At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, we believe that achieving beautiful skin is just the beginning — maintaining those results is what truly makes the difference. Whether you’ve just completed a series of LaseMD Ultra, SkinPen Microneedling, IPL, or any of our advanced laser and skin treatments, taking care of your skin post-treatment is key to maximizing your investment and enjoying healthy, radiant skin for years to come.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to protect and maintain your results, the importance of sunscreen, how ZO Skin Health products play a vital role, and why seasonal consultations — especially before summer — can help you fine-tune your regimen.
1. Your Skin Journey Doesn’t End With Treatment
Many of our clients complete a series of treatments targeting concerns like pigmentation, acne scarring, fine lines, or skin laxity and experience incredible transformations. However, results don’t last forever without continued care. Just like going to the gym, consistency is key — your skin needs ongoing support through the right skincare products and sun protection to preserve and build on those results.
This is where a strong at-home routine becomes crucial, and why we emphasize post-treatment maintenance as a core part of every client’s journey.
2. Why Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable
If there’s one product that every client needs — regardless of age, skin type, or treatment — it’s broad-spectrum sunscreen.
After laser treatments or microneedling, your skin is often more vulnerable to UV exposure. Even small amounts of sun can undo the progress you’ve made by triggering pigmentation, inflammation, or collagen breakdown. That’s why we strongly recommend reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours, especially during spring and summer or when spending time outdoors.
At Prestige, we carry a curated selection of medical-grade sunscreens from ZO Skin Health that not only provide high-level UVA/UVB protection but also offer added antioxidant and anti-pollution defense — perfect for everyday wear in the Burnaby and Vancouver climate.
Some of our top SPF picks include:
ZO Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 50 – Lightweight and non-greasy for daily use
ZO Daily Sheer SPF 50 – Water- and sweat-resistant, great for active lifestyles
ZO Smart Tone SPF 50 – Tinted for a natural, adaptive finish
ZO Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30 – Ideal under makeup for a smooth, matte base
If you're unsure which one is right for you, we’re happy to guide you during your next consultation!
3. The Power of ZO Skin Health Products in Maintaining Results
Medical-grade skincare is the backbone of lasting skin health — and ZO Skin Health products are designed to work in synergy with the treatments you receive in-clinic.
After professional treatments, your skin is more receptive to active ingredients. This makes it the perfect time to incorporate or adjust targeted skincare products that support:
Collagen production
Barrier restoration
Pigment control
Hydration and texture smoothing
Whether you’re using Brightalive to suppress excess pigmentation, Exfoliation Polish for gentle resurfacing, or Retinol Skin Brightener to accelerate cell turnover, these products help ensure your results continue to evolve — not fade.
And remember: skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we recommend regular check-ins to ensure your routine is aligned with your skin’s changing needs, especially during seasonal transitions.
4. Why You May Need a Pre-Summer Skin Consultation
As summer approaches, your skincare needs may shift. Increased sun exposure, outdoor activities, humidity, and travel all affect how your skin behaves — and how it responds to your current products.
Before heading into the warmer months, we often recommend a brief in-clinic or virtual consultation to:
Review and adjust your product usage
Discuss any skin changes or new concerns
Make sure your SPF protection is up to date
Plan a maintenance treatment schedule (such as monthly facials or skin-boosting laser sessions)
For example, you may need to pause or decrease certain actives like retinol depending on y our summer lifestyle. On the other hand, you might benefit from adding hydrating antioxidants or serums to prevent summer-related flare-ups.
These quick check-ins help us tailor your regimen to the season, so you continue to feel confident and protected all year long.

We don’t just focus on the short-term “glow.” At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, our goal is to be your trusted skin health partner, helping you build a sustainable, long-term plan based on your goals, lifestyle, and skin’s evolution.
