Saved Me Post Fraxel Procedure
I have never been so impressed and appreciative of a product before. I had Fraxel laser done last Thursday. I was told to use Alastin Nectar $$$$ (which I did splurge for) and either Aquaphor or Elta MD Intense Moisturizer. I used all three. I was concerned because I had so much inflamation and redness, which is expected, but it seemed that the Aquaphor was intensifying the heat and redness on my right cheek. Elta MD was better but I wanted to try La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm, even though my doctor did not specify it. I knew it provided moderate occlusion and is supposed to help both redness and inflamation. So I ordered it and on day 3 post Fraxel, which was yesterday, I applied it. I felt relief within 10 minutes. It was as if my face calmed. No burning, no heat, no more inflamation. My cheek felt cooler. The hot pink new skin mellowed out to pink and things started to heal better. My skin almost feels like mine again. I know day 3 and 4 are the peeling days and as I gently dabbed and smoothed it on, those raw areas under the peeled off skin felt soothed. Within a few hours, the color faded and was not so intense. I also prefer the texture. It's not greasy and it still provides occlusion so the skin barrier is protected. If I ever do this again, I will definitely use this and I intend to tell my doctor about it. Both the Alastin Nectar and this saved me from panic. At this point, I will continue to use both these products for the next week or so until my skin is healed. Very impressed and thankful.Ver másVer menos
