🚫 5 Things You Should Never Do After a Skin Procedure

Smart aftercare that preserves results and reduces side effects

Hello, this is Yonsei Bomvit Dermatology.

These days, more and more people are getting skin procedures.

There are many different types of procedures, such as toning, Juvelook, Rejuran, LDM, fillers, and Botox, but did you know that aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself?

No matter how good the procedure is, please remember that even one action afterward can reduce its effect or irritate the skin!

Today, we’ll summarize the “5 things you should never do after a skin procedure,” as emphasized by dermatology specialists.

5 things you should never do after a skin procedure

1️⃣ Hot saunas, half-body baths, jjimjilbang

• After a procedure, the skin is more sensitive to heat.

• High temperatures can trigger inflammation or worsen pigmentation.

• ✔ Please avoid this for at least 3–5 days after the procedure.

2️⃣ Scrubbing hard, using exfoliating mitts, peeling, scrubs

• Physical irritation is a no-go when the skin barrier is weakened!

• In particular, avoid the habit of rubbing your face hard with a towel or using your hands to scrub.

• ✔ Wash your face with lukewarm water, and gently pat your skin dry with a towel.

3️⃣ Drinking alcohol and smoking

• Alcohol expands blood vessels and interferes with skin recovery.

• Smoking can suppress collagen production and cause pigmentation.

• ✔ We recommend no alcohol and no smoking for at least 2–3 days.

4️⃣ Neglecting sun protection

• After laser treatment, the skin becomes more sensitive to external irritation.

• Exposure to ultraviolet rays increases the risk of pigmentation (PIH).

• ✔ Use SPF 30 or higher even indoors, and reapply every 2 hours when going outside!

5️⃣ Changing skincare products arbitrarily

• Many people end up with breakouts after saying, “I tried the serum I heard was good.”

• Right after a procedure, the safest approach is to keep a simple routine focused on soothing and moisturizing.

• ✔ The correct choice is to follow the aftercare routine provided by the dermatologist!

📌 In closing

A procedure is not the “end” but the “beginning.”

It’s no exaggeration to say that the care you provide over the next few days determines the result of the procedure.

If you manage your skin well, the effects can be maximized; if you manage it poorly, side effects or pigmentation may occur instead.

At Yonsei Bomvit Dermatology, we provide accurate guidance on both pre- and post-procedure care, as well as which cosmetics are necessary and which are not.
