Skincare

To speed up recovery and achieve the best results from your treatment, we recommend using gentle, medical-grade skincare pre and post-laser. A clean, hydrated skin barrier produces a more even result.

Daily SPF is essential. UV rays and blue light contribute to pigmentation issues and accelerate skin aging, protecting the treatment area is non-negotiable.

We now carry Mad Rabbit SPF 30, a tattoo-safe daily sunscreen, and Mad Rabbit Soothing Gel, a petroleum-free cooling gel that calms and hydrates the treated area after each session. Both are available in-studio.

Mad Rabbit Repair Soothing Gel and Defend SPF 30 Sunscreen, available at Studio Kiku
Mad Rabbit Repair Soothing Gel and Defend SPF 30, available in-studio.

We also offer AlumierMD in-studio and online, mineral, medical-grade skincare approved for post-laser use.
