Optimizing healing with post-procedure skin care solutions from leading brands

Skin care procedures, whether professionally administered or performed at home, offer a modern way to revitalize and protect skin as we age. However, the journey doesn't end once the procedure is over. In fact, the post-procedure phase is pivotal, as it dictates how effectively our skin heals and, ultimately, how successful the entire procedure proves to be.

Recognizing this crucial phase, LovelySkin presents a handpicked assortment of the finest post-procedure products available today. Our collection is meticulously crafted to focus on skin repair, barrier rejuvenation, scar reduction and holistic skin recovery. Trusted names like Avene, Epionce, Stratpharma, Lasercyn and SkinCeuticals underscore our commitment to quality.

A quick guide to skin recovery products by procedure

Wondering which skin repair creams, gels, and lotions best suit your post-procedure needs? We’ve got you covered with the basics:

• Chemical peels and microdermabrasion: Chemical peels and microdermabrasion can cause skin sensitivity and redness. After these treatments, avoid exfoliants and strong ingredients and use soothing moisturizers and cleansers. As your skin heals, limit sun exposure, wear sunscreen and add in a barrier cream to help restore your skin barrier. 

• Injectables: Injectables, like BOTOX and fillers, enhance facial fullness but may cause bruising and swelling. To counteract bruising and swelling, utilize anti-bruising products and those that reduce redness.

• Microneedling: Microneedling, an in-office or at-home treatment, boosts collagen to address acne scars, large pores and sun damage. Since it punctures the skin, maintaining cleanliness and hydration is essential. Use soothing cleansers, serums with hyaluronic acid, moisturizers with ceramides and protective barrier creams to help restore your skin barrier.

• Laser resurfacing: Laser resurfacing targets aging signs like wrinkles and discoloration. Though non-invasive, it can lead to swelling and redness. Post-treatment, opt for hydrating products rich in aloe, vitamins C and E, and hyaluronic acid and avoid exfoliants and fragrances.

• Laser and IPL hair removal: Support the skin's natural exfoliation with gentle cleansers to address dryness and irritation post-procedure.

• Medical surgery scar care: Post-surgical scars can be minimized with proper care. Scar creams and gels, enriched with ingredients like silicone and vitamin E, effectively reduce scar visibility and improve skin texture. For optimal results, apply consistently and protect the scar from direct sunlight.
