With the steep rise in patients adopting for dermatological procedures like CO2 laser, IPL, fraxel, physical and chemical peeling, skin boosters and other injections today, it becomes imperative to adopt the right post procedure recovery practices that help calm skin redness, dryness and inflammation that follows.
In short, post dermatological procedure recovery is as crucial as the procedure itself.
Speedy healing is a key step in ensuring the desired results from the procedure. Incorrect healing can affect the intended outcome, causing an overall dissatisfaction with the treatment. This is where the difference between general skincare creams and post procedure creams becomes crucial. While general products with heavy moisturizing abilities are majorly hyaluronic acid, ceramides and glycerin based products, post procedure creams are specially formulated with ingredients that protect and renew damaged skin from sunburn, acne scars, and exfoliation. Simply put, what the skin needs the most in this fragile state is a specialized 3 step action –
1. Antioxidant Effect
2. Improved blood circulation
3. Skin regeneration
EP+DERM PLUS Post Procedure Range – The Power Trio of Skin recovery
Let’s deep dive into understanding these three and the ingredients that boost these functions.
1. Antioxidant Effect in skin healing
Collagen, elastin and muscle layers in skin
Ingredients like Oligopeptide-28 and Oligopeptide-29, which are collagen boosting peptides help in acceleration of collagen formation and antioxidation post dermatological procedures. Made of 12 amino acids including alanine, arginine, histidin, isoleucine, leucin, lysine, proline and serin, these ingredients help maintain skin elasticity by supplementing the collagen reduction and preventing oxidation.
2. Improved blood circulation in skin healing
Improved blood circulation promotes cell regeneration which is another key element in quick post procedure recovery. Maintaining adequate blood flow to the tissues is important for skin’s healing and maintenance of skin condition. Ingredients like Cafeoylsh-Octapeptide-4 provide an outstanding oxidation effect for a long time. It is a synthetic peptide consisting of 6 amino acids – glycine, histidin, leucin, lysin, phenylalanine and tyrosine and is made from the synthesis of caffeic acid and neuropeptide.
During a study targeting people with atopic dermatitis and dry skin, a cream type product with NP7 ingredient was applied for two weeks. The results showed an improvement in acne along with improvement in blood circulation.
3. Skin Regeneration Effect
EGF, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Allantoin and Centella Asiatica
Ingredients like Sh-Oligopeptide-1 (EGF), Snail Secretion Filtrate and Allantoin play a superior role in skin regeneration after dermatological procedures. EGF (Sh-Oligopeptide-1)accelerates proliferation of epithelial cells and epidermal proliferation receptors and its use is clinically proven in scar recovery.
On the other hand, snail secretion filtrate’s moisturizing capabilities and anti-aging effects are no longer a surprise in the skincare world. With its role in the activation of extracellular matrix, moisture content gets magnified in the epidermis and dermis. This results in skin elasticity creating a long-lasting healthy skin.
Similarly, allantoin is a safe natural ingredient effective for anti-inflammation, regeneration, strengthening of skin barriers, removal of dead skin cells and antibacterial effects and has a similar function as urea which is a NMF(Natural Moisturising Factor).
Additionally, centella asiatica has also long been used for speedy healing of scars in its native land. Today, it is being used to treat post-surgical scars, burns, ulcers, etc. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a must-have in post procedure recovery regimes.
