At Carolina Cosmetic Surgery, we believe that exceptional results are not achieved in the treatment room alone—they are maintained and enhanced through a thoughtful, medical-grade skincare regimen. ALASTIN Skincare® by Galderma is a cornerstone of our skincare philosophy, offering advanced formulations designed to support skin health, recovery, and long-term rejuvenation.

Powered by proprietary technologies such as TriHex Technology®, ALASTIN products are designed to help support the skin’s natural ability to clear damaged proteins and promote healthy new collagen and elastin—key components of youthful, resilient skin.

We integrate ALASTIN into our practice because it aligns with our approach to luxury, results-driven, and medically guided skincare. These products are frequently recommended before and after procedures to support:

  • Faster, more comfortable recovery
  • Improved skin quality and texture
  • Enhanced long-term aesthetic outcomes
  • Maintenance of surgical and non-surgical results

What Makes ALASTIN Different?

Not all skincare is created equal. ALASTIN is a physician-dispensed skincare line developed with innovative peptide technology to support the skin’s natural ability to renew itself. Rather than simply masking signs of aging, many ALASTIN products are formulated to help optimize the skin’s regenerative processes for healthier-looking skin over time. Their proprietary TriHex Technology® is designed to help clear away damaged collagen and elastin while supporting the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin.

The result is skin that looks smoother, firmer, healthier, and more radiant.

ALASTIN Medical-Grade Skincare: A Complete System for Skin Health, Recovery, and Rejuvenation

One of the reasons aesthetic physicians across the country recommend ALASTIN is its unique focus on both daily skincare and procedure support.

Many products are specifically formulated to help prepare the skin before treatments and support recovery afterward, making them an excellent complement to procedures such as:

  • Laser resurfacing
  • Microneedling
  • Chemical peels
  • Injectable treatments
  • Morpheus8
  • Surgical facial rejuvenation

Healthy skin often responds better to treatment, and maintaining an effective skincare routine afterward can help prolong your results. ALASTIN has developed several products specifically intended for peri-procedural skincare to support these goals.

Below is a complete overview of the ALASTIN system and how each category supports your skin goals.

Cleanse: ALASTIN Gentle Cleanser

A foundational step in any skincare routine, the ALASTIN Gentle Cleanser removes makeup, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin’s natural barrier. Suitable for all skin types, it prepares the skin for optimal absorption of active ingredients while maintaining hydration and balance.

Rejuvenate: ALASTIN Restorative Skin Complex

A daily essential, the Restorative Skin Complex is designed to improve overall skin quality, hydration, and the visible signs of aging. It helps support smoother, firmer-looking skin while enhancing radiance and resilience over time.

Protect & Hydrate: ALASTIN HA Immerse Serum

This deeply hydrating serum delivers advanced moisture support with hyaluronic acid technology. The HA Immerse Serum helps improve the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness while restoring a plump, supple complexion.

Correct: ALASTIN Renewal Retinol (.25 & .5)

Retinol remains one of the most effective ingredients for skin renewal. ALASTIN offers two strengths—0.25 and 0.5—allowing for a customized approach based on skin tolerance and goals. These formulations help refine texture, smooth fine lines, and support overall skin renewal.

Brighten: ALASTIN A-Luminate Brightening Serum™

The A-Luminate Brightening Serum is designed to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and discoloration. It helps promote a more radiant, even complexion and is often incorporated into pigmentation-focused skincare plans.

Antioxidant Defense: ALASTIN C-Radical Defense Serum

Environmental exposure can accelerate visible aging. The C-RADICAL Defense Antioxidant Serum helps defend against oxidative stress while supporting overall skin resilience and long-term skin health.

Restore & Recover: ALASTIN Regenerating Skin Nectar®

Formulated for use before and after aesthetic procedures, Skin Nectar helps support the skin’s recovery process. It is commonly recommended following treatments such as lasers, microneedling, and injectables to help optimize results and comfort.

Post-Procedure Care: ALASTIN INhance™ Post-Injection Serum

Specifically designed for use after injectable treatments, INhance™ supports post-procedure recovery while helping maintain a smooth, refreshed appearance and optimal aesthetic outcomes.

Protect: ALASTIN SilkSHIELD Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30+

Daily sun protection is essential for preserving results and preventing premature aging. SilkSHIELD SPF 30+ provides broad-spectrum mineral protection with a lightweight, elegant finish that wears comfortably under makeup or alone.

Hydrate & Support: ALASTIN Hydratint Pro Mineral Sunscreen SPF 36

The HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36, sunscreen combines daily UV protection with a sheer tint that helps even skin tone. It offers hydration, defense, and cosmetic enhancement in a single step.

Restore & Rebuild: ALASTIN HA Immerse Serum & Restorative Skin Complex

Together, these two products provide comprehensive hydration and structural skin support. They work synergistically to improve elasticity, firmness, and overall skin vitality.

Why Professional Guidance Matters

There is no single skincare routine that works for everyone.

Age, skin type, lifestyle, previous treatments, and cosmetic goals all influence which products will provide the best results. During your consultation, our experienced team evaluates your skin and develops a customized regimen tailored specifically to your needs.

Instead of purchasing products online and hoping they work together, you’ll receive expert guidance on:

  • Which products you truly need
  • The proper order of application
  • Morning versus evening routines
  • How to pair skincare with in-office treatments
  • How to maintain your results long-term
