But the skin care you use after leaving the treatment room deserves attention too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">On a recent episode of <em class=\"italic\">The Beauty Authority<\/em>, Kat Burki, founder of Kat Burki Skincare, joined us to discuss what she sees as the next frontier in post-procedure skin care. \u201cI truly think the future of skin care is in that realm,\u201d she says. As lasers, microneedling and other treatments become more sophisticated, Burki believes the way we support skin afterward should evolve too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Press \u201cplay\u201d on the video below for our full conversation, and keep scrolling for Burki\u2019s take on recovery, the ingredients she\u2019s focused on and how post-procedure care fits into the skin longevity conversation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-8\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The New Science of Skin Recovery with Kat Burki | The Beauty Authority\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q6cSFyLt2Kk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-happens-to-skin-after-a-treatment\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">What Happens to Skin After a Treatment?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Treatments like microneedling and laser resurfacing are designed to create a controlled response in the skin. Depending on the treatment, that may mean stimulating cellular turnover, collagen production or both.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">\u201cWhat the skin goes through is an immediate inflammation, which is fine. You need that,\u201d Burki says. \u201cIt\u2019s your body signaling something to change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The more interesting part, she says, is what comes next. \u201cYou\u2019ve stimulated the skin to turn over, and then a lot of times you leave it high and dry. What happens next with these new cells?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Burki describes the next phase as a kind of \u201ccommunication mode,\u201d when different processes involved in recovery begin working together. That window is where she believes skin care has an opportunity to do more.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-recovery-is-getting-more-attention\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">Why Recovery Is Getting More Attention<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Post-procedure care has traditionally focused on protecting freshly treated skin and avoiding anything that could interfere with healing. Those basics still matter. As we\u2019ve previously reported in our guide to the best post-procedure routine, what you use should always depend on the procedure and your provider\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">But Burki believes the category is moving beyond simply sealing and soothing the skin. \u201cThe messaging part of recovery is super important,\u201d she says. \u201cYou want that to be as healthy and as connected, so your results are what you really want after that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The skin microbiome is a big part of her approach. \u201cThe skin is an organ on the outside with its own immune system, with its own microbiome,\u201d she says. That perspective, she explains, came from her previous work in health care, epidemiology and disease management.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"where-peptides-and-postbiotics-come-in\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">Where Peptides and Postbiotics Come In<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Ingredients already familiar from anti-aging skin care are also finding a place in the recovery conversation. Peptides, for example, are central to Burki\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">\u201cPeptides are not new to the world, but they\u2019re super important,\u201d she says. \u201cThey need a delivery system.\u201d She describes peptides as messengers and sees postbiotics as another way to support the skin\u2019s microbiome during recovery.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/ff3594c6eae3eac2deccc6b5d580b0f178a1f6e2-1000x1000.png?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"Kat Burki  Regenesis\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong class=\"font-semibold\">Kat Burki<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\" style=\"text-align:center\">Regenesis<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\" style=\"text-align:center\">BUY NOW &#8211; $410<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Burki\u2019s Regenesis brings those ideas together in what the brand describes as a recovery-focused formula with peptides, postbiotics, ceramides and B vitamins. As with any post-procedure product, check with your provider before incorporating it into your routine.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-does-this-fit-into-skin-longevity\" class=\"font-canela mb-4 mt-8 text-2xl font-light leading-tight text-black md:text-3xl\">How Does This Fit Into Skin Longevity?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The recovery conversation is also part of the larger skin longevity movement. Rather than looking at an in-office treatment and daily skin care as separate things, Burki sees them as parts of the same long-term strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">\u201cYou\u2019re really looking at giving the skin the ability to rejuvenate,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">For Burki, ingredients such as peptides, postbiotics and growth factors fit into that broader focus on supporting the skin\u2019s own processes over time. She believes skin care still has catching up to do. \u201cOur treatments are getting better and better and more targeted and more understanding of how this actually works. However, the skin-care side of it isn\u2019t there yet,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Watch the full episode of <em class=\"italic\">The Beauty Authority<\/em> above to hear more from Burki about post-procedure recovery, peptides, the microbiome and where she sees skin care going next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We spend a lot of time talking about what happens durin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3401"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
