epicite® CALM – Introducing a new standard of care in medical aesthetics
Cutting-edge medical aesthetic treatments have proliferated in recent years. However, as these techniques have evolved and demand has increased, post-treatment care has not kept pace—until now. Establishing a new gold standard in medical aesthetics aftercare, epicite® CALM offers optimal recovery following advanced skin rejuvenation and resurfacing procedures.
Establishing a new gold standard in medical aesthetics aftercare, epicite® CALM offers optimal recovery following advanced skin rejuvenation and resurfacing procedures.
Aesthetic treatments utilizing energy-based devices, such as CO2 laser and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, are increasingly popular for their effectiveness in enhancing collagen production and addressing signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. However, the intensity of these procedures can create wounds comparable to classic burns, and their depth of penetration into the dermis—up to 7mm for some technologies—presents regulatory risks for practitioners using non-medical products on compromised skin. epicite® CALM is designed to support wound healing and minimize downtime, delivering noticeable results immediately after treatment.
The market for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures is booming, particularly for those that employ energy-based devices. Treatments like laser skin resurfacing and radiofrequency procedures have experienced double-digit growth in recent years, with the global laser treatment market projected to reach approximately $4.4 billion by 2025. This growth, driven by technological advancements and increasing consumer demand for effective anti-aging solutions, underscores the critical need for high-quality aftercare.
Cooling effect of epicite® CALM
in thermal EBD procedures
CO2 laser resurfacing has emerged as a preferred treatment for patients seeking significant skin rejuvenation to reverse the signs of aging, in particular due to its rapid mode of action. This procedure utilizes a carbon dioxide laser to vaporize the outer layers of damaged skin, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. The precision of CO2 lasers allows practitioners to target specific areas, which is particularly beneficial for treating deeper wrinkles and scars.
While patients often report rapid improvements in skin tone, texture, and elasticity, the high temperatures generated during treatment—nearly 100°C—can lead to discomfort and extended recovery times.
The cooling effect of epicite® CALM is critical here, providing immediate relief from pain right after the treatment and soothing discomfort during the initial recovery phase, when the skin begins to peel. Creating a moist wound environment, epicite® CALM is deeply rehydrating and can help accelerate healing.
Accelerating the healing journey after RF Microneedling
Similarly, RF microneedling has gained popularity for its ability to combine the benefits of traditional microneedling with the added advantage of radiofrequency energy. This versatile technique involves the use of fine needles to create micro-wounding of the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy to the deeper layers. This treatment is effective for a variety of skin types and concerns, including enlarged pores, stretch marks, and sagging skin. The result is enhanced collagen and elastin production, which can significantly improve skin texture and firmness.
Although RF microneedling is typically less invasive and requires less downtime compared to CO2 laser treatments, the need for diligent aftercare remains paramount.
Incorporating epicite® CALM into post-treatment protocols can greatly enhance the healing process, allowing patients to recover more comfortably and effectively.
Post-treatment care as pure as it gets
As the popularity of these energy-based treatments continues to rise, the significance of effective post-treatment care cannot be overstated. Both CO2 laser and RF microneedling treatments can leave the skin vulnerable and sensitive, necessitating a careful approach to aftercare.
epicite® CALM stands out as the only medical device on the category of post-treatment facial masks, certified according to the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). As a sterile device, the dressing meets the highest standards of safety and efficacy and providing peace of mind to practitioners.
Moreover, epicite® CALM features a clean formulation, free from active ingredients, fragrances, and parabens, making it an ideal choice for treatment-prone and irritated skin.
The application of conventional cosmetic masks on broken skin is not advisable, as alcohol and preservatives are usually used in formulations to stabilize active ingredients and can irritate skin even further.
Produced from biosynthetic cellulose in Germany under stringent cleanroom conditions (ISO 13485), epicite® CALM is manufactured to ensure sterility and high quality, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin post-treatment.
Enhance your aftercare protocols for patient loyalty
epicite® CALM is clinically proven to enhance wound healing by maintaining a moist environment, which is crucial for optimal recovery and reduces the risk of complications. Its protective barrier cools the skin and promotes a smoother recovery, ultimately improving patient satisfaction.
Incorporating epicite® CALM into your post-treatment protocols can significantly enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction. This innovative hydro-active wound dressing supports healing and positions your practice as a leader in exceptional aftercare, helping to foster patient loyalty.
