What to Use After a Cosmetic Procedure: A Post Procedure Skincare Guide

Short answer: after a cosmetic procedure, the routine at Dr. Batniji Skincare is built around three goals: support the skin from within during recovery, care for bruising and swelling early on, and improve the look of scars over time. Always follow the instructions from your own surgeon or provider first.

Which products are in the post procedure routine?

  • Clinical Support is an AM and PM oral supplement formulated to support wound healing, immune health and antioxidant defense during and after cosmetic procedures.
  • Skinuva Bruise is an FDA registered homeopathic oral supplement formulated to improve the appearance of bruising and swelling associated with cosmetic procedures. It is taken before and immediately after a procedure.
  • Skinuva Scar Cream is a physician designed topical scar therapy that combines selective growth factors with a silicone cream base to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
  • Refresh and Restore are daily moisturizers formulated for dry or dehydrated, aging or post treatment skin.

How do these products work together?

Clinical Support supports recovery from within, taken morning and evening. Skinuva Bruise is used in the early phase, when bruising and swelling are most visible. Skinuva Scar Cream is used once your provider says the skin is ready for a topical scar product, and is applied consistently over time. A gentle moisturizer keeps treated skin comfortable throughout.

How long until I see results on a scar?

Improvement in the appearance of scars develops gradually with consistent application. Results vary with the type, age and location of the scar, so older scars generally need more time than recent ones.

Can I keep using retinol or exfoliating acids after a procedure?

Ask your provider before restarting active ingredients such as retinol or acids on treated skin. The right timing depends on the procedure and how your skin is healing.

Where can I see the full set?

All of these products are grouped in the Post Procedure collection. Patients of Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach and Beverly Hills can also ask the practice which products fit their recovery plan.
