Texture in balance: the 'BALANCED' treatment
The texture of our skin tells a unique story about who we are. As a living canvas, it grows with us through events such as operations, hormone balance changes or changes in your metabolism. Every scar and every imperfection contributes to our unique appearance. But at Medicadermis we also understand that these signs can sometimes have emotional connotations. That is why we have the 'Even' process, aimed at creating smooth and even skin.
Available treatments for scars
Microneedling
This treatment helps in the fight against scars and skin blemishes. It works by using fine needles that make small punctures in the top layer of the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body to a natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This process improves the skin from within, reducing wrinkles and scars and giving the skin a firmer, smoother texture. Microneedling can be combined with light and laser treatments for the desired result.
Medical Peels
Professional medical peels specifically designed to reduce scars. These treatments, rich in natural acids, remove dead skin cells and stimulate skin regeneration. Medical Peels not only improve the texture and color of scars, but also rejuvenate overall skin texture and tone. For optimal results, it is possible to combine Peels with other treatments such as laser therapy or microneedling, to see faster and more effective improvements.
The Erbium-Glass laser
is a medically recognized treatment specifically aimed at smoothing and smoothing the skin for complex scars and texture problems. This method has proven its effectiveness in in-depth corrections such as reducing stretch marks and smoothing both superficial and deep scars. By influencing the skin's natural repair process, the Erbium-Glass laser stimulates the skin to undergo complex regeneration and remodeling, effectively addressing a variety of skin concerns, including stretch marks, scars, raised areas, and depressions. In addition, this laser treatment can accurately target both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, resulting in thorough restructuring of the tissue. The Erbium Glass Laser can be combined with IPL and peels for the desired result.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL technology is used for a variety of skin problems, including pigmentation, redness. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments are unrivaled for a selection of skin concerns. Particularly in treating pigment spots, vessels, redness and contributes to the overall texture and firmness of the skin. There is also scientific evidence for this. IPL technology offers a non-invasive treatment to improve the skin by, among other things, stimulating collagen production. IPL can be combined with laser treatments for the desired result.
Silicone patches
are commonly used to treat scars and improve skin texture. These patches offer several benefits for the skin. They help reduce the size, thickness and color of scars by forming a protective barrier that maintains hydration and regulates collagen production. By creating a moist environment, silicone patches keep the skin hydrated, which is essential for the healing of scars and helps make them smoother and less noticeable. They also apply gentle pressure to the scar area, which controls collagen formation and contributes to flatter healing. In addition, they protect the scar against external factors such as bacteria and UV radiation, which can delay or complicate healing. Silicone patches are particularly effective for hypertrophic scars and keloids and are often recommended for use after surgery or skin trauma. For best results, it is important to follow the instructions and use the patches consistently.
Scar massage
Scar massage is a treatment technique that can significantly improve the condition of scars. The massage focuses on making the scar tissue more supple and elastic, which improves elasticity and can reduce stiffness in surrounding areas. In addition, this form of massage stimulates blood circulation in the scar area, which promotes the healing process and contributes to a healthier-looking scar. Regular massages can also reduce pain and itching common with scars. The process also helps break down and redistribute collagen formed during the healing process, making the scar less visible. Additionally, massaging a scar can relieve emotional stress that sometimes comes with having a visible scar. The effectiveness of the massage may vary depending on several factors, such as the age and depth of the scar and the original cause.
Available treatments for blemishes
We offer various treatments to remove raised areas such as warts, spots and birthmarks:
- Coagulation : This is a method that uses a mild electrical current to burn away the skin condition without damaging nearby tissue.
- Cryotherapy : This is a treatment that freezes the elevation, after which those skin cells naturally die and fall off the skin.
- TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) : This is a chemical peel for removing superficial skin conditions. The peeling is applied locally and only exfoliates the affected tissue.
Available treatments for large pores
Pore size is an important aspect of skin structure and is determined by genetics, but can also be influenced by external factors. The size of the pores is mainly determined by the amount of sebum production and the elasticity of the skin. As sebum production increases, pores may appear larger because they are more filled with sebum and impurities. In addition, the elasticity of the skin will decrease as we age, causing pores to appear larger.
External factors such as sun exposure, pollution and improper skin care can also affect the size of the pores. For example, sun exposure can lead to an increase in sebum production and thickening of the skin. This can clog and enlarge the pores. With blockage there is a risk of inflammation resulting in scar tissue. Improper skin care, such as using harsh cleansers or not cleansing the skin properly, can also contribute to clogged pores and their enlargement. Maintaining a good skin care routine with the right products and cosmeceuticals can help reduce pore size and improve overall skin structure. This includes regularly cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing the skin, as well as using products that regulate sebum production and improve skin texture. Consulting the skin therapist at Medicadermis can also be helpful for advice on how to reduce the size of your pores and can improve your skin structure.
Treatments for large pores
- Home treatment : cosmeceuticals can help reduce pore size by accelerating cell turnover and reducing sebum production. Ingredients such as salicylic acid and glycolic acid can also help exfoliate the skin and reduce clogged pores.
- Fractional laser treatment : Fractional lasers are designed to treat small areas of the skin with controlled applications of thermal laser columns that can reach the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen production and helps fade scars, fine lines and pores.
- The Q-switched Nd Yag : Q-switches Nd: Yag laser is used to treat large pores using concentrated laser energy. Collagen production is stimulated by the photothermal reaction and skin texture improves through micro-exfoliation that removes sebum, dirt and dead skin cells. The treatment tightens pores and makes them less visible, making the skin look smoother and more even.
- Microneedling : Microneedling is a procedure in which tiny needles create microscopic injuries. This stimulates collagen production and improves overall skin texture. Microneedling can also help reduce pore size by tightening the skin and making pores less visible.
- Medical peels : Medical peels can help improve skin texture and reduce pore size by removing dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production. Peels can be superficial (light peels), medium or deep, depending on the severity of the skin condition and the desired result.
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) : IPL treatments target pigmentation in the skin, such as sunspots and redness, but they can also help reduce the size of pores. IPL emits pulsed light that stimulates the skin to produce collagen and can also reduce sebum production, making pores less visible.
Products: Skin care matters
- Silicone gel : Silicone products are often recommended for reducing scars. They can help hydrate the skin, reduce redness and improve the texture of the scar.
- Vitamin E cream : Vitamin E is known for its moisturizing properties and can help improve skin elasticity. However, there are mixed research results on its effectiveness in reducing scars, so the effect may vary from person to person.
- Scar creams : Active ingredients are sometimes added to scar creams for their moisturizing and soothing properties, which can help promote healthy scar formation.
- Sun protection : Protecting the scar from the sun is also important, as sun exposure can lead to discoloration and thickening of the scar tissue.
