One must follow the instructions of the prescribing
doctor. It has been our experience that whilst on certain treatments that one
can safely and successfully use certain RégimA products as described below:
Roaccutane - This treatment is extremely successful in
treating active acne, teenage or adult, and helping prevent scarring. There
are, however, in certain cases, symptoms experienced. The skin may become dry,
tight and pink. Following a very simple regime, during the course of the
treatment, minimizes potential side effects e.g. RégimA Cleanser, Scar Repair
Cream or Scar Repair Forté Serum am and pm with a RégimA day product.
Cortisone [steroids also called corticosteroids] -
Topical application of Cortisone is used successfully to treat many skin
conditions. It can, however, if used regularly, have a thinning effect on the
skin, cause easy bruising, dilated capillaries, redness and stretch marks in
certain individuals. It is essential therefore that the skin is 're-built'. RégimA Scar Repair Cream or Scar Repair Forté
Serum may be applied over the top of the treated area, to be applied at least
15 minutes following Cortisone application.
Renova, Retin-A and Retinol - The Differences - As so many people confuse Retinol
with Retin-A it is necessary to clarify a few points. Renova, Retin-A are
prescription treatments containing the active ingredient retinoic acid
[tretinoin]. This has been sold for years under the brand name Retin-A. This
may be very successful, however, side effects MAY occur in certain cases -
Dryness, redness, tenderness, swelling and flaking of the skin and sensitivity
to sun light. It is essential when on this treatment to use a sunscreen. We
recommend a RégimA day preparation containing SPF. RégimA uses retinyl
palmitate, a Vitamin A derivative, which has no side effects and is safe for
all.
