The botanical corrective gel visibly reduced erythema, edema, and crusting on treated skin. In addition, it notably reduced skin discomfort throughout the post-procedure period and provided a soothing sensation when applied. Further, the patient reported feeling more comfortable having an adjunctive treatment that she could apply at home. In total, the patient had about 7 days of downtime until her skin was fully recovered. She denied any impact on her daily life, but refrained from her professional activities for 3 days and her social activities for 7 days. Overall, the patient reported great satisfaction with treatment results feeling that her skin was lightening 1-week post-laser treatment. At 1 month, she reported improved skin texture and reduced melasma.
