Reducing Post-Surgical Inflammation and Scarring with Acne Patients: Topical Steroid Gels are a Good Idea presented by Manjula Jegasothy, MD

It will take down the inflammation and make sure that the patient leaves your office in pristine condition. They’re not marked up and they’re incredibly happy with your skill of the procedure.
