After undergoing skin rejuvenation treatments—like laser therapy, microneedling, chemical peels, or Ultherapy—your skin is more sensitive and needs special care to maximize results and minimize side effects. Here's a best-practice skincare routine to follow post-treatment.
1. Gentle Cleansing (AM & PM) - Use a fragrance-free, non-foaming cleanser (e.g., CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or La Roche-Posay Toleriane).Avoid exfoliating agents (like scrubs, AHA/BHA, or retinoids) for at least 5–7 days post-treatment.
2. Hydration is Key - Apply a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer regularly (2–3 times daily if needed).Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and niacinamide for barrier repair.
3. Sun Protection (Crucial!) - Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) even indoors.Physical sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are less irritating than chemical options.Reapply every 2 hours if you're outside.
4. Avoid Active Ingredients (Temporarily) - Hold off on products containing:Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin), Alpha/Beta hydroxy acids (AHA/BHA), Vitamin C (can be reintroduced gradually after 7–10 days).
5. Minimize Makeup Use (Initial 48-72 Hours) - Allow skin to breathe; if necessary, opt for non-comedogenic, mineral-based makeup.
6. No Picking or Scrubbing - Let any peeling, flaking, or crusting resolve naturally. Manual exfoliation can lead to scarring or hyperpigmentation.
