Product recommendations after mini facelift, neck lift and erbium laser of full face?

Question

Good morning, What products are recommended for your skin after mini facelift with necklift and ebrium laser of full face post recovery?

Sean T. Lille, MD · Answer

Hi Thoughtful, I am a big fan of the Neocutis product called Aftercare which is made specifically for post-procedure use. Neocutis is known for their growth factors and peptides.  This product can be applied immediately after procedures. It helps restore the barrier function of the skin. My staff loves it for the moisture too.

After a mini facelift with neck lift and erbium laser treatment of the full face, it's essential to follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions for optimal healing and to maintain the results. While specific product recommendations may vary depending on your surgeon's preferences and your individual needs, here are some general recommendations for skincare after these procedures:

-Gentle Cleanser: Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser to wash your face. Look for a product that is gentle, fragrance-free, and suitable for sensitive skin.

-Moisturizer: Use a moisturizer that is hydrating and suitable for your skin type. Look for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides to help restore and maintain skin hydration.

-Sunscreen: Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial to prevent sun damage and maintain your results. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and apply it daily, even when indoors. Choose a sunscreen that is non-comedogenic and suitable for your skin type.

-Healing Ointment: Your surgeon may recommend applying a healing ointment or a specialized post-operative cream to the incision areas to aid in the healing process.

-Follow their instructions regarding the frequency and duration of application.
Avoid Harsh Products: During the initial healing phase, it's best to avoid harsh products such as exfoliants, retinol, or acidic ingredients that may cause irritation or compromise the healing process.

-Hydration: Staying well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water can help maintain the overall health and appearance of your skin.

It's important to consult with your surgeon for specific product recommendations and guidelines based on your unique situation. They will have a comprehensive understanding of your procedure and can provide tailored advice to address your specific needs and preferences.

Additionally, remember to attend follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress and receive personalized guidance throughout your recovery period.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
