Are you wondering, “I want to start a therapeutic program, but I’m worried about how my skin will react…”? In this article, we’ll explain the changes your skin will go through during the therapeutic program, following a three-stage process: the reaction phase, the adaptation phase, and the completion phase.
What is the Therapeutics Program?
What is the Therapeutics Program?A treatment program designed to improve skin texture over 12 to 18 weeks (approximately 3 to 4 months)Here’s how it works. After a consultation with a doctor to assess your skin condition, we’ll develop a skincare regimen using Cosmezeo Skin Health products—available exclusively through medical institutions—and the prescription medication “tretinoin.” Tretinoin is a vitamin A derivative that promotes skin cell turnover. Under the doctor’s supervision, follow the recommended dosage and frequency of use to achieve firm, radiant skin.
[Reaction Phase] The period when side effects occur
The reaction phase is a period during which adverse reactions to tretinoin are likely to occur. Reactions such as peeling, redness, itching, a stinging sensation, and dryness may appear. These reactions areThis is called an “A reaction,” and the symptoms gradually subside as treatment continues....will be performed. If you stop treatment on your own, you may not achieve the full therapeutic effect, soDon't stop on your own initiative. If you have any symptoms that cause you concern, consult a doctor.
[Remission Phase] The period when side effects subside
The adjustment period is when your skin gets used to the ingredients in the product, and symptoms such as flaking and redness begin to subside. Although this varies from person to person,Some people find that their skin texture improves and their skin feels firmerI suppose so. However, your skin is very sensitive during the therapeutic program.Follow a thorough skincare routine and take thorough precautions against sunburnLet's do it.
[Completion Period] The time when you can actually feel an improvement in your skin texture
The completion phase is when skin problems such as flaking have almost completely disappeared, and you can begin to feel the improvement in your skin texture. During this phase,You’ll notice an improvement in your skin concerns and experience healthy, firm, and radiant skin.It will be easier.
After the completion phase, gradually reduce the frequency of tretinoin use under your doctor’s guidance and transition to the maintenance phase. Discontinue use of the ZeoSkin Health products and prescription tretinoin used in the therapeutic program. Continue using vitamin A-containing skincare products,Since you can expect your skin to retain its firmness and radiance even after the treatment is complete, please consult your doctor regarding which products to use.。
