yOUR SKIN, SCIENTIFICALLY
TRANSFROMED

At Surgicare Aesthetics, we believe that beautiful results don’t just start in the treatment chair — they begin long before it.

Healthy, balanced, and well-prepared skin responds better to injectables, heals faster, and looks smoother for longer.

That’s why every patient journey in our clinic starts with a tailored skin preparation plan, designed by our doctors to ensure your skin is in its best possible condition before treatment.

Even the most advanced injectable techniques can only do so much if the skin itself isn’t functioning well.

Preparing the skin in the weeks leading up to treatment helps:

• Optimise results – well-conditioned skin allows smoother, more even filler placement and softer toxin diffusion.
• Support faster recovery – strong, hydrated skin heals quickly and is less prone to sensitivity or bruising.
• Extend longevity – healthy skin responds better to treatments, helping your results last longer and look more natural.

Dr Gakhal explains: “Injectables work best on a healthy foundation. When the skin is balanced and functioning properly, it doesn’t just look better after treatment — it continues to improve over time. That’s where preparation makes all the difference.”

To prepare the skin effectively, we often recommend the ZO® Getting Skin Ready™ (GSR™) protocol — a system developed by world-renowned dermatologist Dr Zein Obagi to restore the skin to its healthiest baseline.

This three-step programme is the cornerstone of all ZO® routines and forms the foundation of many of our pre-treatment protocols.

The steps are simple, but powerful:

• Cleanse: removes surface impurities, excess oil, and debris without disrupting the skin barrier.
• Exfoliate: encourages healthy cell turnover, smoothing texture and refining pores.
• Tone: balances pH, tightens pores, and reduces surface oil — creating the ideal environment for injectables.

Healthy skin means beautiful results. Incorporating the GSR™ protocol for 2–4 weeks before your injectable treatment provides measurable benefits:

• Creates the perfect canvas for precise filler and toxin placement.
• Reduces the risk of post-treatment congestion or breakouts.
• Enhances the luminosity and hydration of the skin, improving your glow immediately and long-term.
• Helps maintain results between appointments as part of an ongoing skin health plan.

Dr Gakhal adds: “When patients take the time to prepare their skin properly, the difference is visible — not just in how smoothly the treatment goes, but in how radiant, refined, and balanced their skin looks afterwards.”

Our goal is not just to deliver a single beautiful result, but to help you maintain long-term skin health. We encourage every patient to combine injectables with a doctor-led skincare plan that includes pre-conditioning and post-care. This approach supports the skin’s natural repair cycle and ensures your results age gracefully.

For those seeking consistent, glowing skin all year round, our Surgicare Skin Membership includes regular chemical peels, microneedling, and ongoing medical skincare support — making it effortless to maintain a radiant, youthful complexion at every stage.

We recommend beginning your ZO® Getting Skin Ready™ routine at least 2–4 weeks before your injectable appointment. During your consultation, our medical team will assess your skin and create a personalised pre-treatment protocol tailored to your skin type, goals, and treatment plan.

Healthy skin is the perfect canvas — let’s prepare it together for natural, flawless, and longer-lasting results.
