Maximize Your Treatments Results with ALASTIN Skincare®
As we say goodbye to the last of the long, warm summer days, dermatologists and medical aestheticians are gearing up for the start of what we like to call “Laser Season.” With fall and winter offering the most ideal conditions for laser procedures – due to the need to avoid sun exposure post-procedure – there's no better time to supercharge your skincare routine.
So, how can we maximize the benefits of your laser treatments? By adhering to a well-planned pre- and post-care routine that prepares the skin for laser therapy. An effective routine not only speeds up recovery but also amplifies the results of your treatment. Thankfully, ALASTIN Skincare® products are expertly formulated to support your skin through every step of the way.
Why ALASTIN Skincare® is Your Ultimate Treatment Partner
Founded by renowned Plastic surgeon Dr. Alan Widgerow, who wanted to create products that lead to a better healing process. Their innovative TriHex Technology® removes aged and damaged collagen and elastin to help kickstart the skin’s rejuvenation process. After creating the skin’s optimal environment, TriHex Technology® rebuilds new elastin and collagen to provide visible changes at the surface level. With daily use, it continuously promotes the formation of new and healthy collagen and elastin while simultaneously clearing away the old.
Now that we understand how Alastin products can enhance laser procedures, let’s explore specific products to use before and after treatments!
