Post-Treatment Skin Care: How to Maintain YourGlow After A Med Spa Visit
There’s nothing quite like that fresh, radiant glow after a professional skin treatment. Whether you’ve had a Hydrafacial®, microneedling, chemical peel, or laser rejuvenation, your skin feels renewed — smoother, brighter, and healthier.
But the secret to maintaining those beautiful results doesn’t end when you leave the clinic. The right post-treatment skincare routine can help you extend your glow, protect your results, and ensure your skin heals perfectly.
At 1Face Skin Clinic, we believe great skin is a journey — and your aftercare is just as important as your treatment itself. Here’s how to look after your skin post-treatment and keep it glowing longer.
💧 1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
After any skin treatment, your skin may feel a little dry or tight as it begins to regenerate. This is completely normal — and hydration is key to recovery.
Drink plenty of water and use a gentle, hydrating moisturiser to help your skin barrier repair and stay plump. Look for ingredients like:
Hyaluronic acid – to boost moisture retention
Ceramides – to strengthen your skin barrier
Aloe vera or panthenol – to calm and soothe
At 1Face Skin Clinic, we often recommend post-procedure hydrators from our medical-grade skincare lines, designed specifically to support healing skin.
🌿 2. Protect with SPF — Every. Single. Day.
One of the most important post-treatment steps? Daily sunscreen.
After treatments like peels, laser, or microneedling, your skin is more sensitive to UV rays. Without protection, you risk undoing all that hard work by allowing new pigmentation or damage to form.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every morning — even on cloudy days — and reapply if you’re spending time outdoors.
☀️ Pro Tip: At 1Face Skin Clinic, we recommend a zinc-based SPF that’s lightweight, non-comedogenic, and ideal for post-procedure skin.
💆♀️ 3. Keep It Simple
Your post-treatment skin is more delicate than usual, so less is more. Stick to a gentle skincare routine for at least a few days after your treatment:
Cleanser: Use a mild, non-foaming formula to cleanse without stripping.
Moisturiser: Keep the skin nourished and protected.
SPF: Every morning, without fail.
Avoid active ingredients like retinol, AHAs/BHAs, or exfoliants for a few days (or until your clinician advises). Once your skin barrier has recovered, you can reintroduce actives gradually.
🧴 4. Avoid Makeup (Briefly!)
We know it’s tempting to reach for your foundation to show off that glow — but after treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser, it’s best to skip makeup for 24–48 hours.
This allows your pores to stay clean and your skin to breathe as it heals. When you do return to makeup, opt for mineral-based products that won’t clog pores or irritate freshly treated skin.
💬 5. Don’t Pick or Touch
If you’ve had a peel, you may notice some flaking or mild peeling as your old skin sheds — this is completely normal! But whatever you do, don’t pick or scratch.
Let the skin exfoliate naturally to avoid scarring or pigmentation. If you experience dryness or flaking, apply a hydrating serum or moisturiser to support the process.
🌸 6. Follow Your Clinician’s Aftercare Plan
Every treatment — and every skin type — is unique. That’s why your clinician’s aftercare plan is your best guide.
At 1Face Skin Clinic, we provide a personalized aftercare guide after every procedure. This includes:
How to care for your skin at home
What products to use (and avoid)
When to return for follow-up treatments or reviews
Following your tailored plan ensures your results are safe, long-lasting, and exactly as expected.
💎 7. Maintain Results with Professional Skincare
Want to keep your glow long-term? Pair your in-clinic treatments with a medical-grade skincare routine designed by your practitioner.
At 1Face Skin Clinic, we curate routines that include:
Antioxidant serums to protect from pollution and UV
Collagen-boosting actives to maintain firmness
Brightening products to prevent dullness or pigmentation
These professional formulations work synergistically with your treatments — helping your skin stay radiant, healthy, and strong.
🕒 8. Schedule Regular Maintenance Treatments
Your post-treatment glow doesn’t have to fade — with regular maintenance sessions, you can keep your results consistent year-round.
For example:
Hydrafacial® every 4–6 weeks keeps your complexion clear and luminous.
Microneedling or chemical peels every 3–4 months support long-term rejuvenation.
Laser treatments every few months can maintain tone, texture, and collagen production.
During your consultation, our experts at 1Face Skin Clinic will recommend a personalized maintenance plan based on your goals and skin type.
