There’s no denying that some skin rejuvenation procedures can be painful. Our skin is a living organ with pain receptors that respond to chemical, mechanical, and thermal damage, even when this damage is required to prompt fresh, new skin cells to grow.

In many cases, these treatments require more than one visit to see the full results, but patients who experience pain, discomfort, and long recovery times after the procedure are less likely to return for follow-ups.

CMT® (Chemical, Mechanical, & Thermal) Post-Procedure Cream is a breakthrough innovation from Revision Skincare® that makes recovering from skin rejuvenation treatments a faster, more comfortable process. It contains powerful ingredients that support your skin as the epidermal barrier regenerates and replenishes healthy microbes that live within your skin’s microbiome.

Who Is Revision Skincare CMT® Designed For?

As the first post-procedure cream clinically proven to make recovering from chemical peels, microneedling, microdermabrasion, and laser treatments faster and more comfortable, Revision Skincare CMT® is ideal for patients who are interested in skin rejuvenation treatments but are concerned about inflammation, pain, and irritation.

Key Ingredients:

This proprietary blend of ingredients works together to create Revision Skincare’s patent-pending neurocosmetic effect:

  • Helichrysum Italicum Extract: Extract of the everlasting flower to soothe inflamed skin.
  • Daucus Carota Sativa Root Extract (Carrot Root Oil): Potent antioxidant and skin regenerator extracted from carrots. It is rich in beta carotene (vitamin A), vitamin E, and fatty acids to aid in barrier repair.
  • Acetyl Dipeptide-1-Cetyl Ester (Calmosensine): Dipeptide consisting of tyrosine and arginine stimulates the skin nerve cells to release a pain-relieving messenger molecule called met-enkephanlin. Instantly decreases skin irritations associated with chemical, mechanical, and thermal-based procedures.
  • Albatrellus Confluens Extract (Northern Truffle Extract): Derived from the Albatrellus confluens mushroom to condition and hydrate the skin.
  • Opuntia Ficus-Indica Callus Culture Extract (Prickly Pear Extract): A fatty acid, amino acid, and polyphenolic antioxidant-rich extract of the prickly pear cactus to ease inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract (Baker’s Yeast): Increases skin moisture while improving small wrinkles and surface-level irregularities.
  • Prebiotics: Plant-derived sugar molecules from soy, oat, flaxseed, ginseng, etc., that maintain the balance of good bacteria on the surface of the skin.
  • Postbiotics: Stabilizes the skin’s microbiome for better resilience and increased strength against invading microbes.
  • Ceramides: Naturally occurring chains of lipids that comprise the outer layers of skin, acting as the “mortar” between skin cells to protect hydration from getting out and pollutants from getting in. When applied topically, ceramides help to strengthen the skin barrier, improve moisture retention, and increase skin suppleness.
  • THD Ascorbate (Vitamin C): Tetrahexydecyl ascorbate is a form of vitamin C to support overall skin health, boost collagen production, and fade hyperpigmentation. Works in conjunction with vitamin E in carrot root oil to provide protection against photodamage.

Why Does Revision Skincare CMT® Work?

When applied topically– to the surface of the skin– Revision Skincare CMT® acts as a neurocosmetic, meaning that it improves communication between the nerves in your skin and your brain, reducing how we perceive pain. Within 20 minutes of application, it creates a soothing effect that also supports faster recovery.

It’s important to point out that CMT® Post-Procedure Cream is not a numbing cream.

Numbing creams work by blocking pain nerve signals from reaching the brain during the procedure.

CMT® is a neurocosmetic designed to ease discomfort and soothe distressed skin during post-procedure recovery.

As skin is feeling the pain and heat of a procedure, a combination of extracts, compounds and phenols target TRPV1, limiting and blocking it’s activation. TRPV1 (Transient Receptor-Potential Vanilloid1) is a calcium permeable ion that detects and regulates body heat. Blocking it reduces your perception of heat. Other key ingredients increase the production of beta-endorphins, which blocks the sensation of pain, giving an analgesic effect, decreasing your discomfort.
