SoothingPostcare
Accelerate Healing and Banish Redness Immediately
A specialized medical protocol designed to calm inflammation, reduce heat, and restore the skin barrier immediately after laser or energy treatments. Especially important for melanin-rich or PIH-prone skin.
The Crucial Step Zero
High-energy treatments like Ultherapy or Microneedling create controlled trauma to stimulate collagen. Proper post-care is not optional—it ensures safety. This treatment bridges the gap between the procedure and your home care.
Soothing Postcare is a specialized medical protocol designed to calm inflammation, reduce heat, and restore the skin barrier immediately after laser or energy treatments.

Common Questions
Is this necessary after every treatment?+
It is highly recommended after 'hot' or 'invasive' treatments like Sylfirm X, CO2 Laser, or PicoWay. For milder treatments like HydraFacial, it's optional but always beneficial for relaxation.
Can I just put ice on my face at home?+
Home icing is good, but uncontrolled cold can cause 'freezer burn' on sensitive tissue. Our medical cooling is temperature-controlled. Plus, LED light therapy provides cellular healing that ice cannot offer.
Does it work for sunburns or allergic reactions?+
Yes! The Soothing Postcare is an excellent standalone treatment for acute sunburns, windburns, or sudden allergic dermatitis flare-ups to bring down heat and swelling quickly.
How long does it take?+
It typically adds about 20-30 minutes to your primary treatment. It's the perfect time to relax while your skin starts its healing process.
What products do you use?+
We primarily use the SkinCeuticals professional line (Phyto Corrective, Biocellulose Masque) and medical-grade hyaluronic acid, which are sterile and specifically formulated for post-procedure skin.
Can Soothing Postcare be done as a standalone treatment?+
Yes. In addition to being post-procedure care, it can also be used as a standalone SOS rescue treatment for acute sunburn, windburn, rosacea flare-ups, or sudden allergic dermatitis to quickly reduce heat and swelling.
