- Stay Out of the Sun: The best way to maintain your results is to stay out of the sun and wear sunblock daily.
- Take Care of Your Skin: Now that your skin is healthy, you want to keep it that way. Sunscreen, antioxidants and a moisturizer are essential. Antioxidants repair damage and protect skin to prevent future damage. Moisturizers keep skin hydrated.
- Use a Retinol Regularly: Over-the-counter and prescription-strength retinoids reinforce laser results by keeping the skin in repair mode, creating new collagen and exfoliating the surface.
- Interval Treatments: Nothing lasts forever—not even the results of a laser. Re-treatments every now and then will help maintain the longevity of your results for healthier skin.
