Epionce Tip of the Month - October 2013 October 2013 Pre & Post Treatment Care Healthy Skin = Better Treatment Results Getting fantastic results with a treatment, whether surgical or nonsurgical, goes beyond just the treatment itself. Equally important to the results is how the skin is cared for both before and after the procedure. Why Pre-Procedure Care is Important Medical professionals know that if a patient is healthy before a surgery, the patient will heal faster and have better results after the surgery. The same is true for the skin - the largest organ of the body. If the skin is healthy before a treatment procedure, then it will heal faster and have better results following a procedure. For example, plastic surgery may help reduce visible wrinkles, but it will only look as good as the skin beneath the wrinkles. How Epionce Can Help Renewal Facial Product The foundation of the Epionce product line, the Renewal Facial Products help repair the skin barrier and stop chronic inflammation in the skin. Begin Renewal regimen 4-12 weeks prior to procedure. Intense Defense Serum Provides complete nutrition that skin cells need to be able to become and stay healthy. Similar to a multivitamin taken for the internal health of the body, the skin cells receive the nutrition they need from the variety of vitamins and nutrients present in the Intense Defense Serum. Use with Renewal regimen 4-12 weeks prior to procedure. Epionce Peel System A superficial chemical peel series will help to increase cell turnover and improve skin texture, while encouraging collagen and elastin production and faster healing. Ideally, peels will be performed in a series spaced 3-4 weeks apart, not less than one week prior to surgery. Refer to Protocol and Treatment Handbook for suggested Pre/Post Face-Lift Regimen. Pre & Post Treatment Care Post-Procedure Care = Wound Care Wound Care New research is showing that there are ways to improve the results following a treatment procedure when applying best practices from the field of wound care. The skin following a treatment procedure should be treated like wounded skin, and the healing surface needs to be protected. This helps prevent negative side effects such as: Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation Hypertrophic scarring Occlusive folliculitis Miliaria Pruritis How Epionce Can Help Medical Barrier Cream - “Stratum Corneum in a Bottle” Helps repair and restore the skin barrier quickly.

Key Ingredients: Safflower Meadowfoam Flax Shea Butter Avocado Petrolatum Pre & Post Treatment Care Client: I’m looking for a dramatic difference, so I’ve scheduled a facelift in three months. Is there anything I can be doing to help me get the best results? Epionce Professional: There are many different things you can do now to prepare yourself for future surgery and healing later. To prepare your skin for healing, we are going to get started on a complete Epionce regimen that will help build your skin barrier strength while calming inflammation – two factors that affect your surgery results. We’ll start with a Renewal product for your skin type and include Intense Defense Serum with complete cell nutrition so your skin will be the healthiest it can be before surgery. Since we have enough time, we can also start a short Epionce peel series to encourage cell turnover and enhance collagen and elastin production. Client: I’m looking forward to my tummy tuck surgery in a few weeks, but I’m worried about scarring afterward. My sister told me to use vitamin E, but I’m not sure about that. Any suggestions? Epionce Professional: Many people recommend vitamin E for scarring, but there is no actual scientific evidence that vitamin E reduces scars. After your drainage tubes are removed, it is important to keep your incisions clean and covered with soft dressing to avoid infection under your compression garment. Medical Barrier Cream helps to restore stratum corneum function, and may be used post-op to help the discomfort that comes with incision healing. Apply Medical Barrier Cream directly to scars after stitches have been removed to reduce the appearance of redness, which may last up to six months post-surgery. Medical Barrier Cream will help your incision line scar fade and soften with time. Client: I would like to try another laser resurfacing treatment, but I don’t like gooping pure petroleum jelly on my face afterwards. Is there anything that feels better? Epionce Professional: Absolutely! Medical Barrier Cream is wonderful to use in place of pure petrolatum or petrolatum-based products like Vaseline or Aquaphor. In fact, it was proven to restore barrier function much faster than any petrolatum-based product, and it is a lot more cosmetically elegant to use. You can apply it immediately post-procedure, and just continue applying as your skin heals - as often as you need it to help with irritation or itching. Best of all, you only need enough to cover your skin, you don’t need a lot of greasy product that gets in your hair or all over your pillow, like petrolatum. Client: I’ve recently had a blepharoplasty – now that my swelling is down and my scars have healed, how do I maintain results? Epionce Professional: To help prolong your beautiful results, I recommend Renewal Eye Cream with the same barrier repair and anti-inflammatory properties as Renewal facial products. It is made specifically for the more sensitive eye area, with soft-focus technology to help deflect light from any remaining visible imperfections.
