Ready for a race? A test? A speech? No one would go in unprepared!
When you’re investing in an aesthetic treatment—whether it’s microneedling, laser resurfacing, skin tightening, injectables, or a chemical peel—your results don’t just depend on the provider or the procedure. Pre-treatment skincare is critical to optimize healing, minimize downtime, and enhance the long-term benefits of your procedure.
Think of it like prepping a canvas before painting—smooth, healthy skin responds better and heals more beautifully. Let’s look at how to get your skin prepped like a pro, featuring leading products from Hada including Alastin, SkinCeuticals, Revision Skincare, and SkinMedica.
🌿 Alastin Skincare: Strengthen and Clear the Way
Hero Product: Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar
This is the gold standard for pre-treatment prep. Formulated with TriHex Technology, Skin Nectar supports the skin’s ability to clear out damaged collagen and elastin, promoting a healthier extracellular matrix. By using this 2 weeks prior to procedures, you’re giving your skin a cleaner slate—so your treatment can work more effectively and your recovery is faster and smoother.
Use for: Laser resurfacing, microneedling, RF, and more.
💧 SkinCeuticals: Resilient Skin Starts with Deep Support
Hero Product: SkinCeuticals RGN6 (Retexturing Activator + Growth Factors)
RGN6 isn’t just about exfoliating—it’s a multi-modal formula that enhances cellular turnover while supporting barrier function. By priming the skin with this pre-procedure, you increase growth factor response post-procedure and reduce inflammatory triggers.
Bonus: It’s gentle enough to use daily leading up to treatment without causing irritation or flaking.
Use for: Microneedling, dermaplaning, and chemical peels.
🧪 Revision Skincare: Barrier Health and Brightening
Hero Product: Revision C+ Correcting Complex 30%
This powerful vitamin C serum helps boost antioxidant protection before procedures, helping skin resist stress from inflammation or microtrauma. It also supports skin tone evenness, which can prevent PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), especially for patients with melanin-rich skin.
Pair it with DEJ Face Cream to enhance skin barrier health before energy-based treatments.
Use for: IPL, BBL, and other light-based therapies.
🌸 SkinMedica: Nourishment and Regeneration
Hero Product: SkinMedica TNS Advanced+ Serum
Infused with growth factors, peptides, and antioxidants, this serum helps restore skin tone and texture over time and is ideal as a foundational pre-treatment serum. It sets the stage for optimal tissue response and improves collagen remodeling after treatments like microneedling and RF.
Use for: Injectable fillers, microneedling, RF microneedling.
💡 Pro Tips for Your Pre-Treatment Routine
- Start at least 10–14 days before your procedure.
- Discontinue exfoliants or retinoids 3–5 days prior unless your provider advises otherwise.
- Don’t forget sunscreen—sun-damaged skin is less predictable during treatment.
- Hydration matters. Use a hyaluronic acid serum to plump and cushion the skin before trauma.
Final Thoughts
Customized pre-treatment skincare enhances outcomes, reduces downtime, and promotes better long-term results. Ask your provider for a pre-treatment plan that aligns with your skin type, treatment, and goals—and invest in medical-grade products that go the distance.
