Sometimes the most important part of a skin treatment is what happens afterward.
New research involving women with sensitive, barrier-impaired skin reinforces an important principle: following an advanced procedure, skin may need thoughtful hydration and barrier support—not more stimulation.
This is especially important if you receive laser treatments, injections, peels or other professional procedures while also using active skincare at home.
Your facial treatments, home routine and medical-aesthetic services should work together. They should never compete for your skin’s attention.
Always follow your medical provider’s post-procedure instructions, disclose the products you use and ask when it is safe to resume facials, massage, exfoliation and makeup.
Beautiful results should never come at the expense of your skin’s health.
