Photon rejuvenation, as a popular skin care treatment nowadays, can help improve various skin problems such as pigmentation, redness, and enlarged pores. However, to achieve the expected results, post-care is crucial. Many people neglect the care after the procedure, leading to skin redness, dryness, darkening, and affecting the overall experience. RM Rui Mei, as a brand focusing on skin care, has developed a practical post-care method for photon rejuvenation based on in-depth research in skin science. This method helps avoid care mistakes, allowing the skin to recover better and maintain the effects of the treatment.

Immediate post-care, soothing the basics

After undergoing photon rejuvenation, the skin's stratum corneum is in a fragile state and may have slight redness and a burning sensation. The top priority at this time is to provide soothing and cooling care. RM Rui Mei recommends using medical cold packs immediately after the procedure to cool the skin, replenish moisture, and reduce redness. It is important not to directly apply ice to the skin during cold therapy to avoid secondary irritation. Choose medical cold packs with simple ingredients to reduce the burden on the skin.
At this stage, the skin's barrier function is temporarily weakened. Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area with your hands and refrain from using regular skincare products immediately, especially those containing alcohol, fragrances, fruit acids, or other irritating ingredients. RM Rui Mei's post-care soothing products use gentle formulas with core ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides for moisturizing and repair. These products help establish a gentle protective barrier for the skin immediately after the procedure, reducing external irritations and aiding in quick skin stabilization.

Key daily care, sunscreen and moisturizing are indispensable

The skin after photon rejuvenation becomes more sensitive to ultraviolet rays. Inadequate sun protection can lead to pigmentation issues, compromising the previous skincare effects. RM Rui Mei emphasizes comprehensive sun protection measures when going out after the procedure, including applying sunscreen and using physical sun protection tools like hats, sunglasses, and masks. Choose mild medical sunscreens with an SPF of at least 30 and reapply every 3-4 hours. Even indoors, avoid prolonged exposure to UV rays near windows.
Moisturizing is a long-term focus after the procedure. Due to the effects of photon rejuvenation, the skin's moisture loss accelerates, leading to dryness and flaking. In daily skincare, opt for gentle and highly moisturizing products, such as RM Rui Mei's moisturizing repair essence, which contains multiple moisturizing ingredients to deeply hydrate the skin and repair the damaged skin barrier. Switch to mild amino acid-based cleansers to avoid excessive cleansing that may disrupt the skin's natural oils. Wash with lukewarm water gently and avoid vigorous rubbing.

Lifestyle adjustments to aid skin recovery

To prolong the effects of photon rejuvenation, lifestyle adjustments are equally important alongside external care. RM Rui Mei suggests avoiding spicy and photosensitive foods within the first week after the procedure, such as chili, celery, and coriander, as these foods may exacerbate skin redness or increase the risk of pigmentation. Increase intake of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and E, such as oranges, kiwis, and nuts, to aid skin repair and antioxidation.
Ensure an adequate amount of sleep and avoid staying up late, as lack of sleep can affect skin metabolism and self-repair capabilities, delaying the recovery process. Additionally, avoid activities like saunas, hot springs, and intense exercise shortly after the procedure, as high temperatures can dilate blood vessels, worsen redness, and cause discomfort.

Handling special situations, promptly addressing skin issues

If the skin develops slight scabbing after the procedure, this is a normal part of the recovery process. RM Rui Mei advises against picking or scratching the scabs to prevent scarring. Let the scabs naturally fall off. If the scabbed area becomes swollen, painful, or shows signs of discharge, contact the facility where the procedure was done promptly or consult RM Rui Mei's skincare consultants for professional advice.
Temporary darkening of the skin after the procedure should not cause excessive concern, as it is a normal part of the skin's repair process. With consistent sun protection and moisturizing, the darkening will gradually fade within a few weeks. RM Rui Mei has also introduced a specialized whitening and repair series for post-procedure darkening, which helps accelerate melanin metabolism without irritating the skin, promoting a quicker return to a fair and radiant complexion.
The effectiveness of photon rejuvenation is 30% due to the procedure and 70% due to care. Only by paying attention to every detail of post-care can the skin improvement be more ideal. RM Rui Mei always upholds the concept of scientific skincare, providing comprehensive support for consumers' skin health from the development of post-care products to the dissemination of skincare knowledge.
