Is there anything new for treatment of scars?
There is …….and please see the blog post right before this one! Also, presented at the Paris IMCAS conference this year was some research showing (preliminarily) better results with fractionated lasers, if the treatment was immediately followed by the application of a potent antioxidant. In this study the SkinCeuticals C&E Ferrulic.
There appears to be a window of time right after a fractionated laser is done where the tiny, almost microscopic channels that are created will conduct fluid deeper into the dermis allowing much better penetration. In several small studies, this improved results and speeded healing.
