burns?

File explains that it is possible to reverse the current state of the skin Maya: “If diagnosed and treated early, burns caused by lasers usually progress well. Treatment may include immediate measures to cool the skin, use of healing and healing ointments, control of inflammation, and prevention of infections.”

Sometimes more stringent monitoring is necessary: “In some cases, it may be necessary to combine low-power laser therapy or LED therapy to speed up recovery and prevent sequelae. The most important thing is that the treatment is carried out by a qualified professional, respecting the severity of the lesion and the individual characteristics of the skin.”
