FAQs
When should I start using post procedure skincare?
It depends on your treatment and how your skin is recovering. Follow the aftercare instructions from your treating practitioner, especially during the first few days.
What ingredients are good for skin after a procedure?
Hyaluronic acid can help replenish moisture, while ceramides and panthenol can support the barrier and soothe dry or sensitive skin.
Which skincare ingredients should I avoid after a procedure?
Retinoids, exfoliating acids and other strong actives are often put on hold during early recovery. Your practitioner can advise when to introduce them again.
Can I use my normal skincare after laser or microneedling?
Not straight away in every case. Some of your usual products may be too active for freshly treated skin, so a simpler routine may be recommended while you recover.
How long should I follow a post procedure skincare routine?
There is no set timeframe for every procedure. A lighter treatment may need only a short recovery period, while more intensive treatments can require specialised care for longer.
Why is sun protection important after a skin treatment?
Recently treated skin can be more vulnerable to UV exposure. Suitable sun protection helps protect the skin during recovery and can reduce the risk of unwanted pigmentation.
