After fraxel repair: Need Help for skincare regimen

Question

Hi, I am 24years old college student. I did fraxel repair on my both cheeks 10days ago. In order to have a better result, I purchased Skinceuticals CE Feulic serum and Skinceuticals B5 serum ( both skinceuticals products are for every morning). Also I got Retin A .025% and Estee Lauder advanced night repair for night skincare. When I can use those products safely without any adverse effect and interaction with fraxel repair?

Nana N. Mizuguchi, MD, FACS · Answer

The Skinceuticals products and Retin A are very beneficial.  Be mindful of the Retin A if you are in the sun.  Your skin will be sensitive and more prone for sun burn.  Skinceuticals has an excellent sunscreen.  If you wanted to add one more product, I would highly recommend Skin Medica TNS Recovery Complex.  This products has grow hormone which initiates collagen remodeling.  This is very good for your skin.  It sounds as if you are on the right track.  Take care of your skin and avoid the sun.Thank you

Happy to be of assistance and thank you for the SkinCeuticals mention. First, we recommend following the post-care instructions administered to you by your physician after fraxel. After consultation, if you are looking for a topical skincare regimen, clinical studies have demonstrated that SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum is well tolerated to be used post-fraxel (CO2) treatment. This product is a vitamin C antioxidant that provides protection against environmental damage caused by free radicals from UVA/UVB radiation. Vitamin C should be applied in the daytime and we recommend following with a broad spectrum sunscreen for additional protection against environmental aggressors. If you are looking to incorporate our SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel into your routine, we recommend applying the Hydrating B5 Gel right after C E Ferulic. This serum is enriched with vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid and helps to bind moisture to the skin. It can be used alone or with a daily moisturizer to provide extra hydration. Additionally, SkinCeuticals Hydra Balm is a multi-functional occlusive ointment that forms a protective barrier on the skin that promotes optimal healing and skin regeneration while providing relief from discomfort. This soothing balm also helps improve hydration levels in dry skin and is safe to use after fractional ablative laser treatment. We suggest applying after the C E Ferulic or can also be applied in the evening.
