Pre and Post surgical Skin Protocol

Great Surgery Begins with Great Skin

Healthy skin plays a vital role in your surgery success.

After undergoing surgery, the skin experiences a significant inflammatory period, decreasing the skin’s health and function. When the skin’s health is impaired, your surgical wounds will be slower to heal, may be more inflamed, or may form scar tissue more readily than healthier skin would.

By preparing the skin with clinical skincare prior to surgery, you are more likely to reduce your recovery downtime, lower the risks of scarring/pigmentation following surgery and maintain your results for longer.

At your consultation we’ll help you understand:

Why skin health matters before and after surgery

What skincare and treatments can help

How our team supports you every step of the way

As part of your surgical pathway, we’ll introduce you to a tailored skin preparation plan.

Medical-grade skincare products to start using before your surgery

Gentle, in-clinic treatments to optimise skin health

Post-operative care recommendations to protect your results

We’ll go over this in more detail during your consultation, but if you have any questions beforehand, don’t hesitate to reach out.
