Is there anything new for treatment of scars?

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.

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
