From skin rejuvenating treatments like microneedling to more invasive facial injections like fillers that stimulate or replace collagen, all skin transforming treatments that use needles can cause unwanted, temporary side effects. But how you care for your skin during this time determines the speed and quality of your recovery.
From simple Botox® injections to deeper dermal fillers, recovery time can vary, but most patients in our medspas report downtime anywhere from 1 day to two weeks. We all love a good excuse to stay home and veg for a night, but who has time for 2 weeks of downtime? In fact, the inconvenience of downtime is the #1 reason people put off getting injections, and it’s the very reason we developed Viktor Michael in the first place.
As medspa owners, we know that proper preparation and consistent post-injection care using calming, soothing and skin-restoring ingredients is the key to rapid recovery. Our conscious, clinical-grade skincare is formulated with our Injection Care Complex®, a proprietary blend of enzymes, acids and phytoactives that are proven to reduce the appearance of injection site irritation and imperfections while cutting downtime in half.
Our blend features:
- Arnica Montana, in active concentrations up to 15%, Arnica has been shown to help reduce the appearance of bruising and swelling.
- Bromelain is a potent enzyme from pineapple known to reduce irritation.
- Dragon’s Blood, a deep red resin from the sap of the Croton Lechleri tree, promotes healthy, radiant skin.
- Babassu Oil, high in lauric and myristic acids, nourishes while moisturizing the skin.
- A Proprietary Soothing Blend of essential oils is infused into each product to promote relaxation and calm.
But we don’t stop there. Soothing butters, calming clays and replenishing natural actives support cellular renewal, promote natural collagen and elastin synthesis, and restore the skin barrier for a rapid renewal of radiance.
