Why Do You Need It?

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.

Reduce Inflammation

Immediately targets erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) to make you socially presentable sooner.

Prevent PIH

Cooling the skin and reducing inflammation is the #1 way to prevent Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation in Asian skin.

Barrier Repair

Restores the lipid barrier compromised during treatment, locking in moisture and keeping out bacteria.

Soothing Postcare Treatment
The Protocol

Clinical Recovery Steps

A gentle, touch-free or minimal-touch protocol designed for compromised skin.

1

Cryo-Cooling

Using medical cooling devices (like Zimmer air cooling or Cryo globes) to vasoconstrict vessels and stop the 'burning' sensation.

2

Phyto-Infusion

Application of SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Masque or Gel to soothe sensitivity with botanical extracts.

3

LED Phototherapy

Exposure to Yellow (healing) or Red (anti-aging) light to accelerate cellular repair and ATP production.

4

Biocellulose Seal

A sterile biocellulose masque creates a protective barrier, forcing hydration deep into the compromised tissue.

Soothing Postcare Process
Why RAAC?

SkinCeuticals Flagship Standard

We use professional-grade formulations not available for home purchase.

Advanced LED Tech

We use high-intensity medical LED panels (like Omnilux/Healite), which are far more powerful than home masks.

Customized to Laser

The protocol changes depending on whether you had a heating treatment (Thermage) or an ablative one (CO2).

Rosacea Expertise

This treatment is also available as a standalone 'SOS Facial' for patients experiencing a Rosacea flare-up.

Sterile Environment

Post-procedure skin is open to infection. Our clinical sterility is safer than applying products at home.

Common Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.
