Cosmetic treatments and superficial operations create lesions that also require a minimum of care.
What to do before and after a surgical operation?
Before: avoid exposure to UV rays in the weeks preceding the operation; skin must be protected with an SPF 50+ to ward off the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
After: accelerate skin regeneration in the event of redness, swelling and superficial lesions by using a moisturising cream with hyaluronic acid daily; this promotes the repair of fragile skin. If there is a risk of infection, use an antibacterial repairing cream. In any event, leave the house with an SPF 50+ cream applied and conceal postoperative marks with a touch of hypo-allergenic corrective make-up.
