How to Make Your Facial Treatments Last Longer

Facials are one of the fastest ways to refresh dull, tired skin. Whether you’ve just had a HydraFacial, chemical peel, dermaplaning, or microdermabrasion, that post-treatment glow feels amazing. But how do you keep those results from fading so quickly?

At Sanctuary Medical in Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale, our specialists focus not only on your treatment — but also on helping your skin stay radiant between sessions. Here’s how to make your facial results last longer and protect your investment in your skin.

 

What Should You Avoid After a Facial?

Even the best treatments can lose impact if you don’t give your skin time to recover. Immediately after a facial, your skin is more sensitive and prone to irritation. Here’s what to avoid:

• Touching or picking at your face – This can transfer bacteria and trigger breakouts or irritation
  
• Heavy makeup – Give your skin time to breathe for at least 24 hours
  
• Sweating or intense exercise – Post-treatment heat and sweat can cause inflammation and reduce benefits
  
• Exfoliating products or actives – Skip anything harsh unless your Sanctuary Medical specialist approves it
  
• Sun exposure – Your skin may be more vulnerable, so avoid tanning and wear SPF every day
  
  

How Can You Maintain Facial Results at Home?

What you do at home is just as important as what happens in the treatment room. To protect your results:

• Follow the home care plan recommended by your Sanctuary Medical specialist
  
• Keep your skincare routine simple and gentle
  
• Use cool water to cleanse
  
• Avoid over-cleansing or using strong actives too soon
  
• Stay consistent with sleep, hydration, and daily SPF
  
  

Which Skincare Products Help Your Results Last?

Medical-grade skincare can make a significant difference in maintaining results and improving skin tone and texture over time. Sanctuary Medical offers professional-grade products designed to nourish and protect your skin, including:

• ZO Skin Health – For barrier repair and brightening
  
• SkinBetter Science – For hydration, collagen support, and anti-aging
  
• PCA Skin – Ideal for calming inflammation and exfoliation maintenance
  
• iS Clinical – Great for antioxidant protection
  
• EltaMD – Broad-spectrum sunscreen for post-treatment care
  

These products are specifically chosen to support your skin’s recovery and help maintain that just-treated glow.

 

How Often Should You Get Facial Treatments for Long-Lasting Results?

While you’ll see a difference after just one treatment, results last longer when your skin is cared for regularly. Your Sanctuary Medical specialist will recommend the best schedule for you, but here’s a general guide:

• HydraFacial: Every 4–6 weeks
  
• Chemical Peels: Spaced out depending on strength and skin sensitivity
  
• Microdermabrasion/Dermaplaning: Typically every 4 weeks
  
• Combination treatments: May require alternating schedules or a custom plan
  

Consistency matters more than intensity. A regular routine of maintenance facials helps build on your progress — not just reset it.
