Lamelle’s newest addition to the post-treatment care portfolio is based on the classic triple- therapy program, commonly called the Kligman’s formula. Medical triple therapy includes the use of hydroquinone, retinoic acid and glucocorticoids to manage dyschromia in the skin. The Kligman’s formula is a prescription compound that simultaneously inhibits pigment production, decreases cellular bulk in the stratum corneum and reduces inflammation in the skin.
Lamelle Pigment Repair balm includes non-prescription ingredients that mimic the actions of the Kligman’s formula with three additional benefits. Lamelle Pigment Repair Balm is formulated for post-treatment care to improve results with treatments specifically performed to manage hyperpigmentation in the skin.
Skin Benefits
1. Barrier Support: A semi-occlusive silicone blend provides optimal skin barrier protection during recovery from in-office treatments. Limiting the healing time and inflammatory skin responses to the injury created.
2. Anti-inflammatory: Indian Gooseberry has hydrocortisone-like benefits to calm excessive skin inflammation.
3. Soothe irritation: Bisabolol and ginger extract suppress skin itch and discomfort during the re-growth of the stratum corneum.
4. Pigment inhibition: Curcumin and a Resorcinol derivative provide equivalent activity to 4% hydroquinone treatment without the risks of permanent skin de-pigmentation. Limiting the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
5. Soothe stinging skin: a synthetic Avenanthramide provides anti-inflammatory, anti-itch and anti-sting benefits. Providing comfort in the healing phase.
6. Increased skin turnover: Lamelle retinoic acid ester is used to increase cell turnover without the potential for sun sensitivity, dryness and irritation generally associated with retinol or prescription retinoid use.
