POST-SKINCARE REGIMEN
To enhance and maintain results:
1. Cleanse: Use a gentle, soap-free cleanser. We recommend Greenwich Skinlabs Calming Rosa Foaming Cleanser, which helps to reduce the appearance of redness due to evodiox ginger root.
2. Stimulate collagen: Apply a daily corrective cream on the face and neck every morning and evening. We recommend applying SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ serum every morning and evening to stimulate collagen reproduction as well as Alastin Restorative Neck Complex or Skinmedica Neck Correct to the neck and decollete area.
• Bonus: Adding on a retinol to increase cell turnover and boost overall results! Use only at night and 3-5 Days After Treatment.
3. Protect: Apply an Intensive Antioxidant Serum every other evening all over the face and neck. We recommend Greenwich Skin Labs Intensive Antioxidant Serum, which helps enhance your skin’s protection against environmental damage, improving signs of aging, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and promoting a firm and bright complexion. This antioxidant serum will help you achieve healthier, more radiant skin. This does not take the place of your SPF.
4. Moisturize: Apply a moisturizer in the morning and evening. We recommend Greenwich Skinlabs Hydraglow +, which helps to replenish and enhance the skin barrier post procedure.
5. Protect: Apply a broad-spectrum physical SPF of 30 or above in the morning and reapply throughout the day. We recommend Greenwich Skinlabs Reflect Riche which blocks both UVA and UVB rays.
WE RECOMMEND: 6 treatments for best results
