iS Clinical SHEALD Recovery Balm | Intensive Post-Procedure Barrier Repair

When the skin is at its most compromised, it needs something that provides genuine protection rather than just surface comfort. SHEALD Recovery Balm is iS Clinical's most intensive barrier repair product: a moisture-rich formula that dramatically replenishes hydration in dry, sensitised and post-procedure skin while curative botanicals actively soothe and support the skin's recovery.

Clinically proven to provide environmental protection, it is trusted by dermatologists and plastic surgeons as a post-procedure standard of care following ablative and non-ablative laser treatments, surgical procedures and microneedling.

Who is SHEALD Recovery Balm best for?

• Post-procedure recovery following ablative and non-ablative laser, microneedling, chemical peels and surgical incisions
• Extremely dry, chapped or barrier-compromised skin needing intensive repair
• Sensitive and reactive skin during acute flare-ups
• Those on GLP-1 medications experiencing significant barrier disruption and dryness
• Winter skin needing intensive protection against harsh environmental conditions

Key ingredients and why they matter

• Rich barrier-restoring emollient complex: Creates a protective occlusive layer that prevents trans-epidermal water loss while the skin heals underneath, dramatically accelerating comfort and recovery time
• Curative botanical complex: Soothes, calms and supports active healing in compromised skin
• Environmental protection actives: Clinically proven to shield recovering skin from further UV and environmental damage during the vulnerable recovery period

How we use SHEALD Recovery Balm at Face for Soul

As a pharmacist prescriber and aesthetic practitioner, SHEALD Recovery Balm is part of the post-procedure take-home kit I provide to patients undergoing laser, microneedling, radiofrequency and resurfacing treatments. It is one of the most clinically credible post-procedure barriers available and is specifically cleared for use on raw, compromised and surgically treated skin where most standard moisturisers are not appropriate.

For patients not undergoing procedures, it is an excellent intensive repair option during periods of significant skin barrier disruption from over-exfoliation, harsh weather or aggressive treatments.
