Concomitant Use of Dermo-Cosmetic Skin Care in Aesthetic Procedures: Systematic Review with Expert Panel Recommendations.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: As demand for nonsurgical aesthetic procedures increases, interest is also growing for desirable skin quality-radiant, healthy, and glowing skin-by patients seeking treatment to improve appearance. Although aesthetic medicine physicians are well positioned to advise on the role of basic skin care products in maintenance of results and healing, clear guidelines and protocols are currently lacking regarding the standard use of these products before and after aesthetic procedures. Methods: An international panel of dermatologists (n = 6) and plastic surgeons (n = 2) convened virtually in March 2022 to discuss the role of skin care before and after nonsurgical aesthetic procedures (including injectables, energy-based devices, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion). As an outcome of that meeting, expert recommendations were developed for periprocedural skin care with the goal of improving recovery time or treatment outcomes for each procedure based on clinical evidence from a systematic literature review of relevant articles published through June 2022 combined with the authors' experience. Results: Overall, 104 publications were identified and reviewed; publications could be counted more than once if they covered more than one topic (energy-based procedures, n = 70; injectable procedures including microneedling, n = 25; chemical peels, n = 21; microdermabrasion, n = 10). Common periprocedural skin care included daily routines utilizing cleansers, moisturizers, toners, hydroquinone, antioxidant serums, and sunscreens (as needed) across procedure types. Evidence supports pre/post-procedure routines (cleansers, moisturizers, toners, hydroquinone, antioxidants, sunscreens) across injectables (n = 25 studies), energy devices (n = 70), peels (n = 21), microdermabrasion (n = 10); high-evidence data limited, petrolatum/antioxidants show particular benefit post-laser. Conclusion: Panel consensus endorses tailored regimens to optimize recovery/outcomes. However, very few studies were designed to evaluate a specific routine vs no skin care treatment. Further studies are needed to provide clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness of periprocedural skin care in reducing healing time and improving aesthetic outcomes. Herein, we provide evidence- and expert-based recommendations for incorporating daily skincare, including cleansers, moisturizers, antioxidant serums, depigmenting agents, and sunscreens, into periprocedural care for minimally invasive aesthetic treatments. These regimens should be adapted to procedure type and individual post-procedural responses and symptoms to optimize outcomes and address specific patient needs.
