???? 1. Follow Post-Treatment Instructions (We Mean It!)

We know it’s tempting to hit the gym or grab a glass of wine right after a treatment—but every med spa procedure comes with specific aftercare guidelines for a reason.

Whether it’s avoiding heat after Botox or keeping your hands off your face post-filler, following instructions is the fastest way to heal properly and the easiest way to make your results last longer.

???? 2. Always, Always Wear SPF

If you remember one thing from this blog, let it be this: sun protection is non-negotiable.
UV exposure breaks down collagen, accelerates aging, and fades the effects of treatments like microneedling, peels, IPL, and even injectables.

???? Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day, even when it’s cloudy, and especially after skin treatments.

???? 3. Hydration is Everything

Your skin loves water. Staying hydrated from the inside and out is key to keeping skin plump, smooth, and healthy—especially after filler or collagen-boosting treatments like Sculptra and RF Microneedling.

• Drink lots of water

• Use a hyaluronic acid serum

• Follow with a moisturizer to lock it in

Bonus: Schedule a Vitamin IV therapy session for deep hydration and nutrient support from within.

???? 4. Use Medical-Grade Skincare Products

Over-the-counter products are fine for maintenance—but to truly support your treatments, invest in medical-grade skincare recommended by your provider.

Think:

• Retinol to prolong the effects of resurfacing

• Vitamin C to brighten post-IPL

• Peptides and growth factors to boost collagen post-microneedling

Our team at Restorativ will help you customize your regimen to protect your glow.

???? 5. Stay on a Maintenance Schedule

Don’t wait until your results wear off to come back in. Treatments like Botox, filler, and facials work best when maintained consistently.

• Botox: every 3–4 months

• Filler: every 6–12 months

• Facials/Peels: every 4–6 weeks

• Microneedling or IPL: every 6–8 weeks

???? 6. Eat, Sleep, and De-Stress Well

Beauty starts within. The way you eat, sleep, and manage stress directly impacts your skin and longevity of your results.

• Eat antioxidant-rich foods

• Prioritize sleep and recovery

• Limit alcohol and sugar

• Manage stress (your skin notices!)
