Use gentle, hydrating products, avoid sun exposure, and wear sunscreen daily. Follow your provider’s aftercare plan to support healing and optimize collagen production.
Focus on balance. Use a gel or foaming cleanser, a niacinamide serum to regulate oil, and a lightweight, oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Don't skip moisturizer, as dehydration can trigger more oil production.
Smoking drastically reduces blood flow to the skin, depriving it of oxygen and nutrients. It also produces enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, leading to deep, premature wrinkles.
