The Benefits of Post-Treatment Facials After Lasers, Peels, and Microneedling Treatments

At PRISM Aesthetics, we prioritize your skin’s health and recovery after treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. To ensure optimal results, we recommend scheduling a facial 14 days post-treatment. This article explores the benefits of post-treatment facials for various aesthetic procedures, including lasers, SkinPen microneedling, Clear + Brilliant, and RF microneedling devices like Sylfirm X and Morpheus.


The Importance of Post-Treatment Facials


Aesthetic treatments like lasers and microneedling promote collagen production, skin resurfacing, and overall rejuvenation. However, these treatments often leave the skin in a sensitive, reactive state. At this stage, facials play a vital role in restoring skin balance, hydration, and nourishment, ensuring that the benefits of the treatments are maximized.


1. Hydration and Nourishment


Laser treatments, such as Clear + Brilliant, and microneedling with devices like SkinPen and Morpheus, can temporarily impair the skin’s natural moisture barrier. This often results in dryness, tightness, and an increased need for hydration. A 14-day post-treatment facial can provide deep hydration to replenish moisture, helping the skin heal more effectively. Clinical studies have shown that hydrating facials improve skin elasticity and overall health, allowing the skin to absorb and retain moisture better after intensive treatments.


2. Promoting Collagen and Elastin Production


Procedures like RF microneedling with Sylfirm X are designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, essential for firm, youthful-looking skin. Post-treatment facials complement these procedures by delivering nutrients and antioxidants that support this process. According to research, facials that include vitamins and peptides help maintain collagen production over time, enhancing the long-term benefits of treatments like microneedling and RF therapies.


3. Restoring Skin’s pH Balance


After laser and microneedling treatments, the skin’s natural pH balance can be disrupted. This imbalance can affect the skin’s ability to protect itself from environmental aggressors and pollutants. A clinical study published in the Journal of Dermatological Science highlighted the importance of maintaining skin pH for optimal function and recovery. A post-treatment facial helps restore the skin’s pH balance, ensuring that your skin remains protected and functions optimally after treatments.


4. Supporting Cellular Regeneration


Laser and microneedling treatments are known for their ability to trigger cellular regeneration. However, the skin may need additional support to fully benefit from these effects. Facials that incorporate exfoliation and specialized serums enhance cellular turnover, encouraging the skin to renew itself faster. According to a study published in Dermatologic Surgery, patients who received post-procedure facials experienced enhanced skin regeneration and improved treatment outcomes.


5. Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products


After treatments like RF microneedling with devices such as Morpheus, the skin is more receptive to absorbing active ingredients. Facials performed two weeks after treatment are designed to deliver potent ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants directly into the skin. Clinical evidence suggests that the enhanced permeability of the skin post-treatment allows for deeper penetration of these ingredients, maximizing the benefits and extending the effects of your initial treatment.


Why 14 Days?


At PRISM Aesthetics, we recommend scheduling your post-treatment facial 14 days after your procedure to allow your skin ample time to heal and regenerate. This timeframe ensures that the skin is not overly sensitive and is ready to benefit from the rejuvenating and restorative effects of a facial. By this point, the skin is primed to absorb nutrients and hydration, making the facial more effective.
