Methods for treatment of human skin damaged by laser treatment or chemical peelings and compositions useful in such methods

Methods for treatment of human skin damaged by laser treatment or chemical peelings, said method comprising topical application of a lamellar oil-in-water system, said lamellar oil-in-water system comprising at least one vegetable oil as the oily component and at least one hydrogenated phospholipid as emulsifier, said at least one hydrogenated phospholipid comprising not more than 10 percent by weight of negatively charged phospholipids the remainder being neutral phospholipids. Compositions useful in carrying out said methods are lamellar oil-in-water systems comprising at least one vegetable oil as the oily component and at least one hydrogenated phospholipid as emulsifier, said at least one hydrogenated phospholipid comprising not more than 10 percent by weight of negatively charged phospholipids the remainder being neutral phospholipids. Said lamellar oil-in-water system may further comprises sodium carboxymethyl -glucan (Sodium Carboxymethyl Betaglucan) as a compound for improving wound healing and/or coenzyme Q10 as a compound for improving skin regeneration.
