You’ve invested in yourself — smoother skin, plumper lips, a brighter glow. Whether you just got Botox, dermal fillers, a microneedling treatment, or a gorgeous resurfacing facial, the big question is: How do you make those results last as long as possible?
At Peak Aesthetics and Wellness, we’re all about delivering results and giving you the tools to maintain them. Here’s your ultimate guide to extending the life of your aesthetic treatments and keeping your skin looking radiant in between appointments.
🌞 1. Protect Your Skin from the Sun — Always
This one’s non-negotiable. UV rays break down collagen, speed up aging, and can even reverse the results of treatments like laser resurfacing or microneedling.
🔆 Your new BFF:
-
Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (daily!)
-
Reapply every 2–3 hours if you’re outdoors
-
Wear hats and sunglasses when possible
📌 Especially important after: Lasers, peels, microneedling, IPL, PRP
💧 2. Upgrade to Medical-Grade Skincare
What you use at home matters. Drugstore skincare often doesn’t have the potency to maintain (or enhance) professional results. Medical-grade products are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients that actually penetrate the skin and work.
🔑 Key ingredients to look for:
-
Retinol or Retinoids (boosts cell turnover and collagen)
-
Vitamin C (brightens and protects against free radicals)
-
Peptides (firming and repairing)
-
Hyaluronic Acid (hydrates and plumps)
-
Niacinamide (strengthens and soothes)
🎯 Ask Dr Brantly or your aesthetician for a customized routine post-treatment — we’re happy to help!
💉 3. Stick to a Consistent Maintenance Schedule
Most aesthetic treatments are not one-and-done. To maintain that fresh, lifted, glowing look, consistency is key.
Here’s a general guide:
-
Botox/Dysport – every 3–4 months
-
Dermal Fillers – every 6–12 months
-
Microneedling – every 4–6 weeks for a series, then 2–4 times/year
-
Chemical Peels – every 4–8 weeks depending on type
-
Laser & RF – varies; usually 3–6 sessions then maintenance 1–2x/year
-
Facials & Hydrafacials – monthly for best results
💬 Pro tip: Book your follow-up appointments in advance to stay on track!
🥗 4. Feed Your Skin from the Inside Out
Healthy skin isn’t just about what you put on your face — it’s also about what you fuel your body with.
🥦 Skin-loving nutrients to prioritize:
-
Collagen peptides (support elasticity)
-
Omega-3s (hydrate and reduce inflammation)
-
Antioxidants (berries, green tea, leafy greens)
-
Hydration — aim for 8+ glasses of water a day
And yes, that post-treatment green juice does count toward your glow-up.
🧘♀️ 5. Avoid the “Bad Stuff”
Certain habits can undo all your hard work. Try to minimize:
🚫 Smoking – drastically accelerates aging and breaks down collagen
🚫 Excessive alcohol – dehydrates the skin and inflames
🚫 Overexposure to heat – skip saunas and hot yoga right after treatments
🚫 Aggressive skincare – no harsh scrubs or actives on healing skin
Give your skin time to rest and recover, especially after treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or lasers.
💡 6. Pair Treatments Strategically
Combination treatments often give better, longer-lasting results. Think of your skin like a canvas — different tools can enhance different layers.
✨ Popular glow-boosting combos:
-
Botox + Filler for full facial rejuvenation
- VI Peel + Botox pigment, tone, texture, and wrinkles
-
Microneedling + PRP for texture, tone, and collagen boost
-
Laser + Chemical Peel for pigment and clarity
-
Hydrafacial + LED Therapy for hydration + inflammation control
We’ll customize a plan just for you based on your goals and timeline.
