Post-Laser Treatment Skincare Bundles

Laser treatment can leave skin feeling warm, tight and visibly sensitised. What it needs next depends on the procedure. A gentle routine can help maintain hydration and skin barrier comfort while the healing process takes its course.

BALENSE® post-laser treatment skin care kits focus on four different priorities: recovery, brighter-looking body skin, daytime sun protection and evening skin-tone care. Each kit brings together complementary steps without asking you to layer more products than your skin needs.

The right routine depends on your skin type, laser treatment and stage of recovery. Always follow your treating clinician’s post-procedure advice before introducing products or active ingredients.

Find Your Skin Post-Treatment Routine

Not every recovery routine looks the same. Here is how the four BALENSE® kits can fit into morning care, evening care or your pre- and post-laser plan.

Recovery Kit: For Post-Treatment Hydration and Comfort

When skin feels dry, tight or visibly unsettled after laser treatment, skin needling or a peel, the Recovery Kit focuses on comfort and hydration. The four-part routine brings together gentle cleansing, a hydrating serum and a comforting cream. Its exfoliating step is intended for later, once the skin is ready.

The Soakee Hydrating Serum uses HylaTech® active delivery to support sustained hydration. This is a flexible morning-and-evening recovery option when your clinician approves the steps. Add separate SPF for daytime protection, since sunscreen is not included.

Glow Kit: For Body Skin with Uneven-Looking Tone

The Glow Kit is designed for the body before and after laser treatment, particularly when visibly uneven tone or post-treatment marks are a concern. Its four-piece approach combines gentle cleansing and later-stage exfoliation with a soothing recovery gel and brightening body moisturiser. Glo Body Lotion contains tranexamic acid and alpha-arbutin to help support a more even-looking finish.

Think of this as a pre- and post-treatment body-care plan, not four steps to use immediately after laser treatment. Focus on recovery first, then reintroduce exfoliation and brightening actives when your clinician approves. Daytime sun protection is a separate step.

Protection Kit: For Daytime Recovery and SPF

For skin that needs recovery support alongside everyday UV protection, the Protection Kit makes sunscreen part of the routine. It pairs gentle cleansing and a soothing gel with a later-stage exfoliant and UV Defiance® SPF50, a broad-spectrum sunscreen for the face and body. It helps make protection a considered part of post-treatment care.

The cleansing and soothing steps can be incorporated into morning or evening care, as advised. Once your clinician confirms sunscreen is appropriate, use SPF in the morning and reapply as directed throughout the day. Save the exfoliating step until your skin has recovered enough.

Soothed Kit: For Evening Care and Visibly Uneven Tone

The Soothed Kit is for those who want to pair post-laser comfort with a later-stage night-time brightening step. Its four-step approach centres on cleansing, soothing hydration and gentle renewal when appropriate. Lumini Brightening Night Serum adds evening care designed to help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone.

This is an evening-focused option, although gentle cleansing and hydration may also suit your morning routine if approved. Wait for your clinician’s advice before using the night serum or exfoliant on treated skin. Sunscreen is not part of this kit and should be considered separately for daytime care.

Support Your Skin Through the Healing Process

After laser resurfacing or another professional procedure, skin may feel warm or look red and visibly sensitive. Every recovery is different. The first priority is to follow the aftercare directions from your dermal clinician rather than apply every product in a kit at once.

Gentle cleansing and hydration may be appropriate when your treatment provider gives the go-ahead. Leave Enzy Repair Exfoliant for a later stage and reintroduce other potentially irritating active ingredients only when advised. Depending on the treatment, that may take days or weeks.

Sun exposure can be a concern after a laser treatment. Follow your clinician’s guidance on covering treated areas and when sunscreen can safely be applied. Once appropriate, broad-spectrum SPF can be part of your morning skincare routine with reapplication during the day.

Shop Your Post-Laser Kit

Choose Recovery for hydration and barrier comfort, Glow for body brightening support, Protection for recovery with daytime SPF, or Soothed for an evening-oriented brightening routine. Each BALENSE® kit has a different focus, so you can choose what suits your skin rather than buying products simply because they are part of a set.

These kits support skincare around professional treatments but do not replace personalised aftercare. If you have had laser resurfacing for concerns such as acne scarring, wrinkles, or uneven skin tone, follow your clinician’s instructions on healing, makeup, and when to restart active skincare.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I help my skin heal after laser treatment?

After laser treatment, compromised skin needs gentle care to support its natural healing process. Use mild skincare products that help restore moisture and protect the skin barrier. Avoid harsh exfoliants, excessive heat and direct sun exposure. Some laser treatments also encourage collagen production, although visible improvements develop gradually. Follow your dermatologist's aftercare instructions to help minimise irritation and dryness.

What skincare products should I use for dryness after laser treatment?

Choose gentle, hydrating skincare products that help replenish moisture and support compromised skin. A moisturiser or hydrating balm approved by your dermatologist can help relieve tightness and dryness while the skin barrier recovers. Look for ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid and panthenol. Avoid strong active ingredients until your skin has sufficiently healed and your treating clinician approves their use.

How can I reduce inflammation and redness after laser treatment?

Redness, warmth and mild inflammation may occur following laser treatment. To help reduce inflammation, avoid hot showers, strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure during the initial recovery period. Use clinician-approved soothing skincare products to maintain moisture and comfort. A cool compress may also help relieve discomfort. Consult your dermatologist if redness worsens, becomes painful or persists longer than expected.

When is my skin completely healed after laser treatment?

Healing time varies depending on the type and intensity of laser treatment. Some people experience visible improvement within days, while deeper laser resurfacing may require several weeks of recovery. Skin can appear healed before its barrier has fully recovered. Wait until your dermatologist confirms it is safe to resume exfoliation and stronger active ingredients. Continued gentle care helps protect newly treated skin.

How can I protect my skin and maintain collagen after laser treatment?

Certain laser treatments encourage collagen production, which may gradually improve the appearance of skin texture, fine lines and acne scarring. To protect your results, maintain moisture with gentle skincare and limit sun exposure. Once approved by your treating clinician, use broad-spectrum SPF50 sunscreen daily. Proper aftercare supports the skin's healing process while collagen-related improvements develop over time.
