The Ultimate Guide to Post‑Care After Laser, Injectable, And Skin Treatments

At La Réserve Aesthetics Med Spa + Wellness, we believe that everything that happens post-aesthetic treatment is equally as important as the procedure. For example, whether leaving a Tribeca med spa NYC clinic after an exciting resurfacing laser or finalising the first round of Botox, all post-care does contribute to how well the results turn out and how long they last. 

Let us run through the most important things that you need to do after undergoing typical treatments so that the recovery can go on without a hitch, the results turn out glowing, and the downtime is minimal. 

Why Post-Care Matters 

Laser treatments, as well as those involving injectables and facials, awaken skin healing and rejuvenation. Unfortunately, a skin treated with such things is highly sensitive to immediate post-care. It can lead to irritation, breakouts, or delayed healing if proper post-care is not applied. 

This, we hope, becomes a far-fetched possibility. If you are given the right advice, you will hardly notice that you are recovering. In case you are still trying to figure out what kind of treatment will suit you best, you might look at Top Med Spa Treatments in NYC for 2025 – What Is In and What Is Out. Knowing what is trending can be beneficial to both your medical choice and the way you prepare for your recovery.

1) Immediate Aftercare: The First 24 Hours 

The whole lot that can be tested is done on the first day. This is post-care for treatment, whether you went to a medical spa in Tribeca for laser resurfacing, microneedling, or fillers.

2) Do not touch your face

Just let your skin rest. Bacteria present on your fingertips will cause breakouts or infections.

3) Makeup should be avoided 

Let the skin breathe. Putting on a face stops the possible entry of bacteria or clogs your skin.

4) Clean only with the most gentle cleanser

We recommend fragrance-free, non-active formulas like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser.

5) Ice packs reduce swelling

With clean compresses wrapped in a cloth, no direct ice.

6) Stay upright

Avoid lying flat for about 4 hours, especially after injectables, to prevent product migration.
