Post Trauma Skin Care

With the numerous skin procedures offered today such as dermabrasion, dermatological grade peels, esthetician grade peels and laser treatments, post surgery skin care is a must. While many procedures offered don’t require heavy down time, some do. The best way to ensure the best results of these procedures is to care for the skin afterwards.

Many of the treatments work by stripping the skin's top layers, revealing new, immature skin cells. Because these are new skin cells, they are more susceptible to damage. The most important thing to remember is to wear sun protection after any kind of facial procedure. CosMedix Serious Protection offers an SPF 28 that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

Healing and soothing ingredients are essential to incorporate into a post trauma skin care regimen to ensure that the skin has enough nutrients to help itself heal. CosMedix Rescue combines hydrating shea butter with natural copper peptides to rejuvenate the skin. Rescue can be used as a daily mask or left on over night for extended benefits.

Alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acid peels can cause irritation and leave the skin feeling tight and itchy. PCA Skin Apres Peel is ideal for this post hypersensitive skin.
