Heal faster. Recover better. Here's the protocol.

Your Post-Procedure Protocol.

If you've ever had a facial treatment — microneedling, a chemical peel, laser, even a professional-grade facial — you know the aftermath. The redness. The tight, sensitive skin. The waiting.

Most people manage it with whatever their provider handed them on the way out, or a gentle moisturizer from the drugstore shelf. It works, eventually. But your skin deserves better than eventually. 

At Blackburn Drug, we think you deserve to heal faster — and we've put together a two-step post-procedure protocol that makes the recovery period work as hard as the treatment itself.

Step one: CALM Serum by Plated Skin Science

We carry CALM at Blackburn Drug because it's built around something most skincare products haven't caught up to yet: exosome technology. Exosomes are nano-sized messengers that carry growth factors and antioxidants directly into skin that's been treated and is mid-repair — signaling cells to renew faster and inflammation to resolve sooner. Clinical data shows a 50% reduction in recovery time. Less redness, less irritation, visibly improved tone and texture by day seven. This is a practitioner-exclusive product — not available on Amazon or at any retail counter — and it's exactly the kind of thing we seek out for our patients.

Step two: Our compounded Hyaluronic Acid + Ceramides XBlend cream

This is where compounding changes everything. An OTC hyaluronic acid serum might contain a fraction of the active ingredient, diluted into a formula designed for mass production and a two-year shelf life. Our cream is compounded fresh at 1% hyaluronic acid — drawing deep, sustained moisture into skin that is dry, tight, and actively rebuilding. Paired with Ceramides XBlend at 1%, it directly replenishes the lipid barrier that cosmetic procedures temporarily disrupt. Ceramides are what hold your skin cells together — when that structure is restored, moisture stays in, irritants stay out, and healing accelerates.
