Skincare After Laser Treatment: The Korean Clinic Aftercare Routine
Korean dermatology clinics send patients home with a simple aftercare kit. Here is the routine and the products that go in it.
Always follow your provider first
Aftercare depends on the procedure. Use this as a general guide and follow your clinician's instructions.
Days 1 to 3
Cleanse with lukewarm water or a very mild cleanser. Apply a panthenol gel to comfort, then a silicone post-care gel or a centella balm. Avoid makeup and sun.
Days 4 to 14
Add a ceramide cream and a PDRN ampoule. Keep using mineral sunscreen and avoid actives until your provider says otherwise.
Why Korean clinics favor these products
They are gentle, fragrance-free and focused on comfort and barrier support. See silicone gel for post-procedure care.
Frequently asked questions
When can I use retinol after laser?
