What To Avoid After Salmon DNA Treatments: Essential Aftercare Tips

Just got Clear + Brilliant or RF microneedling with a Rejuran booster? Here’s your glow-up aftercare guide.

You’ve just given your skin a major boost with a Clear + Brilliant or RF microneedling treatment — and topped it off with a Rejuran booster for next-level rejuvenation. Now it’s time to show your skin some post-treatment love.

Proper aftercare is key to getting the most out of your results. Whether you chose Clear + Brilliant or RF microneedling, and added on a topical Rejuran treatment, these easy aftercare steps will help your skin heal, recharge, and reveal that radiant, refreshed glow you’re after.

Here’s what you need to know — simple, stress-free, and totally doable.

What to Avoid After Rejuran Topical Booster

For the First 24 Hours…

Skip the makeup. Your skin needs to breathe, so hold off on foundation, concealer, or powders for at least a day.

Avoid heat and steam. Sorry, no hot yoga, saunas, or sweaty spin classes. Keep it light and cool — think stretching, walking, or just relaxing.

No touching. Avoid touching or picking your skin.

Keep it clean. Keep the area dry and clean. 

Skip swimming. Pools, hot tubs, and oceans are a no-go for now — you don’t want bacteria or irritants getting into healing skin.

For the Next 3 Days…

Stay out of the sun. No tanning beds or direct sunbathing. If you need to go outside, grab your SPF 30+ and stick to the shade.

Keep skin hydrated. Use a gentle moisturizer like Aquaphor to keep skin hydrated. 

No exfoliating. Don’t exfoliate or pick at flaky skin; let it shed naturally. 

For Up to a Week…

Avoid harsh skincare. Put down the retinoids, scrubs, and acids. Stick to gentle cleansers, soothing moisturizers, and barrier-supporting products.

For Up to Two Weeks…

Don’t smoke. Smoking slows healing and blocks oxygen from getting to your skin. Try to avoid it for as long as possible.

Keep up with sun protection. Daily SPF 30+ isn’t just for beach days — it’s your secret weapon to protect your fresh results and keep skin aging at bay.

Why Aftercare Really Matters

Rejuran works by using polynucleotides (derived from salmon DNA — yes, really!) to help your skin repair and renew itself after a Clear + Brilliant or RF microneedling treatment. These powerful building blocks stimulate collagen production and encourage long-term skin rejuvenation.

But here’s the thing: the magic doesn’t stop when you leave the treatment room. Your skin continues healing and rebuilding in the days after your appointment, especially in the first 24 to 72 hours. That’s why following your aftercare routine is key — the more you protect and nurture your skin now, the better your final results will be.

Quick Tips for Smoother Healing

  • Keep your skin clean and moisturized with gentle, soothing products.

  • Use lukewarm (not hot!) water to wash your face.

  • Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first night or two.

  • Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water.

  • Wear SPF every single day to protect and prolong your results along with barrier protection.

The Bottom Line: Take Care, Glow Bright

Rejuran boosters are all about giving you smoother, more youthful skin — but the aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself. By keeping things cool, calm, and gentle, you’ll help your skin heal beautifully and get the most out of your session.

In just a few days, you’ll be back to your regular routine, glowing and refreshed. And if you ever have questions about what’s safe or not post-treatment, the LaserAway team is always here for you.

Your beauty journey is a partnership — and we’re with you every step of the way. Now go enjoy that radiant, rejuvenated skin with confidence!
