I know many of you are considering laser resurfacing treatments now. Please, carefully weigh all risks and fully prepare—this is one of the most aggressive procedures for the skin and can lead to increased sensitivity and pigmentation, as the damaged skin is prone to these issues.
A few important points: if you’re getting laser resurfacing to address post-acne scars and pigmentation, keep in mind that patients are often only 30-50% satisfied with the results, as expectations can be high. Also, if your acne isn’t yet in remission, this treatment may be unnecessary stress for the skin, as new breakouts and marks will continue to appear.
If you’re still determined to go through with it, here are some essential steps to help your skin handle the intense recovery phase:
1. Discontinue retinol and acids 10-14 days before the procedure. This step is vital to avoid extra sensitivity during treatment.
2. Prioritize hydration and skin recovery with products such as:
- SUPER HYDRA ENERGY TONER: This toner will be your best friend during recovery, providing refreshing hydration. It’s perfect for consistent use, even during the post-treatment phase.
- SUPER HYDRATING ANTI-AGING SERUM: This serum deeply boosts skin hydration, which will be key to faster recovery and overall skin comfort.
3. Add ceramides to your routine to strengthen and restore the skin’s barrier function, helping your skin build resilience before treatment.
