Take a Moment to Cherish Seniors

A-1 Home Care has been servicing seniors and the elderly in Los Angeles and Orange County since 1991, and after so many years in the business of caregiving, we and our caregivers have learned so much about ourselves and our customers, the most important being that seniors and the elderly, however much they may not be able to express themselves as they once used to, have lived rich and full lives, and deserve their right for care. As this photo below conveys, the body and mind may alter once people enter into their senior years, but no matter what, they will always see themselves as they were in the most pivotal point in their lives.

Our in home and live in caregivers understand this very important concept and for that reason, they do their utmost best to administer the best kind of Senior and Companion Care for their patients. Without them understanding that, we could not have grown to be what we are now.

Taking care of your skin post surgery/ After Surgery Care in Pasadena

When you choose to have surgery, you can take a significant step toward improving the appearance and health of your skin. For the fastest recovery and best results, it’s essential for you to take special care of your skin in the first few days and weeks after surgery.

Considering the fact that surgery includes sutures and stitches, it takes some babying to get your skin back or near original shape. 

How to Care for Skin After Surgery

1. Baby your skin. “To optimize your results, you want to heal without any discoloration. If your skin is really red, you really want to baby it after surgery to prevent pigmentation. Make sure you’re using mild, hypoallergenic products, like non-soap cleansers and fragrance-free moisturizers.
2. Be extra vigilant about sun protection.
3. Let your wounds heal. No matter how tempted you are to pick at your peeling skin or scabs after surgery in an effort to speed your recovery -- don’t. You could increase your likelihood of infection or scarring.
4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Whether you’ve had a minor procedure or an all-out surgery, drinking six to eight glasses of water a day will help rejuvenate your skin from the inside out and flush any toxins from your system.
