Long-Term Maintenance & Skin Health

Five pillars we recommend discussing at your 3–6 month post-operative visit

Pillar 1 — Skincare

Daytime: Vitamin C serum + broad-spectrum sunscreen (applied each morning)

Nighttime: Retinol or retinoid for skin turnover and collagen support

Daily moisturizer — essential year-round

Optional add-ons: eye creams, neck creams, or targeted treatment products as needed

Monthly facials — please schedule your complimentary skin consult with our esthetician

Pillar 2 — Sun Protection

You can enjoy the sun — avoid sunburns. Favor early morning or late afternoon when UV intensity is lower

Wear hats, sunglasses, and protective clothing during prolonged sun exposure

Daytime sunscreens — ask us for our favorite products

Pillar 3 — Skin Resurfacing

Recommended 1–2 times per year depending on skin type

Options include chemical peels (TCA), resurfacing or non-ablative lasers, microneedling

Schedule a consult with one of our providers for skin type-based treatment suggestions

Pillar 4 — Skin Tightening

Recommended approximately once per year to maintain firmness and structure

Options include microneedling with radiofrequency (face, neck, décolleté, periorbital) or Ultherapy Prime®

Your provider will recommend the best option based on your anatomy, skin type, and areas of concern

Pillar 5 — Injectables

Botox: continue as needed to maintain muscle relaxation and prevent dynamic lines

Fillers: for a natural result, EZ Gel (PRF) is strongly preferred — particularly for the midface and under-eye area

EZ Gel uses your own platelet-rich fibrin for a biologically natural volumizing and brightening effect

Follow-Up Appointments

Next follow-up: approximately 2–3 months post-operatively (your coordinator will confirm timing)

Final post-operative evaluation: 6 months after surgery
