Why is skincare part of the treatment?
An in-office treatment is only part of the result. The skin keeps renewing itself for days and weeks afterwards, and what we give it in that period – protection, hydration, the right ingredients – directly shapes how it will look and how long the effect will last. Conversely, improper care after a treatment can cause irritation, hyperpigmentation and a longer recovery.
That is why skincare with us is not an „add-on“ but a planned part of the protocol: at the examination and after every treatment you receive clear recommendations on what to use, when to start and what to avoid.
The basic rules of supportive skincare
- Gentle cleansing – no harsh foams, scrubs or hot water until the skin settles.
- Barrier repair – ingredients such as panthenol, ceramides, centella and hyaluronic acid help the skin recover.
- SPF every day – sun protection is the most important step, especially after peels, microneedling and laser treatments, when the skin is more sensitive to UV.
- Gradual return of active ingredients – retinoids, acids and vitamin C come back only once the skin has fully healed, as advised.
SPF protection: the most important step of any routine
Ultraviolet radiation is the main external factor of skin ageing – responsible for wrinkles, uneven tone, pigmentation and loss of firmness – and on skin recovering after a treatment it can diminish or undo the result. Sunscreen is therefore not a summer extra but a daily step, all year round, including cloudy and winter days (UVA passes through clouds and glass).
Recommendation: broad-spectrum (UVA+UVB) protection, SPF 30-50, applied as the last step of the morning routine; when outdoors, reapply every 2-3 hours. After peels, microneedling and laser treatments protection is strict – SPF 50 without exception, plus a hat and avoidance of direct sun.
What this section covers
We look at skincare through four practical areas:
- Post-treatment care – general recovery rules after the most common treatments: what to do in the first days, what to avoid and when to return to your usual routine.
- Skincare after microneedling and peels – specific care during the healing window, when the skin goes through controlled renewal.
- Daily anti-age skincare – the everyday routine that maintains results: antioxidants, hydration, SPF and active ingredients.
- CELL-DMX skincare – the professional Swiss line we use in our treatment protocols, with four targeted formulas.
Frequently asked questions about supportive skincare
Why can I not simply continue my usual routine after a treatment?
After a treatment the skin is temporarily more sensitive – the barrier is disrupted and the risk of irritation and pigmentation is higher. Only soothing and regenerative products are used in the first days; active ingredients return once the skin has recovered.
What is the most important product after a treatment?
A high-SPF sunscreen. The sun is the main enemy of recovering skin and the key factor in post-peel, post-microneedling and post-laser hyperpigmentation.
How do I know which skincare suits my skin?
Most reliably through a recommendation at the examination – the choice depends on your skin type, the treatments you have and the stage of recovery. Generic „anti-age“ combinations are not optimal for everyone.
