Is there any special skin care regimen I must follow after receiving acne scar therapy?
We recommend the use of a sunscreen lotion with SPF of at least 25 and either a copper peptide topical cream or L-ascorbic acid cream twice a day for the treated area. Specific copper peptide creams have been proven effective at accelerating the healing process and aiding in the generation of collagen. Additionally, we advocate adopting a good skin care regimen which includes the use of at least a moisturizer that contains a UVA and UVB sunscreen with SPF of at least 15. Any glycolic or retin A products should be discontinued several days pre and post laser procedures. LaserMed Skin Clinic also stocks a complete line of physician based skin care products that can speed up and enhance the healing process of laser based procedures.
