Collection: Recovery Optimization Protocol by Dr. Piazza

Your result is decided in recovery, not in the treatment room. This is what Dr. Piazza's team uses to support that window — on the surface and from the inside — and roughly when each part matters.

From the inside — circulation, immune load, inflammation

Recovery is metabolically expensive. N1O1 nitric oxide supports circulation, which is what delivers everything else to healing tissue. Stamets 7 supports immune function through a period of heavy repair. VitaMedica Arnica Montana is the standard for bruising.

Start these before a planned procedure where you can. They work better as preparation than as a rescue.

On the surface — calm first, actives much later

Freshly treated skin wants barrier support and nothing clever. Revision CMT Post Procedure Cream and Pavise ECM Restore are the early-phase choices; carboxy therapy masks cool and calm once your provider clears you for them.

The sequencing mistake people make is reaching for actives too early because the skin looks ready before it is. If you have had a resurfacing laser, follow The Laser Recovery Protocol instead — it is day-by-day and specific.

Maintenance — once you are healed

This is where the Exoceuticals eXo³ range lives: not as post-procedure first aid, but as the between-visits layer. How we think about exosomes →

And sun protection, which is the single highest-return habit in the whole recovery window. New tissue pigments easily, and months of remodelling can be undone by a few unprotected weeks.

Surgery rather than a treatment?

Scar care runs on a different clock and has its own sequence. See Dr. Piazza's Surgical Recovery Protocol.
