The Step Most People Miss That Can Makeor Break Your Treatment Results

When most people think about medical aesthetics, the focus is usually on the treatment

itself—whether it’s dermal fillers, TOX, or microneedling. What often gets overlooked, though, is

just as important: how you care for your skin before and after your procedure.

At Recalibrate, safety and results go hand in hand. That’s why we take the time to walk you

through every step of the process, not just the treatment day.

Why Pre-Treatment Care Matters

Preparing your skin (and body) before a procedure helps reduce risks, supports healing, and

sets you up for the best possible results. Think of it like priming a canvas before painting—the

healthier the base, the better the outcome.

Here’s how pre-treatment care makes a difference:

Minimizes side effects: Avoiding alcohol, blood-thinning medications, or certain supplements

ahead of time helps reduce bruising and swelling.

Improves results: Hydrated, nourished skin responds better to treatments like fillers and

microneedling.

Boosts safety: Sharing your full medical history allows us to tailor treatments specifically to you.

✅ Example: Before TOX, we may suggest holding off on alcohol and anti-inflammatories for a

couple of days to reduce bruising. Before microneedling, using a supportive product like

Environ Hydrating Oil Capsules can strengthen your skin barrier so it’s in the best shape for

treatment.

Post-Treatment Care: Where Results Really Happen

What you do in the hours and days after your appointment plays a huge role in how your results

look and last. Simple, consistent steps can make all the difference.

Why post-care matters:

Enhances recovery: Gentle hydration and barrier support help the skin heal with less downtime.

Protects your investment: Following aftercare helps maintain your results longer.

Prevents complications: Avoiding heat, sun, or strenuous activity right after treatment reduces

the chance of irritation or swelling.

✅ Example: After dermal fillers, we recommend avoiding workouts, alcohol, and sun exposure

for 24–48 hours. Once your skin has settled, applying a broad-spectrum SPF 30+—such as

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46—is one of the best ways to protect your skin and

your results. For microneedling, a calming product like Environ Antioxidant Gel can help

soothe redness and support recovery.
