Strengthen and Soothe: What Your Skin Needs After Treatments

nly about redness." Just because your skin looks fine doesn’t mean it’s finished healing. True recovery involves re-establishing barrier function and calming underlying inflammation.

My Approach to Post-Procedure Recovery in the Clinic

The first 72 hours are critical. I keep it simple but strategic—hydration, barrier support, inflammation control, and protection from free radicals and irritants. That’s why I reach for Pavise Bioadaptive Stress Repair consistently for my post-care protocols.

It’s not greasy or heavy, but deeply replenishing. It restores the skin’s lipid matrix while providing calming and protective ingredients to shield the skin as it heals.

When I Recommend It:

  • After microneedling, especially with SkinPen

  • Post-laser to support hydration and reduce redness

  • Following medium-depth peels to soothe and protect

  • After injectables to calm any stress-related flare-ups

Why It Works:

Pavise’s formula combines peptides, barrier lipids, and next-gen antioxidants in a breathable, skin-supportive base. This isn’t just for cosmetic softness—it’s clinical-level recovery support.

Key Ingredients for Post-Procedure Recovery

1. Barrier Lipids + Moisture Boosters

  • Ceramides, Cholesterol, Squalane: Rebuild the skin’s lipid barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss.

  • Glycerin + Caprylic Triglyceride: Draw moisture into the skin and keep it there—essential for healing.

2. Peptides for Repair + Firmness

  • Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 + Nonapeptide-1: Support collagen regeneration and reduce the appearance of stress-related fine lines.

  • Hexapeptide-11: Aids in improving elasticity during the healing phase.

3. Calming Antioxidants

  • Milk Thistle, Astaxanthin, Resveratrol: Neutralize post-procedure oxidative stress and calm the inflammatory cascade.

  • Licorice Root + Bisabolol: Soothe redness and sensitivity without irritating fragile skin.

4. Brightening and Even-Tone Support

  • Alpha-Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid: Help prevent and minimize PIH—a common post-treatment concern, especially in deeper skin tones.

Tips for Protecting Skin After a Treatment

  • Don’t skip SPF, even indoors—UVA can pass through windows and compromise healing.

  • Avoid actives like retinoids and acids for at least 5–7 days unless otherwise instructed.

  • No workouts or hot environments for 24–48 hours to reduce inflammation and risk of flare-ups.

  • Stay hydrated, inside and out—drink water and use humectants.

  • Be gentle—no scrubbing, harsh towels, or exfoliants while your skin is recovering.

How to Use Pavise Bioadaptive Stress Repair Post-Procedure

  • Start using it the night of your procedure (if cleared by your provider)

  • Apply 1–2 pumps on clean, damp skin

  • Use it alone, or layer it under a balm or occlusive if needed

  • Continue 1–2x daily for at least a week (or until skin is fully restored)

What I See in Practice

My clients who use this during their recovery periods consistently report:

  • Less redness and irritation

  • Faster return to normal hydration

  • Smoother, more even-toned results

  • Better tolerance to retinoids and actives once they resume

This product supports the skin as it heals—which often means better long-term outcomes from the treatment itself.
