Condition: Reconstructive Surgery (Before & After)
Reconstructive surgery is selected by patients for many reasons, but usually to alter the appearance as a result of an accident, birth abnormality, or to help reverse signs of aging. Most reconstructive procedures involve the cutting of skin. Even though this procedure might appear invasive, it usually does not include the removal of the upper skin layers. Therefore, this becomes a condition that is more similar to wound healing than exfoliation services. Strictly following the advice of the surgeon is important, and as soon as possible, begin the use of Total Oxidation Management after the surgery.
The Wellness Solution
Prior to Surgery
Many people who have used Vitamin C and Vitamin E simultaneously prior to surgery have had such positive results during their healing process that they believe the healing process is faster and the scarring is minimized. It is highly recommended to begin using Malibu C skin care prior to the procedure.
Following Surgery
The vulnerability of the skin after surgery is greatly increased. Putting your recently affected skin “In the Mode” is crucial, yet very simple with just two steps. The first step* uses the original nature-identical, freshly-activated, preservative-free 12% L-ascorbic acid form of vitamin C and 1% zinc.
Because this vitamin C is freshly activated you receive 100% of its benefits and are assured of the proper form and concentration of the vitamin and zinc which is proven in clinical studies to gently, yet effectively kill bacteria on skin. This freshly activated L-ascorbic form of Vitamin C, at pharmacological levels, is the only form of vitamin C clinically proven to scavenge free radicals known to cause inflammation.Malibu C's revolutionary delivery system guarantees quick and easy activation to assure ingredient integrity, stability and freshness.
The second step is an application of a wellness moisturizer formulated with 5% pure vitamin E to help improve the apperance of the skin as well as help prevent scar tissue from forming. REMEMBER: This application might tingle or sting, but with continued use, it will lessen as the affected area normalizes.
Remain "In the Mode" protected at all times with Malibu C skin care following a peel. If a doctor has recommended an ointment to prevent infection, use the Vitamin C under the ointment and the Wellness Moisturizer on top of the ointment. Once the ointment is no longer used, continue to use the Vitamin C Serum and Wellness Moisturizer at all times, even when you feel the skin is fully healed.
Always consult with the doctor regarding caring for your skin following this procedure.
*Before beginning the use of the freshly-activated vitamin C, do a "spot-test" on a section of your treated area to determine sensitivity. Initially, you will likely experience a tingling sensation, which will diminish within seconds. Begin using the vitamin C to your entire treated area when the level of sensitivity on the spot-test area is tolerable. Consistent use of the L-ascorbic form of vitamin C will result in diminished sensitivity due to the development of newly formed skin cells. The sooner your treated area is able to tolerate the slight sensitivity, the sooner you will accelerate the healing of your treated area.
