Tivor has been advised for you as a post-procedure skin healing solution and for PIH (Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a skin condition which occurs after there is damage or irritation to the skin. It can be caused due to acne, burns, eczema (atopic dermatitis), allergic reactions, infection, insect bites, lichen planus, pseudofolliculitis barbae and psoriasis.
PIH can be epidermal (involving the top layer of skin), dermal (deeper layer of skin) or mixed. Out these, epidermal PIH is the most responsive to treatment with topical solutions.
Long-term management of PIH requires treating the underlying skin problem that is the main cause of hyperpigmentation and discolouration. Certain treatments can speed up the process, such as topical hydro-quinone, retinoid, corticosteroid, azelaic acid, glycolic acid, kojic acid, along with the application of procedures like light chemical peels and micro dermabrasion.
Post-procedure skin is normally dehydrated having lost its natural protective properties. During dermatological procedures like chemical peels, dermal fillers, laser therapy, micro dermabrasion, and intense pulse light procedures, the skin undergoes major changes. The unattended consequences of such procedures can be damaging to skin growth, especially if there is no skin care undertaken post the procedure. Essential nutrient therapies can aid skin repair and recovery and enhance the natural healing process.
