What is PhytoCalm

PhytoCalm™ is a clinically developed plant-tech protocol designed to calm post-laser inflammation, reduce redness, and relieve sensitivity in skin disrupted by skincare reactions or environmental stressors. Using bioactive botanicals and non-invasive technologies, it strengthens the skin barrier, restores deep hydration, and brings lasting comfort to fragile or reactive skin.

How It Works

PhytoCalm™ is a non-invasive, skin-calming treatment designed for reactive skin and post-laser care. It supports natural recovery with no pain, no downtime, and visible comfort from the first session.
icon
Dermal Purification
Begins with our in-house developed ultrasonic tech that lifts dead cells, residue, and impurities. This readies the skin for deeper absorption of barrier-repairing actives without further agitation.
icon
Transdermal Infusion
Our in-house researched ultrasound-assisted infusion method boosts uptake of barrier-restorative actives by up to 400%, enhancing delivery without pain, risk, or trigger to sensitive skins.
icon
Inflammation Control
Clinically optimised light therapy reduces redness by up to 70% and supports vascular repair with patented wavelengths. It modulates inflammation and speeds recovery in sensitive or post-procedural skin.
icon
Repair & Recovery
A customised anti-inflammatory botanical mask delivers skin-identical hydrators and lipid-reinforcing actives to relieve discomfort, restore hydration by up to 85%, and strengthen barrier resilience by up to 92%.
icon
Resilient Continuity*
A tailored skincare regimen maintains hydration, reduces reactivity, and desensitises skin over time, helping prevent recurrence with up to 90 percent fewer flare-ups over three months.
*
Supportive skincare sold separately.
icon
Progressive Strengthening
Each session fortifies skin tolerance, restores clarity, and improves comfort without steroids, occlusives or medication. Over 95% report long-term calm, resilience, and freedom from relapse.

Who Is It For

When your skin finds calm, confidence follows.
+
Adults with barrier-compromised or redness-prone skin
+
Teens experiencing sensitivity from acne treatments or over-exfoliation
+
Pregnant women seeking safe, steroid-free relief for flare-ups
+
Individuals reacting to drugstore, cosmetic, or over-the-counter product sensitivity, aesthetic procedures, or environmental triggers
+
Anyone looking for a non-medicated, long-term solution to calm, hydrate and rebuild skin resilience

How Is It Different

When skin is understood, it learns to stay calm on its own.
Mainstream Methods PhytoCalm™ Approach
Risk of rebound or thinning Friendlier for long-term, even post-laser care
Over-reliance on steroids and symptom suppression Supports natural skin regulation and recovery for sustainability
Temporary soothing Long-term barrier restoration
Minimal focus on long-term skin resilience Promotes desensitisation and barrier strength over time
Steroids or antihistamine creams Anti-inflammatory botanicals
Occlusive, heavy moisturisers Bioavailable hydration without residue
