Barry has put together what we think will be an ideal pre-treatment homecare regimen for RF + laser resurfacing.
RF + Laser by Dr. Krystal Briglia, Triada Aesthetic + Wellness Clinic
Barry, L+A Co-Founder, is preparing to undergo RF treatment using the IGNITE platform from INMODE, featuring the all-new QUANTUM handpiece, along with a CO2 laser treatment from L+A Medical Contributor, Dr. Krystal Briglia, Triada Aesthetic + Wellness Clinic. To get his skin in top shape before these aggressive procedures, he’s following a 4-step at-home skincare routine.
When preparing for a combination of radiofrequency (RF) and CO2 laser treatments, the skincare game plan is just as crucial as the procedure itself. While an acne-focused skincare line might not seem like the obvious choice for pre-procedure prep, Face Reality’s commitment to skin health and microbiome balance makes it an ideal option.

March 2025 L+A Report
5 Must Have Modalities In Modern Medical Aesthetics
Aesthetic device technology in the medical + spa skincare industry is evolving rapidly, with cutting-edge technologies transforming how professionals approach skin and body treatments. From LED light therapy and microneedling to microcurrent, laser treatments, and infrared saunas, these advanced modalities are now essential in aesthetic practices.
Why Face Reality for Pre-Treatment?
The goal of pre-procedure skincare is to fortify the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and ensure optimal healing post-treatment. Face Reality isn’t just about clearing acne—it’s about nurturing skin health, creating the perfect foundation for RF and laser procedures.
Just look at the product names – balance, remedy, and protection are built right in! Each formula is designed to support the skin’s microbiome and reinforce its natural defenses, ensuring a smoother recovery and better overall treatment outcomes.
Barry’s 4-Step Face Reality Prep Routine
1. Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser
Gentle Cleansing Without Compromise
Before any treatment, cleansing is key—but it shouldn’t strip the skin. This non-drying, creamy cleanser effectively removes impurities while keeping the skin barrier intact, ensuring the skin stays calm and hydrated before an aggressive resurfacing treatment.
2. hydraRemedy™ Gel Serum
Hydration + Recovery Boost
Laser and RF treatments demand a well-hydrated, fortified skin barrier. This soothing gel serum is packed with antioxidants and humectants that promote skin resilience, reducing the risk of irritation and dryness post-procedure.
3. HydraBalance
Strengthening the Skin’s Natural Defenses
Designed to restore balance and reinforce the microbiome, HydraBalance ensures the skin’s natural ecosystem is thriving before it undergoes RF and CO2 laser treatments. This lightweight yet ultra-nourishing formula helps the skin maintain its hydration and protective barrier.
4. Mineral Matte SPF 28
Post-Treatment Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable
RF and laser treatments leave the skin more susceptible to UV damage, so a high-quality mineral SPF is essential. Face Reality’s Mineral Matte SPF 28 offers broad-spectrum protection while keeping the skin calm and free from pore-clogging ingredients.
The Takeaway: Face Reality = Laser-Ready Skin
Prepping for RF and CO2 laser treatments with Dr. Briglia, Triada Aesthetic + Wellness Clinic, isn’t just about using any skincare—it’s about using the right skincare. Face Reality’s focus on barrier support, microbiome health, and hydration makes it a powerhouse choice for pre-procedure prep. Barry’s on this journey with INMODE’s IGNITE platform, the QUANTUM handpiece, and Dr. Briglia’s expert hands, all while ensuring his skin is in the best condition possible with Face Reality.
