heaLED™ Post-Surgery Care Program
As part of your recovery journey, you’ll also receive our heaLED ™ Post-Surgery Care Program, designed to encourage optimal healing for all our patients. A vital component of your surgical aftercare, this program includes various industry-leading modalities that accelerate wound healing, reduce swelling and discomfort and minimise the appearance of scars.
LED Light Therapy
A core element of our heaLED ™ Post-Surgery Care Program is LED Light Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that:
- Reduces swelling and inflammation
- Helps minimise pain and discomfort
- Accelerates wound healing and tissue regeneration
- Optimises scar formation for neater, more refined scars
LED Therapy typically begins on the day of your hospital discharge, although the timing may vary depending on your procedure.
Rejuran Therapy
Another key component of the heaLED™ Program is Rejuran Therapy. Rejuran contains polynucleotides (PN), bioactive molecules derived from salmon DNA that are clinically proven to stimulate cell regeneration, repair damaged skin and improve elasticity.
When used in surgical aftercare, Rejuran works at the cellular level to:
- Boost fibroblast activity, encouraging the production of healthy collagen and elastin
- Strengthen the skin’s structural integrity around the incision site
- Improve hydration and skin barrier function, making the skin more resilient during healing
- Refine scar texture and pigmentation, leading to smoother, less visible scars over time
By incorporating Rejuran into your post-operative plan, we’re not just aiming for a healed wound; we’re supporting the creation of stronger, healthier and more aesthetically pleasing skin in the surgical area.
Medical-grade Skincare
Your program may also include one or more medical-grade skincare treatments to support healing and repair. Typically, we use Synchro Cream from the renowned Gernetic skincare range. Synchro is a regenerative, nutrient-rich cream formulated to restore skin function, repair deep tissue and optimise scar formation.
It works by:
- Delivering essential amino acids, vitamins, and trace elements directly to skin cells
- Supporting the skin’s natural repair mechanisms for faster recovery
- Reducing redness and irregular pigmentation in healing scars
- Improving the skin’s texture and suppleness, making healed areas softer and smoother
When additional repair or support is required, Cytobi, another Gernetic innovation, may be applied. Cytobi works synergistically with Synchro to further stimulate cellular metabolism, increase dermal density and enhance resilience in fragile post-surgical skin.
If gentle cleansing is necessary, Glyco Cleanser, a mild, pH-balanced Gernetic cleansing milk, can be used to maintain hygiene without disrupting the skin’s healing environment.
Dry Skin Needling with Dermapen 4™
Some patients may also have Dry Skin Needling with Dermapen 4™, a scar optimisation treatment that uses microneedling to improve the appearance, texture and colour of surgical scars. By stimulating collagen and elastin production within the scar tissue, this treatment encourages smoother, flatter and more natural-looking scars over time.
Treatment timing:
Your first session is recommended 3 weeks after your surgery, once your incisions are well-healed.
- Session 1: 3 weeks post-surgery
- Session 2: 4 weeks after your first treatment
- Session 3: 4 weeks after your second treatment
This schedule allows your skin the optimal time to respond between treatments while providing optimal collagen stimulation.
What to Expect During the Procedure:
- The Dermapen 4™ device uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the scar tissue.
- No topical serum is used (‘dry’ technique) so that the focus is purely on mechanical stimulation of the scar.
- The process typically takes only a few minutes per scar and may cause mild tingling, warmth or temporary redness.
