How to Maintain Results After a Chemical Peel or Laser Treatment

Investing in a chemical peel or laser treatment is an incredible step toward achieving radiant, smooth skin. But the journey doesn’t stop once you leave the spa. Proper post-treatment care is essential to protect your results, enhance their longevity, and ensure your skin heals beautifully. At Nalu Skin & Body, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process so you can enjoy your glow for as long as possible.

1. Follow Your Esthetician’s Aftercare Instructions

Your esthetician will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to the treatment you received and your skin type. This may include avoiding certain products, how to cleanse your skin, and when to resume your regular routine. Following these instructions closely is the best way to ensure optimal results.

2. Stay Hydrated

Hydration is key after a chemical peel or laser treatment. Drink plenty of water to support your skin’s healing from the inside out. To keep your skin hydrated externally, use gentle, soothing products like a recovery spray or lightweight hydrating serum. Our Hydromist Recovery Spray, included in our Sensitive Skin Recovery Kit, is perfect for calming post-treatment skin.

3. Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after a peel or laser treatment, making sun protection a non-negotiable. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 every morning and reapply throughout the day. Our Solar Defender SPF provides lightweight, acne-safe sun protection to shield your skin without clogging pores.

4. Avoid Harsh Products and Exfoliation

It’s tempting to dive back into your usual skincare routine, but post-treatment skin requires a gentler approach. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinol, and other active ingredients until your skin is fully healed. Instead, stick to calming, nourishing products that support the skin’s barrier. For example, our Green Tea Gentle Cleanser offers a soothing cleanse without stripping the skin.

5. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

Keeping your skin well-moisturized is crucial after treatments like chemical peels or lasers. A nourishing moisturizer will help repair your skin barrier, reduce dryness, and improve your overall results. Our Balance Boost Crème is an excellent option for restoring hydration while promoting a smooth, glowing complexion.

6. Resist the Urge to Pick or Peel

After a chemical peel, you may notice your skin shedding or flaking as it regenerates. Similarly, laser treatments can leave your skin feeling tight or dry. It’s vital to let this process happen naturally—no picking or peeling! Interfering with your skin’s healing can lead to irritation, scarring, or uneven results.

7. Schedule Maintenance Treatments

For lasting results, follow-up treatments may be necessary. Whether it’s a series of laser sessions or periodic peels, keeping up with your treatment plan will maximize your skin’s improvement over time. Talk to your esthetician about a schedule that works best for your goals.

8. Commit to a Consistent Skincare Routine

Your at-home skincare routine plays a huge role in maintaining your results. Invest in high-quality products that complement your treatments and target your specific concerns. For instance, our Smooth & Brighten Kit is ideal for addressing texture and hyperpigmentation following advanced treatments.

9. Be Patient with Your Results

Remember, skin transformations don’t happen overnight. It may take weeks for your full results to appear after a chemical peel or laser treatment. Be consistent with your aftercare and trust the process.

Invest in Your Skin, Protect Your Glow

Taking care of your skin after a chemical peel or laser treatment is just as important as the treatment itself. With proper aftercare and the right products, you can enjoy smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin for months to come. Need help finding the perfect post-treatment routine?
