Post-Ablative Laser Care: Healing, Recovery & Why Professional Aftercare Matters
Ablative laser treatments deliver powerful skin renewal — but they also create a controlled wound that requires careful management during healing. Understanding what your skin needs after treatment can make the difference between good results and exceptional ones.
Post-Ablative Laser Resurfacing Aftercare
Why Proper Recovery — and Our Post-Care Facial — Matters
Ablative laser resurfacing is one of the most advanced treatments available for skin renewal, texture refinement and long-term collagen stimulation. But the quality of your results doesn’t rely on the laser alone — what happens after your treatment is just as important.
At Pink Laser Clinics, post-care is not an afterthought. It’s a carefully planned part of the treatment journey.
What happens after ablative laser resurfacing
Following an ablative laser procedure, the skin enters a controlled healing and regeneration phase.
In the days immediately after treatment, it’s normal to experience redness and warmth, dryness and tightness, and flaking or shedding as old skin lifts away. This is a sign the skin is renewing itself and rebuilding from within.
To support this stage, we provide specialised post-laser recovery products for the first 6 days, designed to calm inflammation, support the skin barrier, reduce discomfort, and protect healing skin.
This home care phase is essential — but it’s not the final step.
Why the day-7 post-care facial is essential
By around day 7, the skin has largely re-epithelialised, but residual dead skin cells can remain on the surface. This can leave skin feeling dry, uneven or congested — even though healing has progressed well underneath.
This is where our Post-Ablative Recovery Facial plays a crucial role.
This treatment is designed specifically for post-laser skin and focuses on gentle removal of remaining dead skin, deep hydration without irritation, soothing and restoring the skin barrier, and revealing a clean, fresh surface.
Clients often describe this facial as the moment their skin finally feels comfortable, smooth and brand new again.
What makes our post-care facial different
This is not a standard facial and it is never performed too early.
Our post-care facial is timed precisely for post-ablative recovery, performed with no harsh exfoliation, adjusted to how your skin has healed, and focused on comfort, clarity and refinement.
It allows us to professionally assist the final stage of renewal — without disrupting the healing process. This step is key to achieving a cleaner finish, better texture and more refined results after resurfacing.
The result: better healing, better outcomes
Ablative laser resurfacing delivers powerful transformation — but correct aftercare determines how polished and comfortable the final result feels.
By combining targeted home recovery care for the first 6 days with a professionally timed post-care facial on day 7, we ensure your skin heals evenly, comfortably and beautifully.
This approach protects your investment and supports the healthiest possible outcome from your treatment.
If you’re preparing for laser resurfacing or currently in recovery, our team will guide you through every stage of aftercare with clarity and care.
Warmly,
Pink Laser Clinics
