The big day is almost here! Your bag is packed, you’ve got comfy clothes for the hospital, and you’ve even pre-ordered the scar gel. You’re all set, right?

Maybe not. Have you also made sure you had a soft laser pre-treatment performed on the area that is expected to scar? By priming your body’s natural healing response, your skin will have a supply of naturally-produced collagen at the ready, and you’ll not only improve your rate of healing, but also the end result.

In this fourth info-packed episode in our medical series, The Joy Tuck Club talks with renowned scar treatment expert Lisa Lefever about everything skin related, from surgical prep to post-op care, to an essential and very simple daily routine, and how your own body can be prompted with a little mechanical help to start replacing older scars with rejuvenated tissue.

You’ll also hear Lisa talk about her own journey, how she persisted and is now changing the treatment regime for many patients, improving their outcomes and getting surgeons on board along the way. And who knows, maybe you’ll also become one of Lisa’s Lefever Angels and help others in the trans community.

Join us for this fascinating discussion. Scars are more than a bump in the road (or keloid in the dermis), but you don't have to accept their inevitability. Help is at hand.

The post treatment cleanser Lisa mentions doesn’t cost a fortune and is available online and off. You can find out more on their website at Clinisept+.

Contact Lisa through her clinic (Clinic Lefever) or by sending an email to cliniclefever@gmail.com.
