How to Plan Facials Around Other Aesthetic Treatments
Timing facials around injectables or lasers helps protect skin, enhance results, and prevent irritation. The right scheduling and facial choice ensure your skin stays calm, hydrated, and ready to make the most of every treatment.
In this guide, we’ll help you plan your facials the right way.
Understanding Professional Facial Treatments
Professional facials go beyond basic at-home care, offering targeted solutions to support your skin’s health and appearance.
Unlike DIY routines, these treatments rely on methods such as ultrasonic exfoliation, oxygen infusion, microdermabrasion, and LED or radiofrequency technology. Combined with clinical-grade serums and masks, they help refine texture, boost collagen, and enhance skin health at a cellular level.
Facials can help with a range of skin needs, including:
Hydration and Moisture Retention
Facials help replenish dehydrated skin, delivering deep hydration that restores softness and plumpness. Well-hydrated skin not only looks radiant but also functions better, maintaining its elasticity and resilience over time.
Soothing and Calming
Professional treatments can reduce redness, irritation, and sensitivity, leaving your skin calmer and more balanced. Calming protocols help strengthen the skin’s barrier, making it less reactive to environmental stressors and daily skincare.
Texture and Tone Improvement
Exfoliating facials gently remove dead skin cells and encourage cell renewal, revealing smooth skin. Regular treatments can help reduce rough patches, dullness, and uneven pigmentation, enhancing your natural glow.
Targeted Repair and Prevention
Facials can also stimulate collagen production, support barrier function, and address early signs of ageing. By strengthening your skin at a deeper level, these treatments not only repair existing concerns but also help prevent future issues, keeping your complexion healthy and resilient.
At SkinLab The Medical Spa, we design facials around your skin concerns to support lasting results. Book a consultation to find a treatment that suits you.
Facials After Injectables or Laser Treatments
Many people turn to injectables and laser treatments to smooth fine lines, even out skin tone, or improve texture in ways that regular skincare can’t achieve. These treatments help restore a fresher, more refined appearance — whether it’s to address early signs of ageing, pigmentation, or acne scars.
Taking care of your skin after injectables or laser treatments is essential to protect your results and support natural recovery. These procedures temporarily stress the skin, which can lead to redness, dryness, or mild irritation if not properly cared for.
By choosing the right facial treatments at the right time, you can soothe your skin, maintain hydration, and help it recover more efficiently — ensuring your results last and your complexion stays healthy and balanced.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Wait Before Your Next Facial
While it’s usually safe to go for a facial once or twice a month to support overall skin health or a few days before a big event, it’s recommended to wait at least 48–72 hours after injectables or laser treatments before resuming facials, and choose soothing, restorative protocols to aid recovery.
This recovery window allows treated areas to stabilise and reduces the risk of inflammation or sensitivity.
Opt for Calming, Hydrating Facials
Once your skin is ready, choose gentle treatments designed for sensitive or healing skin. Hydrating and soothing facials help maintain moisture, reduce redness, and support overall skin health while your skin continues to recover.
Support Your Skin Between Treatments
Even after the initial recovery window, using targeted home care products can help extend the benefits of both your aesthetic procedure and your facial treatments. Hydrating serums, gentle moisturisers, and barrier-supporting products keep your skin calm, resilient, and ready for your next in-clinic treatment.
Facials That Support Other Aesthetic Treatments
Certain facials at SkinLab The Medical Spa are designed to work alongside injectables, lasers, and other aesthetic procedures, keeping your skin calm and balanced throughout the process.
Local Dynamic Micro-massage (LDM) Facial
The LDM Facial uses targeted ultrasound technology to support skin repair and improve circulation. This process encourages natural renewal while helping your skin absorb active ingredients more effectively.
Using a patented 19MHz frequency, this treatment can help increase the skin’s hyaluronic acid content, promoting hydration and suppleness. It is suitable for most skin types and conditions, including sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
When performed alongside laser or injectable treatments, it helps ease post-procedure sensitivity, supports recovery, and maintains skin balance. With regular care, LDM facials may help improve texture, elasticity, and overall skin condition.
Dermacare Facial
The Dermacare Facial is designed to prioritise hydration, soothing, and barrier restoration. It’s particularly beneficial after aesthetic treatments, helping to calm redness, replenish moisture, and strengthen the skin’s resilience.
Using a specially developed formula with natural active ingredients such as saponins, this gentle facial helps soothe and protect your skin’s natural barrier, enhancing overall skin health. Combined with our Omega Light Therapy, your skin is balanced and restored to its natural state.
By nurturing your skin during recovery, the Dermacare Facial supports the results of injectables, lasers, and other procedures while maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion. With regular sessions, it can also help prevent irritation and strengthen long-term skin health.
