Care after fractional laser. What to recommend to the patient — a protocol for the clinic
A fractional laser — ablative or non-ablative — works through controlled damage: it creates thermal microcolumns in the skin that trigger collagen remodelling. The price of this mechanism is a temporary inflammatory state, erythema, swelling and massive production of free radicals. How the skin gets through the first 72 hours largely determines the final result of the therapy.
Day 0: immediately after the treatment
Skin after a laser is overheated and the epidermal barrier is open. The priority is calming, protection against water loss and neutralising oxidative stress at the source.
- touch-free application — a mist instead of a cream applied with fingers
- antioxidant ingredients neutralising the wave of free radicals (ROS)
- no acids, retinoids, alcohol or fragrances
- only indirect cooling — never ice directly on the skin
Days 1–7: regeneration and barrier rebuilding
In this phase the skin rebuilds the hydrolipid barrier and closes the micro-damage. The patient continues a simple, repeatable routine at home: gentle cleansing, an antioxidant mist several times a day, a barrier-rebuilding preparation and absolute SPF 50+ photoprotection.
In AURONN® comparative documentation, as early as 30 minutes after a laser treatment, the side of the hand treated with a biological-fullerene mist showed clearer calming, a smoother skin surface and better hydration retention than the side with a commercial post-treatment serum.
What to avoid absolutely for 7–14 days
- sun exposure and tanning beds — risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- sauna, swimming pool, intense exercise — overheating and microbiology
- AHA/BHA acids, retinoids, mechanical scrubs
- makeup on skin that has not fully closed
- touching and picking at the flaking epidermis
The AURONN® protocol for laser therapies
AURONN® partner clinics receive a proprietary post-treatment protocol for laser and IPL therapies: applying Golden Mist during and immediately after the procedure, plus a home care plan for 7–30 days. Skin supported with antioxidants returns to comfort faster — and the patient sees the difference, which makes it easier to resell home care.
