Ever had a facial or laser treatment… only to feel like the glow didn’t last?
The secret isn’t doing more treatments — it’s supporting them with the right at-home skincare.
At Platinum Cosmetics, we help our Port Melbourne clients get the most out of their investment by combining professional treatments with tailored home routines.
Here’s why it matters — and how to do it right.
What Treatments Can Do — and What They Can’t
In-clinic treatments (like laser, facials, or skin rejuvenation) work by:
Stimulating collagen
Refining texture and tone
Targeting pigmentation or scarring
Delivering high-performance actives safely
But treatments are moments — your skin still needs consistent, daily care to:
Maintain hydration
Protect from UV and pollution
Prevent future damage
Support healing and renewal
Why Skincare Makes or Breaks Your Results
After a clinic treatment, your skin is more receptive to ingredients — but also more vulnerable.
Using the right skin care helps you:
Avoid irritation or flare-ups
Reinforce barrier repair
Maximise collagen-building and pigment-evening effects
Sustain your glow long after treatment
For example:
After Fotona SmoothEye? Use a peptide-rich, fragrance-free eye cream.
Following laser or resurfacing? Stick with non-active hydrators, SPF, and gentle cleansing for a few days.
In between facials? Add a mild exfoliant or antioxidant serum to keep results building.
What to Use — and What to Avoid
Our team will guide you, but as a rule of thumb:
✅ Yes to:
Hyaluronic acid
Ceramides
Peptides
Vitamin C (after the healing window)
Gentle exfoliants like lactic or mandelic acid (when appropriate)
🚫 Avoid immediately post-treatment:
Retinoids
Scrubs or mechanical exfoliants
High-concentration acids
Fragrance-heavy or essential oil-based products
Simple Doesn’t Mean Ineffective
You don’t need 12 steps or a skincare shelf. You need the right mix of:
Daily hydration
Barrier support
SPF every day (even in winter)
The correct actives for your concern
We’ll help you streamline, not overcomplicate.
