Why Do We Recommend Starting a Skin Program 4-6 Weeks Before Treatment?
1. Strengthens the Stratum Corneum (outermost layer of the skin)
Prepping your skin 4-6 weeks in advance fortifies its outer layer, making it more resilient and better equipped to handle treatment. This ensures that the energy from treatments can penetrate more effectively, leading to optimal results.
2. Reorganizes the Epidermis and Nurtures Healthy Keratinocytes
Healthy keratinocytes are skin cells that protect your skin from environmental damage. By starting a skincare program early, you promote:
• Healthy Function: Keratinocytes that are functioning normally and free from stress or disease.
• Fully Nucleated Cells: These cells have an intact nucleus that supports growth, repair, and replication.
• Mutation-Free Cells: Ensuring the DNA within the cells remains unaltered prevents abnormal growth and impaired cell function. This supports overall skin health and minimizes risks like skin cancer.
3. Calms Melanocyte Activity
Hyperpigmentation is often a response to inflammation and stress, with your body producing excess pigment to protect the skin. Before treating hyperpigmentation, we first calm the skin using our carefully designed skincare programs. This helps reduce inflammation, allowing treatments to clear pigmentation more effectively and ensuring your skin responds positively to the process.
• Vitamin C: Found in all our programs, Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, calming free radicals and inhibiting hyperpigmentation through its tropolysin-inhibiting properties.
• Brightening Products: We also offer skin-brightening kits, some containing hydroquinone, which further inhibits hyperpigmentation and brightens the skin.
4. Stimulates Fibroblasts to Increase Collagen Production
Pre-treating the skin helps stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production. Using Vitamin C serum and growth factors before your treatment gives your skin a head start on collagen production, making treatments even more effective for a youthful, glowing appearance.
5. Encourages Faster Healing
When your skin is in distress—whether it’s due to hyperpigmentation, acne, redness, rosacea, sagging, or dullness—it’s a sign that it needs balancing. Our skincare programs begin working to calm and heal the skin, reducing recovery time after treatments and lowering stress on your system.
By preparing your skin in advance, you maximize the success of your treatments and protect your investment in your skin’s health.
