Wrinkle and scar treatments
Wrinkle and scar treatments
Preparation
- Two weeks before and after the wrinkle laser treatments and the scar laser treatments, irritating measures should be avoided, this includes creams containing vitamin A or C, peelings as well as microdermoabrasion or similar, as this can affect the result of the treatment.
- Individuals prone to cold sores such as herpes may want to start prophylactic therapy with Valtrex Tablets one day prior to treatment. This will continue over four days.
- Adequate hydration and good skin care are important before and after treatment to achieve a good result.
- One hour before the laser treatment, the skin is cleaned and a cream with a local anesthetic is applied. If you are allergic to local anesthetics, please inform the dentist before starting the treatment.
- Immediately before the laser treatment, a blue dye is applied to the skin, but it is completely washed off after the treatment.
Aftercare
- After washing off the dye, a moisturizer is applied to the treated area.
- It is advisable to cool the area after treatment.
- To prevent swelling, you should sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first night if possible.
- The short-term administration of decongestant medication may be useful.
- Within the first week, you should apply a moisturizer to the treated area several times at least three times a day for better results.
- Make-up can be used on the first day after the treatment, but you should not use powder products.
