There are so many skincare products available, and it's hard to know what to chose. I'm looking to maintain the great results from my Fractional ablative CO2 resurfacing, and was given a list of product suggestions from my MD. I wanted to know if other doctors have recommendations for products that they feel are effective and necessary for their patients. The products I'm using right now are Jan Marini C-esta (and I'm not that impressed), Jan Marini Transformation Cream, and JM Bioclear. I also have Triluma, and Green Cream (Retinol cream which I love). Daily, I use Skinceuticals SPF 30 sunscreen, Neutrogena dry sunblock spf 70, Shiseido 55 SPF, and Jan Marini Antioxidant SPF 30. I tend to rotate sunscreens. Brand names are more helpful than just listing important ingredients. Thanks!
Answer: Recommend using Elevase and Melarase creams after treatment Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Post-Op Skincare: Vitamin C is an effective ingredient that will help maintain results post-ablative laser treatment. Vitamin C should be applied in the morning as it helps to deliver advanced environmental protection by neutralizing damaging free radicals. Formulated with a synergistic antioxidant combination of 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), and 0.5% ferulic acid, we recommend SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. This vitamin C serum improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, and brightens skin’s complexion. Tested safe after non-ablative laser, this serum provides advanced environmental protection while helping improve visible signs of aging. Follow with a broad spectrum sunscreen that combines 100% mineral filters, zinc oxide and titanium oxide, like our SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion. Not only will this help protect the results of your treatment, but it can help prevent future signs of skin aging. We recommend any exfoliating product, such as Glycolic or Lactic acid, to be used in the evening. Hope this helps.

Answer: Post Laser resurfacing regimen for moisturization and sun protection Laser resurfacing is one of the most sought after procedures in a busy aesthetic laser practice and certain elements in post laser care of the skin are fundamental in achieving optimal results. This includes proper hydration and deep moisturization with Opti-Ceramide creams as well as adequate UV protection to prevent sun damage to the sensitized skin. I recommend the Hydrate + Protect Mini Kit for all of my patienst who have had laser resurfacing. See link below for more information.
