Preparing the skin before undergoing surgical procedures, especially those involving medium to deep peels is crucial.
According to Dr. Dov Klein’s method, it is recommended to establish a series of 4 treatments, one every two weeks, starting two months before the surgical procedure and continuing afterward.
The Aim of the Preparation Phase: To prepare the skin, cleanse it, and improve its texture and elasticity. Treatments should be completed up to a week before the surgical procedure.
Additionally, it is important to enhance the skin’s strength and stabilize its metabolic functions. This reduces the impact of the procedure and ensures a quick and balanced recovery. Strengthening the skin and balancing its metabolic activity also help to minimize trauma from the procedure, facilitating a swift return to normal, balanced activity.
Common skin conditions encountered before surgery can include rough skin, lack of glow and vitality, and neglected skin that requires thorough cleansing.
One month to six weeks after the surgical procedure, combined with a medium or deep peel, it is essential to attend a follow-up appointment to assess the skin condition and receive further care instructions.
Post-Surgical Treatment: This focuses on lymphatic drainage, skin rehabilitation, and encouraging the fibrotic process. The treatment has several goals:
- Stimulating metabolic processes affected by the surgical procedure, which may have caused post-traumatic stress to the skin.
- Enhancing capillary blood circulation, particularly around the incision area, to expedite the natural healing process and restore any temporarily damaged nerve function.
- Lymphatic drainage to alleviate edema and promote healing.
- Strengthening the skin and balancing metabolic activity for a swift return to normal, balanced function.
- Gentle exfoliation to allow the penetration of antioxidant-rich trans-epidermal products.
- Improving skin elasticity using moisturizing agents, nourishing oils, and antioxidant vitamins.
