One of the most important things to do after scheduling a laser treatment or chemical peels is to begin preparing the skin. When the skin gets injured, pigment cells come to rescue the area, resulting in an elongated healing process. By applying Retin-A, you can prepare your skin for treatment which will make all the difference.
As quoted from Dr. Steven Davis, “If we were going to wax the floor, we would first wanna strip off the old wax so that the new wax is actually going to be applied to the surface we wanted. Very similarly, when we use this special compounding cream, it’s going to have a combination of some of this bleaching effect and also some of this Retin-A purposefully so that we’re actually peeling off or flaking off that old, dead, dried skin surface so that when we finally do the laser, it’s going after the proper surface.”
The next time you find yourself heading into the office for laser treatments, make sure you prepare your skin as much as you can. After seeing your results, you’ll understand why!
