Ask Dr. Macrene:Post‑Procedure Skin Recovery Protocol

Undergoing a professional skin procedure—like a laser treatment, micro-needling, or chemical peel—can jump‑start skin rejuvenation. To maximize the recovery process, Dr. Macrene Alexiades MD PhD recommends a carefully designed post‑procedure skincare protocol that focuses on DNA repair, antioxidant protection, hydration, and collagen stimulation.

Here’s how her signature High Performance Face Cream helps support optimal healing and visibly radiant results.

 

1. DNA Repair: Rebuild Your Skin’s Cellular Foundation

Procedures can cause controlled micro‑damage that stimulates renewal—but the key to faster, lasting results is supporting your skin’s natural DNA repair mechanisms. Dr. Macrene formulates her cream with actives that aid in repairing UV‑ and procedure‑induced DNA damage. By encouraging restoration at the cellular level, the product helps reduce inflammation and reinforce lasting resilience.

 2. Antioxidants to Neutralize Free‑Radical Stress

Procedure‑treated skin is more vulnerable to oxidative stress. That's why Dr. Macrene incorporates potent antioxidants—including olive‑leaf derivatives and mushroom extracts—to calm inflammation, soothe redness, and protect fragile new skin from environmental aggressors. These antioxidants help maintain the skin barrier while visibly reducing irritation.

3. Micro‑Encapsulated Hyaluronic Acids for Long‑Lasting Hydration

Dr. Macrene uses micro‑encapsulated hyaluronic acid in her formula for sustained hydration. Unlike plain HA, micro‑encapsulation ensures deeper penetration and extended release over time. This keeps healing skin plump and moist—accelerating recovery and enhancing comfort during post‑procedure downtime.

 4. Peptides to Stimulate Collagen and Strengthen Texture

Boost healing further with science‑backed peptides. These short amino‑acid chains help stimulate collagen and elastin production—key for restoring firmness, smoothing fine lines, and supporting a refined skin texture. The inclusion of peptides aligns with dermatologist guidance emphasizing their anti‑aging, hydrating, and healing benefits in post‑procedure care.
