Application: As directed in your aftercare plan
Best for: Skin requiring a provider-guided recovery routine
When recovery calls for a simpler routine.
The days after a skin treatment are not the time to experiment with every product in your cabinet. Functionalab Post-Treatment 1 is a recovery balm designed for skin that needs protective, soothing care during a planned recovery routine.
It is different from an everyday serum or exfoliating treatment. If we have recommended it after a procedure, we will explain where to apply it, how often to use it and when to move back to your regular skincare. If you are ordering ahead of treatment, tell us which procedure you are having.

How to use Functionalab Post-Treatment 1
- Follow the cleansing instructions supplied for your procedure.
- Apply the balm as directed by your treating provider. Functionalab’s general directions describe twice-daily use early in recovery, then evening use as the normal routine resumes.
- Ask us before restarting retinoids, acids, scrubs or other active products.
Contact your treating provider if discomfort, redness or swelling is worsening, or you are concerned about healing. A skincare balm does not replace a review of unexpected symptoms.
Clinical studies and supplier testing:
Functionalab publishes supplier results and photographs concerning hydration and skin comfort. The public results graphic does not provide enough detail to treat those findings as a complete study report. We use this information as product background; your recovery plan should be based on your procedure and your provider’s assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Click a question to read the answer.
Can I use it after any laser treatment?
Different procedures need different aftercare. Use it after a treatment only when your provider recommends it for that procedure and stage of recovery.
How long should I keep using it?
That depends on your treatment and healing. Follow the plan you were given and check with us before returning to your usual active products.
Is this the same as Pre/Post-Treatment 2?
No. This is a recovery balm. Pre/Post-Treatment 2 is a lipid-replenishing cream. Their roles in a routine are different.
Can I put retinol over the balm?
Do not restart retinol or exfoliating acids on recovering skin without your treating provider’s clearance.
Are you an authorized Functionalab retailer?
Yes. BC Laser & Skincare is an authorized Functionalab retailer. You can shop online or contact our Surrey clinic if you would like help choosing the right product.
