Laser treatments are an excellent way to rejuvenate and resurface the skin, improving concerns like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and uneven texture. However, many individuals worry about post-procedure sensitivity and recovery time. Proper aftercare is crucial to reduce discomfort, speed up healing, and optimize results.
At Rejuvaskin, we understand the importance of post-laser care. Our Skin Recovery Cream, formulated with skin-restoring ceramides, hydrating squalane, and soothing botanicals, is designed to help your skin recover faster and stay hydrated after laser treatments.
Why Proper Post-Laser Care is Essential
Laser treatments work by creating controlled damage to the skin, triggering collagen production and cell renewal. The type of laser used determines the depth of treatment and healing time:
-
Ablative Lasers (CO2, Erbium) – These lasers remove the top layer of the skin, requiring a longer healing process and intensive hydration.
-
Non-Ablative Lasers (Fraxel, IPL, Nd:YAG) – These stimulate collagen without removing skin layers, causing less downtime but requiring barrier protection.
Post-laser skin is highly vulnerable due to:
-
Weakened Skin Barrier – Increased moisture loss and higher risk of infection, scarring, and irritation (Pahnke et al., 2021).
-
Inflammation & Sensitivity – Temporary redness, swelling, and discomfort due to the skin’s natural healing response (Angra et al., 2021).
-
Higher UV Sensitivity – Skin is more prone to sun damage and hyperpigmentation, making sun protection non-negotiable (Shi et al., 2024).
A well-planned post-laser routine can help prevent complications and accelerate skin recovery.

Post-Laser Skincare Routine to Minimize Downtime
Following a structured recovery routine can help you return to your daily routine faster and achieve optimal results.
-
Hydrate & Strengthen the Skin Barrier – Moisturization helps calm inflammation and reduce irritation. Apply Rejuvaskin Skin Recovery Cream immediately after treatment (if recommended by your provider) and continue twice daily.
-
Protect Skin from UV Damage – Laser-treated skin is highly photosensitive, increasing the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation. Use Rejuvaskin Mineral Facial Sunscreen SPF 32, a gentle, mineral-based sunscreen designed for post-procedure skin.

Avoid Harsh Ingredients & Over-Exfoliation – Active ingredients like retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and harsh scrubs can irritate healing skin. Stick to gentle, fragrance-free skincare like Rejuvaskin Skin Recovery Cream.
-
Keep Skin Cool & Calm – Cooling methods help reduce swelling and redness. Use a cold compress or store your moisturizer in the fridge for extra relief.
-
Moisturize Regularly to Prevent Dryness & Peeling – Even if your skin doesn’t feel dry, hydration prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and supports healing. Apply Rejuvaskin Skin Recovery Cream consistently throughout the day.
-
Additional Recovery Tips:
-
Gentle Cleansing – Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
-
Avoid Makeup – Let your skin heal naturally for at least 48 hours.
-
Sleep on Your Back – Prevents pressure and rubbing on the treated area.
-
Follow Provider’s Instructions – Adhere to the specific aftercare plan given by your dermatologist.
