Post-Procedure, Repaired
Understanding Post-Procedure Skin
After microneedling, chemical peels, laser, dermabrasion, or injectables, the skin is vulnerable: the barrier is thinned, collagen fibres are disrupted, and the immune system is activated. With the right support, repair accelerates and results are optimised; without it, irritation, pigmentation, or infection risks increase.
Lifestyle & Environmental Factors During Recovery
Recovery is a biological window where habits strongly influence healing quality and speed:
Diet & seed oils
Avoid inflammatory seed oils (soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, canola, grapeseed, cottonseed) which increase oxidative stress and slow healing.
Better choices: cold-pressed olive oil (dark glass), coconut oil, ghee, pure raw butter, grass-fed, grass-finished tallow.
Hydration & electrolytes
Pair water with minerals (e.g., Celtic sea salt) to support collagen synthesis and tissue repair.
Environmental toxins
Temporarily avoid harsh cleansers, petrochemical skincare, polluted air, and “forever chemicals” in plastics/cookware to reduce irritation.
Nervous system balance
Stress elevates cortisol and delays healing. Prioritise rest, nature, gentle movement, and uplifting company to support regeneration.
Lifestyle habits
Pause smoking, alcohol, and late-night stimulants; change pillowcases daily and avoid picking or exfoliating while the skin is closing.
Medication awareness
Some medications (e.g., corticosteroids, blood thinners) affect recovery dynamics. Follow professional guidance for your specific procedure.
How Matriskin Products Support Post-Procedure Skin
Matriskin’s biotech system is engineered to calm, rebuild, and shield after treatment. Each formula targets a critical phase of healing — from lipid replenishment and hydration to regeneration and protection.
Key strategies
- Tissue regeneration — Growth factors and peptides (Power Defense Serum) support collagen renewal and recovery.
- Barrier restoration — Hyaluronic acid, lipids, and ceramide precursors (RL/3 Serum & RL/3 Cream) rehydrate and reinforce structure.
- Inflammation calming — Vitamin E, D-panthenol, and botanical antioxidants reduce heat, redness, and discomfort.
- Second-skin shielding — Biosaccharide Gum-4 (CR/7 Cream) forms a breathable veil to defend healing tissue from friction and pollutants.
Note: All formulas are fragrance-free, non-photosensitising, and suitable for day-or-night, year-round post-procedure care.
CR/7 Cream
Protective Recovery – Second-Skin Barrier Shield
- Biosaccharide Gum-4 creates a breathable protective film over compromised areas.
- D-panthenol and hydrators soothe heat and tightness while supporting closure.
- Ideal immediately post-treatment and during high-sensitivity phases.
RL/3 Cream
Soothing Hydration – Daily Comfort During Healing
- Niacinamide and vitamin E visibly reduce redness and irritation.
- Delivers sustained moisture to limit transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
- Keeps the surface calm while deeper repair progresses.
RL/3 Serum
Lipid Replenishment – Foundational Barrier Repair
- Essential fatty acids and ceramide precursors rebuild structural integrity.
- Antioxidants temper oxidative stress in sensitised tissue.
- Prepares skin to tolerate subsequent actives as healing advances.
Power Defense Serum
Cellular Renewal – Growth Factors & Marine Antioxidants
- Supports collagen synthesis and strengthens newly formed tissue.
- Defends against environmental stress to protect procedure results.
- Layers easily under creams for sustained recovery benefits.
