How you care for your skin after an injury, a professional skin treatment, or even post-surgery can make a world of difference to your final results. Healing takes time, but it also requires the right skincare to guide and support the process. This helps the skin repair itself effectively, minimises scarring, and in some cases prevents it altogether.

When the skin is injured, your body immediately begins a complex repair process: inflammation works to clean and protect the wound, new collagen is produced to rebuild the structure and fresh skin cells form to close and strengthen the area. During this time the skin is more vulnerable, it loses moisture more easily, is highly sensitive to environmental irritants and can develop uneven texture or pigmentation if not cared for properly.

Using the right healing skincare products provides the skin with what it needs most: hydration to keep cells plump and flexible, nutrients and antioxidants to support collagen formation and a protective barrier to shield the new skin from infection, irritation or UV damage. This is how raised surgical scars can be softened, post-treatment redness can be calmed and everyday scrapes can heal faster and more evenly.

When you feed, protect and support your skin during the healing stage, you’re not just helping it recover, you’re helping it recover with minimal scarring.
