What is Calm Skin and why is it important?
The Calm Skin treatment is a medical protocol designed for skin recovery after aesthetic procedures such as laser or chemical peels. These treatments, while effective for skin renewal, can temporarily compromise its natural protective barrier. A weakened skin barrier can lead to irritation, redness, and increased sensitivity.
The importance of Calm Skin lies in its ability to accelerate skin regeneration, reduce downtime, and ensure that the results of your initial treatment develop optimally and comfortably. Our medical approach guarantees a safe and effective recovery.
How do laser and peeling affect the skin?
Laser treatments and chemical peels work by removing the superficial layers of the skin or stimulating its renewal at a cellular level. This is fundamental for addressing concerns such as blemishes, fine wrinkles, or uneven texture. However, this controlled exfoliation process exposes younger, more sensitive skin layers. The result is skin that is temporarily more vulnerable to external factors.
Redness, flaking, or a feeling of tightness are expected reactions. Proper recovery is essential to prevent complications such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or prolonged sensitivity. At Santé, our doctors supervise every stage of the process.
Key points for effective recovery
- Medical evaluation: Before any treatment, a doctor evaluates your skin type and the procedure performed to design a recovery plan.
- Intensive hydration: The skin needs deep hydration support to restore its barrier function.
- Soothing ingredients: Specific components are used to reduce inflammation and redness.
- Sun protection: Post-treatment skin is extremely sensitive to the sun, making the use of broad-spectrum sunscreens indispensable.
- Avoid irritants: During the recovery phase, it is crucial to avoid products with fragrances, alcohol, or strong acids.
The Calm Skin protocol at Santé Clínica Estética

Frequently asked questions
How long does recovery take after a laser or peel?
Recovery time varies considerably depending on the intensity of the treatment and the individual characteristics of the skin. A superficial peel may require only a few days, while a deeper ablative laser may need one or two weeks. The Calm Skin protocol is designed to shorten these times and improve comfort during the process.
What results can I expect from the Calm Skin treatment?
You can expect a significant reduction in redness, irritation, and flaking. The skin will feel more hydrated, smoother, and with a restored skin barrier, which will optimize the final results of your initial treatment. Individual results may vary.
Is the Calm Skin treatment suitable for all skin types?
Yes, the Calm Skin treatment is adapted to most skin types. Our doctors personalize the products and techniques used to ensure they are compatible with your skin, even if it is sensitive or prone to specific conditions.
When is the Calm Skin treatment recommended?
It is recommended to start the Calm Skin treatment immediately after your laser or peel session, or as indicated by your doctor. Early intervention is key for optimal recovery and to prevent possible complications.
What care should I follow at home after Calm Skin?
Our doctors will provide you with detailed instructions for home care, which will include recommendations on gentle cleansers, specific moisturizers, and, crucially, high-spectrum sunscreens. Following these instructions is fundamental to maintaining the benefits of the treatment.
