Procedure Recovery Kits
Your procedure was an investment. What you put on your skin before and after determines how well that investment pays off. The right recovery support helps reduce the appearance of redness, maintain an even skin tone, and get you back to your life faster. Each kit was designed for a specific stage of the recovery journey.

Choose the Right Kit for Your Procedure
Every procedure kit is exclusive to the PRO Exclusive line. There are no retail equivalents for any procedure kit. Each kit features enhanced concentrations of Age-Repair Defensins® peptides not available in our retail formulation. In the Fabi/Taub 2023 peer-reviewed clinical study, this enhanced concentration was shown to support visible improvement in both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. Available only through your provider's office.
Pre & Post-Procedure Kit
The complete protocol. Start 2 weeks before your procedure to optimize your skin condition going in. After the procedure, apply the 5+ Defensin Recovery Serum twice daily to support recovery during the critical first week: calming redness, supporting your skin's even tone, and reinforcing the barrier. Once the 5+ is finished, transition to the 8-in-1 BioSerum and 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream for continued recovery support. Full-size products mean you have everything you need from start to finish.
Best for
Aggressive procedures like ablative lasers, CO2, plastic surgery, or any treatment where your provider recommends both pre-prep and extended recovery support. Also ideal for patients with deeper skin tones or anyone whose provider wants to proactively support even tone through the recovery process.

5+ Post-Procedure Kit
Apply the 5+ Defensin Recovery Serum twice daily to support recovery during the critical first week after treatment. The 5+ calms redness, supports your skin's even tone, and reinforces the barrier while your skin is at its most vulnerable. The 5+ lasts approximately one week; once finished, transition to the 8-in-1 BioSerum and 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream for approximately two more weeks of continued recovery support.
Best for
Moderate-to-aggressive procedures. A complete post-procedure recovery kit ready to take home with you after treatment.
What's inside
Microneedling Peptide System
Microneedling creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin. What you apply immediately after determines how well the skin recovers and whether your tone stays even. The 5+ Defensin Recovery Serum supports the critical recovery window, helping to calm redness, maintain an even skin tone, and reinforce the barrier while micro-channels close. The 1-Step Multi-Cleanse is included for gentle twice-daily cleansing throughout recovery.
Best for
Microneedling and microchanneling procedures. Microneedling is one of the most popular treatments in aesthetics and one of the most common procedures associated with post-procedure tone concerns. This compact kit addresses recovery right from the treatment chair.
What's inside
Pre-Procedure Kit
The skin you start with determines the results you end with. Beginning the DefenAge regimen 2 weeks before treatment optimizes your skin's condition, strengthens the barrier, and supports a healthier baseline going into the procedure. Patients who prepare their skin before a procedure typically recover faster and maintain a more even skin tone through recovery.
Best for
Anyone getting a procedure. Start at the consultation visit, 2 weeks before the scheduled treatment. Optimizes skin condition so it responds better and recovers faster.
What's inside
Post-Procedure Kit
The core DefenAge PRO regimen for post-procedure recovery after lighter treatments. The 8-in-1 BioSerum and 24/7 Barrier Balance Cream work together to hydrate recovering skin, support an even skin tone, and reinforce the barrier. Ideal for treatments that don't require the concentrated 5+ Recovery Serum, or as a continuation kit for weeks 2-3 after the 5+ Post-Procedure Kit is finished.
Best for
Lighter treatments like chemical peels, HydraFacial, dermaplaning, neurotoxins, and fillers. Also a great continuation kit for weeks 2-3 after using the 5+ Post-Procedure Kit.
What's inside
The 5+ Defensin Recovery Serum is the only post-procedure serum with patented Age-Repair Defensins® peptides. It's included in the 5+ Post-Procedure Kit, the Microneedling Peptide System, and the Pre & Post Full-Size Kit.
Learn more about the 5+ Defensin Recovery Serum →“Our body produces less of our own defensins as we become older. Applying additional defensin-molecules will help complement the body’s own response and boost the results of aesthetic treatments, including fractional and ablative lasers, and RF- or ‘cold’ microneedling.”
