What is Skin Treatments?

The skin is the body’s largest organ and is directly affected by age, sun, hormones, stress, diet and sleep. Pigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, dullness, dehydration and fine lines are the most common skin complaints.

Skin treatments are medical aesthetic procedures for these complaints, chosen and planned according to a skin analysis. At our clinic, rather than a single “package”, one or more methods are combined according to your skin’s needs.

How does it work?

Mesotherapy and skin boosters deliver ingredients that support hydration and skin renewal directly into the middle layer of the skin. Salmon DNA (polynucleotides) is known for supporting cell renewal. PRP aims to stimulate the skin’s repair process with growth factors obtained from your own blood.

Fractional laser creates microscopic channels in the skin surface, triggering collagen production and skin renewal; it is preferred especially for acne scars, pores and rough texture. When treatments are supported by correct home care and regular sun protection, results last longer.

When is it used?

  • Dehydration, dullness and tired-looking skin
  • Sun- and age-related pigmentation, uneven skin tone
  • Acne scars and rough skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Fine lines and loss of elasticity
  • Dark circles and thin skin under the eyes

How is it done?

  1. 1Skin analysis: assessment of skin type, pigmentation, scars, pores and hydration.
  2. 2Choosing a treatment or combination of treatments according to your goals.
  3. 3Carrying out the treatments according to the session plan.
  4. 4Follow-up with home care and sun protection advice.
Before
  • Mention the skincare products you use (especially retinoids and acids); you may need to pause them for a few days before some treatments.
  • Do not sunbathe intensely or use a solarium for 2–4 weeks before laser treatment.
  • Always mention a history of cold sores.
During the treatment
  • A skin analysis is carried out and photographs are taken.
  • The skin is cleansed; numbing cream is applied if needed.
  • The planned treatment (mesotherapy, skin booster, PRP or laser) is carried out.
  • Soothing care and sunscreen are applied.
After
  • Avoid make-up and touching the area for the first 24 hours.
  • After laser, 2–3 days of redness and light peeling are normal; use a moisturiser.
  • Use SPF 50 sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days.
  • Follow the session intervals and home care advice.
When will I see results? Improvements in hydration, radiance and vitality are usually noticeable after the first sessions. Structural changes such as pigmentation, acne scars and pores require 3–6 sessions and a few months. Maintenance sessions a few times a year may be recommended to preserve the results.

Possible side effects

  • Temporary redness and swelling in the treated area
  • Small bruises with injectable treatments
  • After laser, temporary redness, peeling and rarely pigmentation (the risk is reduced with sun protection)
  • Very rarely infection or a cold sore flare-up

Who is it not suitable for?

It is not used, or only planned after medical assessment, in the following situations:
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding (for some treatments)
  • Active skin infection or cold sores
  • Recent intense sun exposure (for laser)
  • Tendency to keloid scarring (after medical assessment for laser and injectable treatments)

Frequently asked questions about Skin Treatments

How will I know which treatment suits me?

After a skin analysis, recommendations are made according to your goals and skin type; often several methods are combined.

When will I see results?

Improvements in hydration and radiance may be noticed in the first sessions; structural changes such as pigmentation and scars take several sessions and a few months.

Can skin treatments be done in summer?

Mesotherapy and skin boosters can be done in any season. For treatments such as laser, months when the sun is weaker are preferred.

Are skin treatments suitable for every skin type?

Treatments are chosen according to skin type. Laser settings and timing are planned with particular care for darker skin and skin prone to pigmentation.

Isn’t home care enough?

Correct home care is very important, but most products work on the upper layer of the skin. Medical treatments target the renewal process in the deeper layers.
