Good morning, Is it possible to perform a treatment with plasma on the face, neck and cleavage (same areas) during the anti-acne treatment carried out under the supervision of a dermatologist (Acnatec and Epiduo Forte)?

To @Justyna.90@op.pl:
When using Epiduo Forte, caution should be exercised when combining it with other cosmetic treatments. Epiduo Forte contains adapalene and benzoyl peroxide, which have a strong anti-acne effect, but can also cause skin irritation, especially at the beginning of treatment.
"Rash" after starting to use Epiduo Forte is a normal and frequent phenomenon. This is the result of accelerated skin cell renewal and can last for several weeks.
During the treatment period with Epiduo Forte, it is recommended to avoid additional treatments that could irritate the skin, including aggressive cleansing treatments.
Hydrogen purification is a relatively gentle procedure, but you should consult the dermatologist who prescribed Epiduo Forte before performing it. Your doctor will best assess whether your skin is able to tolerate additional treatments.
To help you during the "rash" period, you can use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, use light moisturizing creams, avoid sun exposure, and use an SPF sunscreen. If the irritation is too severe, consult a doctor. He or she may recommend reducing the frequency of use of Epiduo Forte or taking additional mitigation measures.
Please remember that acne treatment requires patience. The effects of using Epiduo Forte are usually visible after 4-8 weeks of regular use. If in doubt, always consult your treating doctor. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation: https://www.gdzi epolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-dermatologiem
I have a question. A dermatologist prescribed me epiduo forte ointment for "a million blackheads". Can I go to a beautician for e.g. hydrogen purification during the treatment period? In general, so far I have a rash after using it and I'm wondering if I can help myself in any way :)

Do not perform this type of treatment during treatment with Acnatac and Epiduo Forte. Treatments can be performed only a few days after discontinuation of these preparations (it is best to wait 1-2 weeks). Here you can find more information about Acnatac and Epiduo Forte and book them at the pharmacy: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/1836/acnatac-zel/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/95066/epiduo-forte-zel/apteki
