Why It Is Important to Combine Dermatological Treatments with Ongoing Care, Explained by a Dermatology Clinic?!

Many people ask about post-treatment care and what kinds of care are beneficial to combine with dermatological treatments!

Today, we’ll take a closer look at this topic!

There are more people than you might expect who ask, “I’ve already had an expensive treatment—do I still need to take care of my skin personally?”

Of course, depending on genetic factors and the condition of your skin, some people may be able to manage their concerns with treatments alone.

But what does self-care mean? Consistency and maintenance are what matter!

Why should skin care be combined with dermatological treatments?

Even if you receive a high-end dermatological treatment or one suited to your individual situation,

most treatments provide either temporary improvement

or serve as a starting point for changes such as skin regeneration.

They can restore skin health from within—something that cannot be improved through home care alone—but

if you do not maintain your skin after restoring its health, the results will ultimately return to their previous state!

In addition, the skin is often temporarily sensitive and in need of recovery after treatment.

Therefore, care immediately after treatment, including sufficient regenerative care, moisturizing, and thorough sun protection, is also important.

The reason we always tell you to combine home care and healthy lifestyle habits with your treatments is that

we hope you can improve the concerns and underlying causes you have through treatment

without having those same concerns return because of a return to your previous lifestyle habits!

If you had to choose between treatment and home care, which would you choose?

This may be one of the most difficult questions to answer.

Many people usually say that home care is more important!

However, if your skin concern cannot be improved through anything other than a dermatological treatment, then that is not the right answer!

To be honest, if you also have the financial means,

I would recommend a treatment or therapy suited to your concern!

However, if that is not possible, and consistent home care can help delay overall skin aging or other concerns,

there are also cases where people are satisfied with that alone..!

Personally, I think it depends on the concern.

If you have acne or various other concerns that make your daily life uncomfortable,

I would definitely recommend professional treatment rather than home care alone.

However, if you naturally have healthy skin, I would tell you to focus on maintaining it!

Therefore, please be sure to consult a professional and make a decision suited to your individual concerns!

Important Post-Treatment Care: Treatment 1

Laser & Resurfacing Treatments

These include treatments such as Fraxel, intensive pigment laser toning, and various types of peeling, which intentionally cause damage deep within the skin to induce regeneration.

Immediately after these treatments, the skin barrier temporarily breaks down, leaving the skin extremely sensitive.

If you do not follow the post-treatment instructions or neglect your care, common side effects may include

hyperpigmentation and other issues that are not merely cosmetic inconveniences.

They may slow scar recovery or leave permanent scars,

resulting in conditions that require treatment.

Therefore, after treatment, you should take particular care to protect yourself from UV rays, avoid forcibly removing scabs,

and avoid actions that cause strong irritation to the treated area.

Important Post-Treatment Care: Treatment 2

Skin Boosters & Injectable Treatments

Injectable treatments such as Rejuran, Juvelook, exosomes (MTS), fillers, and Botox

also require caution.

Because these treatments involve directly injecting regenerative substances into the skin or injecting specific ingredients to improve a particular concern, they first leave wounds in the skin.

Therefore, if you neglect your care,

inflammation or infection may occur at the injection sites.

After treatment, it is recommended that you avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for approximately 3–7 days.

It is also important to avoid exposure to excessive heat to help prevent inflammation.

For any treatment,

What self-care is always beneficial?

Thorough sun protection:

Since the skin is regenerating or sensitive after treatment,

UV exposure can be harmful after any type of treatment.

Intensive moisturizing and regenerative care:

To help restore the skin barrier irritated by treatment,

moisturizer and regenerative cream should be applied regularly.

Avoid alcohol, smoking, and heat:

Alcohol and tobacco are unhealthy habits that can cause inflammation even after receiving an injection in the buttock!

In addition, skin that has become sensitive after treatment is vulnerable to heat,

so it is best to avoid heat for at least approximately one week.

Next time, we’ll take a detailed look at tattoo removal,

which many people have been asking about again recently!
