Most skincare tends to forget that skin is an intelligent biological system, one that undergoes drastic changes, both visible and invisible, when subjected to the myriad of procedures now available to treat various skin concerns. This begs a surprisingly overlooked question: what actually happens to the skin following microneedling, laser resurfacing or other advanced aesthetic treatments? Even non-invasive procedures with limited downtime can disrupt the skin barrier, trigger oxidative stress and cause excessive inflammation. The skin enters a recovery window, and what transpires during this window may shape what happens next.
In general, there are three broad stages of skin’s healing process following non-invasive procedures:
- The inflammatory stage involves the influx of blood to the disrupted skin. The inflammatory stage is characterized by redness around the treatment area, swelling, pain, and heat.
- The proliferative stage starts at 48 hours and is characterized by reorganization and growth of blood vessels. This stage of tissue regeneration depends primarily on collagen production and can last for more than two weeks following treatment.
- The remodeling phase, which begins two to three weeks after treatment, consists of resynthesis of fresh connective tissue and the conversion of type III collagen (weak) to type I collagen (strong), leading to increased strength of the newly regenerating skin barrier. This phase can last a few weeks up to 12 months, with collagen production continuing throughout, working toward re-establishing durability and elasticity in the skin. Supporting the remodeling phase requires a strategic shift from immediate, protective healing of the disrupted skin to active support of collagen maturation.
Careful attention must be paid to skin’s post-treatment recovery care from both a safety (preventing infection) and efficacy (producing desired aesthetic outcomes), and generally includes strategies to optimize moisture balance, and protect the redeveloping skin barrier.
A variety of topical creams, ointments, serums, and gels have been developed with the aim to supply the skin with important factors that stimulate skin cell regeneration, thereby enhancing the healing process. However, many of these topical technologies lack critical review of their safety and efficacy, as valid clinical studies have not been conducted.
Our newest formulation, Regenesis, is a clinically proven cream designed specifically for the post-procedure recovery window. Regenesis incorporates a multi-level approach to skin rejuvenation — combining peptides, pro-B vitamins, amino support and advanced skin-communicating technology while reinforcing structural proteins. This intensive cream helps promote the recovery lifecycle and the regeneration of healthier, more resilient new skin cells.
Rather than approaching change superficially, the formula supports the skin’s innate intelligence — optimizing its renewing capabilities, multi-dimensionally and sustainably. The formula’s core technology, the Regenesis Recovery Matrix, works across five simultaneous mechanisms:
- Cellular Signaling Activation: Bioavailable peptides support communication pathways involved in repair sequencing and structural rebuilding.
- Barrier Lipid Reconstruction: Physiological lipids to replenish depleted intercellular supplies and restore cohesion of collagen.
- Microbiome Rebalancing: Postbiotic works to normalize skin reactivity and supports adaptive resilience.
- Visible Inflammation Reduction: Synergistic vitamins, mineral and botanicals help reduce visible reactivity with compromised skin.
- Metabolic Recovery Support: Detoxifying anti-oxidant therapy to support enzymatic turnover during recovery.
At the root of these mechanisms, Kat Burki Skincare’s proprietary Bioavailable Delivery Matrix™ (BDM) ensures active ingredients are delivered in a form the skin can recognize and utilize.
The Regenesis Recovery Matrix mechanisms are not singular, stand-alone processes; they work synergistically together throughout the post-procedure healing process, providing comprehensive support to fully optimize your skin’s innate repair and renewal abilities, instead of simply protecting it during recovery. Recovery determines the future of skin, and given the ever-increasingly wide range of aesthetic procedures, Regenesis clearly bridges the post-procedure integrated skin care gap.
