The Science of Skin Recovery
Following aesthetic and medical procedures, the skin enters a compromised state characterised by barrier disruption, increased inflammation and reduced tolerance. Understanding how skin behaves during recovery is essential to supporting optimal outcomes. Below we outline the principles that inform Elari's approach and answer the most frequently asked questions.
Freqeuently asked Questions
Post Procedure & Recovery
Why is post-procedure skincare important?
Professional treatments can temporarily disrupt the skin barrier and initiate the skin’s natural recovery processes. During this period, hydration, barrier support and appropriate product selection become particularly important. Elari was designed to provide a more considered and consistent approach to caring for the skin throughout this process.
Which professional treatments can Elari be used alongside?
Elari has been developed with professional treatment pathways in mind, including treatments such as laser, microneedling and chemical peels. The appropriate products and timing will depend on the procedure performed and your individual skin, so always follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your treating practitioner.
Can I use Elari immediately after a procedure?
Certain Elari products have been developed specifically for post-procedure use. The existing Elari protocol identifies Skin Balm for the immediate recovery period, with other products gradually introduced as the skin progresses through recovery. Because procedures vary considerably, your treating practitioner’s instructions should always take priority.
When should I resume my normal skincare after a treatment?
This depends on the treatment, its intensity and how your skin is recovering. Elari’s professional protocols take a staged approach, beginning with calming, hydration and barrier support before gradually reintroducing cleansing and exfoliation.
Always follow the advice provided by your treating practitioner rather than reintroducing active skincare according to a fixed timeframe.
Where Science Meets Visible Results
Elari is formulated to support the skin throughout recovery, with a focus on barrier compatibility, hydration and comfort, and minimal, purposeful formulation. By supporting skin physiology as it returns to function, each formulation is designed to complement the recovery process and support optimal treatment outcomes.

Elari Skincare
Where should I start with Elari?
Your starting point depends on your skin and whether you're using Elari for everyday care or as part of a professional treatment protocol. For everyday use, begin with the products that address your current skin needs. If you're preparing for or recovering from a procedure, follow the Elari protocol recommended by your treating practitioner.
Are Elari products suitable for all skin types?
Suitability varies by product. The Gentle Cleanser is identified within Elari's professional materials as suitable for all skin types, including sensitised post-procedure skin. For other products, refer to the individual product page or seek advice from an Elari stockist or skin professional.
Can I use Elari if I have sensitive skin?
Elari products have been formulated with sensitised and compromised skin in mind. However, sensitivity is individual and can be influenced by skin conditions, professional treatments and other products in your routine. Check the individual product information and consult your practitioner if you're unsure.
Can I use Elari with products from other skincare brands?
Generally, Elari can form part of a broader skincare routine. However, when recovering from a professional treatment, introducing multiple active products can make aftercare unnecessarily complicated. Follow the routine recommended by your practitioner during this period.
The Importance of Skin Barrier in Recovery
-
When barrier integrity is compromised, recovery can be delayed and sensitivity prolonged.At Elari, we believe that supporting barrier function is foundational to post-procedural care.
The skin barrier plays a critical role in:
- Regulating water loss
- Protecting against external stressors
- Supporting immune response
- Facilitating repair
-
Post-procedural skincare should prioritise barrier strength and a stable recovery before correctional products and treatments are resumed.
Applying high strength actives too early in the recovery phase can:
- Prolong inflammation
- Increase barrier disruption
- Delay repair processes
- Compromise treatment outcomes
-
Elari products are designed to integrate into post-procedural protocols, providing purposeful skin barrier support as the skin transitions from treatment back to normal function.
Purposeful post-procedural care helps support barrier function and skin comfort while providing a simple, consistent approach to homecare.
This creates continuity between the treatment room and home, supporting the skin throughout recovery and the transition back to an everyday routine.
