Best Pre & Post-Procedure Skincare in Canada

Before a procedure, providers often recommend gentle, antioxidant-supported prep and pausing strong actives like retinol and acids for several days. Always follow your provider's specific pre-treatment instructions.

Gentle cleansing, barrier-repairing recovery creams, soothing serums, growth factors and strict mineral SPF support recovery after peels and laser. Avoid actives and exfoliation until your provider helps visibly clear them.

Timing varies by procedure and skin. Many providers advise waiting several days to two weeks before resuming retinol and acids. Follow your provider's guidance and reintroduce slowly.

Treated skin is more vulnerable to UV and prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation. Diligent daily mineral SPF is essential to protect results and prevent dark spots during recovery.

Growth-factor serums are often used post-procedure to support the skin's natural repair and renewal processes. Confirm suitability and timing with your treatment provider.

It depends on the procedure. Many providers advise avoiding makeup for a set period to let skin heal. Mineral-based products are often reintroduced first. Follow your provider's aftercare plan.

Skincare professionals use NeoGenesis Recovery, the 70% S2RM serum, to support the skin's own communication and barrier function around in-clinic procedures, and NeoGenesis says it can be applied up to four times a day. Barrier Renewal Cream pairs skin-identical ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids with Natural Moisturizing Factors for skin that feels tight or reactive, and the fragrance-free Cleanser is gentle enough for recently treated skin. Always follow the timing your provider recommends.
