Copper Peptide as aftercare for Fraxel Repair?

pesten1349Apr 23, 2016
I read Copper Peptide is very good for wound healing. So I would like to use a Copper Peptide serum (by Owndoc) in conjunction with a CeraVe moisturizer and Vaseline after a Fraxel Repair treatment (for acne scars) to maximize results. I think I will be applying them in this order, starting the day of the treatment, for one week: 1. Copper Peptide 2. Moisturizer 3. Vaseline Would you recommend that I use Copper Peptide? If not, why? I would appreciate your response.

Yes there are several options to help even out pigmentation as well as texture for the neck and chest once you've finished care with your primary care provider. I recommend seeking out a clinic that can offer laser and skin care to best guide you in a treatment plan.
