The Science Of Post-Treatment Recovery: What Your Skin Is Doing (And How To Help It)

Post-treatment skin isn’t “irritated”—it’s rebuilding. Right after your peel, microneedling, or laser, your skin moves through four phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. The right aftercare turns that biology into visible results: think hydration, ceramide-rich moisturizers, and strict mineral SPF while you pause retinoids and acids. Expect glow within days, with collagen improvements continuing for weeks. At Skin Health Studios, we map your exact re-intro schedule so you heal faster and see longer-lasting results.
