  Face Treatments – Thinking of having surgery ?

  Working closely with plastic surgeons, personally seeing many of their patients pre and post op, I would like to point something out that people do not consider, and it is important to stress, mainly because life is not really like The Bold and the Beautiful.  Following a surgery the patient assumes that their skin is going to be smooth and glowing but in 9 times out of 10 cases, especially in a more mature person, there is disappointment because yes, the sagging skin has been removed and the muscles tightened, but there may still be a dull lifeless skin unless something is done about it.  This is where the patient should be educated on treating the skin and pre op ‘Peel & Heal’ treatments make a world of difference .  If a patient is going the surgical route, the end result is then much more aesthetically pleasing and the patient does not get disappointed.  RegimA  offers options that work hand in hand with plastic surgery.  Remember maintenance is all important, do not just have a lift and then forget it, make that renewed youthful freshness last longer – ‘Peel & Heal’

  For the people who are not yet ready to go the surgical route, try RegimA extremely successful in-salon ‘Peel & Heal’ and other anti-ageing treatments with cosmeceutical home care.

  SCARS – The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

  RégimA SCAR REPAIR offers a medically accepted choice

  If a patient undergoes any procedure where an incision is made requiring suturing and is sent home without the correct post op care then the patient is likely to try a selection of products which may be highly fragranced, contain alcohol, or be basic ‘tissue oils’ etc, which can lead to breakdown or delayed scar maturation and resultant ugly hypertrophic or keloid scar development and pigmentation.  Although the doctor has performed excellent surgery, the patient blames the doctor for an aesthetically poor scar.

  Laser Treatment

  Laser skin resurfacing is performed for a number of reasons, deep wrinkles, acne scarring, operative or trauma scarring … Our experience of dealing with pre and post laser skin treatments has shown that pre laser skin treatment allows for better laser penetrance.

  RégimA Post Laser Post Peel Gel was first formulated several years ago for the use of plastic surgeons following medical CO2 laser therapy.  RégimA Post Laser Post Peel Gel has revolutionized post laser treatment, ensuring more rapid healing of the laser burn whilst preventing laser crusting and subsequently averting post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, a previously known potential side effect of laser, dermabrasion or deep chemical peels.  RégimA Pre & Post Laser Gel reduces redness and irritation, soothes having a ‘natural anaesthetic affect’, moisturizes, protects and accelerates the natural rejuvenation process of the skin.

  Laser Gel is used not only for post laser or post dermabrasion but also for burns, traumatic dermabrasion following road traffic accidents.  Laser Gel promotes rapid healing and re-epithelialization, helps prevent scabbing and the subsequent post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring.

  In recent years Post Laser Gel has also been used extremely successfully by therapists in conjunction with all laser, IPL systems, including hair removal.  A perfect healing agent for laser, dermabrasion and deep peels.

  Application:  Initially post treatment one would apply Laser Gel only several times daily to the wound until all debris has sloughed off and then one would apply RégimA Scar Repair and appropriate RegimA home care essentials which must include one of the RegimA products containing sun protection.

  Considering Laser or Dermabrasion – Be Prepared?

  Pre Laser treatment with in-salon ‘Peel & Heal’ and home care preparation ensures better laser penetrance, prevents potential side effects and ensures a better end result.

  IMPORTANT NOTE:  It should be stressed that the use of all lasers, especially on certain skin types and colours, carries a risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.  One must always be aware of this and minimize any risks by using the correct pre and post treatment products.

  Complimentary products Pre & Post Laser

  C-Innovation Pigment Perfector -  This product has been used successfully for many years pre and post medical skin resurfacing laser to prevent hyperpigmentation.  This cream contains a powerful percentage of the most potent form of Vitamin C. Topical application of L-Ascorbic Acid is helpful in speeding the healing process.  It is recommended as a post-operative regimen for laser resurfacing patients.  This form of vitamin C has been shown to decrease the degree and duration of post laser erythema (reddening).

  Under Cover Green Foundation -  Sometimes following laser therapy the skin may remain pink.  RégimA therefore offers a green cover up make-up.

  A RegimA day product containing SPF must be used.  The usual choice would be Daily Survival, unless the patient has a very oily skin type.  The doctor or skin care professional will advise on the correct choice.
