FAQ SHEET: BEFORE & AFTER CREAM
with Lactoferrin LT
A. PRODUCT FORMULATION & SCIENTIFIC ACTION
Q: How does lactoferrin neutralize iron in the skin to reduce bruising?
A: Lactoferrin is a natural iron-chelating protein with two iron-binding sites. It binds and removes excess iron in the skin that causes discoloration, inflammation, and delayed healing. By neutralizing this iron, it accelerates recovery and visibly reduces bruises.
Q: What makes your liposomal delivery system superior?
A: Our liposomes mimic the skin’s natural lipid structure, enhancing penetration and protecting lactoferrin from degradation. This ensures the active ingredient reaches deeper layers of the skin where healing happens.
Q: Is the cream more effective on recent or severe bruises?
A: The sooner it’s applied, the better. While it works on all levels of bruising, early use prevents further iron accumulation and speeds up results. More severe or older discoloration may require longer application.
Q: How does it compare to Arnica, Vitamin K, or heparin creams?
A: Unlike those, lactoferrin performs a true chelating action, binding the cause of bruising—iron. It’s natural, skin-compatible, and scientifically backed.
Q: Can it be used with retinoids, vitamin C, or hyaluronic acid?
A: We recommend using Before & After separately to preserve its full chelating efficacy. If using other actives, space applications apart.
Q: Does lactoferrin have anti-aging or skin renewal benefits?
A: Yes. By removing iron, it stops the formation of free radicals and inflammation that degrade collagen and elastin. This supports a healthier, more resilient skin barrier.
Q: How long should it be used for chronic discoloration?
A: In cases like hemosiderin stains or venous issues, we recommend at least 12 weeks of continuous application. Treatment length depends on severity and frequency of use.
B. APPLICATION IN MEDICAL & AESTHETIC PRACTICE
Q: Is it suitable after surgeries like liposuction, rhinoplasty, or facelifts?
A: Absolutely. It’s ideal for reducing post-op bruising and speeding up recovery, making it an excellent protocol add-on for plastic surgery.
Q: Can it help athletes or orthopedic patients with trauma bruising?
A: Yes. Bruises from impacts, contusions, or post-op hematomas respond well to the chelating and anti-inflammatory action of lactoferrin.
Q: How does iron affect healing and why remove it?
A: Iron triggers oxidative stress, inflammation, and even supports bacterial growth. Chelating iron removes this healing obstacle, leading to faster, cleaner recovery.
Q: Is it helpful for redness, irritation, or rosacea-type inflammation?
A: While not a treatment for rosacea, its anti-inflammatory effect makes it great for calming redness or swelling from skin stress or treatments like waxing.
Q: Can it help reduce pigmentation after sclerotherapy?
A: Yes. Applied immediately post-treatment and in the following days, it can help prevent iron-based pigmentation often seen after vein treatments.
Q: Is it appropriate post-laser or after chemical peels?
A: Yes—as long as the skin is intact. It helps minimize redness and bruising following non-ablative laser or mild peel treatments.
C. SAFETY & REGULATORY CLARIFICATIONS
Q: Can lactoferrin build up in the skin over time?
A: No. Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein that breaks down safely in the body. It does not accumulate with use.
Q: Are there any medical contraindications for use?
A: None known, aside from possible sensitivity to ingredients. Always patch test and avoid open wounds.
Q: Is it safe near the eyes, lips, or mucous membranes?
A: Yes, if applied with care to intact skin. Avoid direct contact with eyes and do not apply inside the mouth or on damaged tissue.
D. PERFORMANCE & PRACTICE VALUE
Q: How soon can patients expect visible results?
A: Most users see improvement in 5 to 14 days. Results vary based on location, severity, and consistency of use.
Q: How does it compare to corticosteroids or oral anti-inflammatories?
A: It’s not a drug and isn’t meant to replace medical treatments. But it offers effective, topical cosmetic support for swelling and discoloration.
Q: Can it reduce the risk of scarring or poor healing?
A: It supports natural skin regeneration, helping the skin recover its appearance faster and more uniformly.
Q: What’s the one-liner advantage over Arnica?
A: Before & After is the only topical that removes the cause of bruising—iron—not just the symptom.
