Skinprint has completed clinical research identifying methodology and skin treatment products to enhance the efficacy and comfort of laser treatments.

Measuring specific hydration levels in the stratum corneum with a corneometer as well as barrier function via TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss) is critical in understanding optimal laser procedure outcomes.  There are specific ranges of stratum corneum hydration and barrier function levels (trans-epidermal water loss) which lead to less pain, better ablation, enhanced remodeling as well as shorter healing times when employing laser procedures on skin.

Once these measurements are taken and the need for improvement is identified before the laser treatment, a customized facial is performed to improve the skin before the procedure.  Then the patient will use a pre and post regimen.  The pre-regimen consists of a light foaming cleanser and a pre-laser lotion containing sodium lactate, a specific blend of occlusive and humectant moisturizing ingredients and liposomal ursolic acid to strengthen the skin barrier.

The post-regimen includes a post-laser light foaming cleanser to enhance corneocyte removal without damaging barrier and either a lotion or an ointment consisting of highly occlusive moisturizers, alpha bisabolol, allantoin and a standardized avenanthramide concentration.  This combination suppresses histamine reactions and limits the inflammation reaction post laser procedures
