Skin Treatment

Skin treatments can deliver excellent results, but they can temporarily stress the skin barrier, leading to irritation, dryness or sensitivity. This makes careful aftercare essential. ALHYDRAN Barrier Repair Care provides deep hydration, supports the skin barrier and helps calm the skin. It allows the skin to recover more smoothly, reduces discomfort and improves overall healing.

What Is a Skin Treatment?

Skin treatments such as chemical peels, plasma therapy, and laser procedures are commonly used to improve appearance, address pigmentation, reduce wrinkles, remove vascular issues or tattoos, or support hair reduction. These are generally non-invasive procedures designed to improve the appearance and condition of the skin.

Because such treatments exfoliate or damage the upper layers of skin — sometimes deeper skin layers too — your skin can temporarily become more delicate or sensitive.

Possible Effects After Treatment

After a skin treatment, it’s common to experience temporary side effects as the skin heals. These may include:

  • Redness or pinkness
  • Flaking, peeling or scabbing
  • Slight swelling
  • A sensation similar to sunburn
  • Dryness or tightness
  • Itchy or irritated skin

That’s why proper aftercare is so important — to help the skin heal, to reduce discomfort, and to support healthy recovery.

Recommended Use After Skin Treatment

  • Apply ALHYDRAN Barrier Repair Care once your skin barrier is intact (for example when scabs or stitches are no longer present, if applicable)
  • Use a thin layer and massage gently into clean, dry skin
  • You can apply it one to three times per day, depending on your skin’s needs
  • Protect treated skin from UV exposure by avoiding direct sunlight or using a broad-spectrum sunscreen such as ALHYDRAN SPF 30, which helps prevent pigmentation or other UV-related issues

After I started recommending ALHYDRAN to patients, I noticed a quicker recovery period for damaged skin and a better result in terms of healing. In the case of electrical epilation in particular, ALHYDRAN greatly improves the recovery of damaged skin.

We advise ALHYDRAN for aftercare in the treatment of scars and burns. The ALHYDRAN variant with UV protection is good for scars that need to be protected from the sun. We also recommend ALHYDRAN for abrasions, naturally not to be applied to open wounds. Patients are highly satisfied. We do not hesitate to recommend it!
