After aesthetic procedures: skincare with professional follow-up
The protocol depends on the procedure performed
Lasers, peels and other aesthetic procedures do not create identical needs or the same timetable for restarting products. Written instructions from the treating practitioner should guide cleansing and permitted skincare. A luxury cream normally enjoyed on intact skin does not automatically become appropriate for an area that has recently undergone a procedure.
Prepare questions instead of improvising product combinations
Ask when to resume makeup, exfoliation and familiar active ingredients, and have proposed references checked where necessary. Manufacturer resources may explain categories of post-procedure care without establishing your personal protocol. Increasing pain, an unusual reaction or a concerning change warrants contacting the treating team rather than adding another cosmetic product to the area.
