The skin changes

Unfortunately, with increasing age and other harmful lifestyle influences, changes occur in our skin. The epidermis experiences increasing damage to both the "wear cells" and the "pigment cells", which causes dryness, fine wrinkles and pigment spots. The dermis loses fullness, firmness and elasticity due to loss of connective tissue as well as dryness due to loss of moisture-binding substances. Excessive and sagging skin develops. Damage to blood vessels can cause a lack of glow and also visible superficial blood vessels. In the subcutaneous layer, we lose fat which causes the large wrinkles and pits, especially on the face.

The reason these changes occur is not just age itself, but especially exposure to the sun and tobacco smoking. Other factors that come into play are pollution, weather and wind, as well as various lifestyle factors such as stress and other things you have done and experienced throughout your life.

Good skin health is important

Having beautiful and healthy skin is important for many reasons. It is particularly important to prevent potentially dangerous cell damage, but it is also important in terms of appearance. The skin is your outward face and says a lot about the health of the body. Good skin quality therefore signals to the outside world that you are healthy and that you take care of yourself and have a potentially great influence on others, be it friends, family, partner or in a professional context.

Skin treatments help!

There are a number of things you can do to achieve or maintain good skin quality. It can range from the simplest things like using a moisturizer to the most advanced treatments. Often the best solution is to take several measures at once and we can divide them into two main groups: prevention and treatment .

Prevention means protecting the skin from harmful influences such as sun and tobacco smoke, as well as living a healthy and stress-free life. These are some simple measures that you can talk to our therapists about for more tips.

There are a wide range of active treatments that will help you achieve healthier and more beautiful skin. For convenience, we can divide them into 7 different groups, click on the individual links for more information:

1. Cosmetic medical creams will treat the top two layers of the skin and will make a wide range of positive changes. Examples of this are general skin quality, pigment spots, skin thickness, elasticity and fine wrinkles. Creams are often used as an important supplement to other treatments, but can also be used alone. CLICK HERE for more information about this.
2. Physical removal of damaged epidermis with chemical peeling or laser/light . Removal of worn, damaged epidermis with, for example, chemical peelings provides a much faster skin rejuvenation effect than using creams alone. In addition, it will also treat many types of pigment spots. CLICK HERE for more information about this.
3. Wrinkle removal by reducing facial expressions . A very important reason for wrinkles in the entire upper half of the face is the constant muscle activity we have here. The naturally occurring substance botulinum toxin has over the years become a simple and very popular means of doing something about this. CLICK HERE for more information about this.
4. Needle treatments. In recent years, it has been proven that by piercing or "damaging" thin strips into the skin while there is undamaged skin around it, the dermis is stimulated to form more healthy connective tissue and thus provide thicker, healthier and "younger" skin. There are also a number of possible treatments here and we have chosen to use the dermapen for several reasons that you can read more about by clicking on the link on our page (coming soon)
5. Fillers . Lack of fullness under the skin is one of the most important aging changes that occur in the face and restoring lack of fullness in the skin or subcutaneous tissue with a physical filler can be both very effective and useful. There are two methods that can be used, both with their own advantages and disadvantages; either using the transfer of your own fat or with so-called hyaluronic acid fillers. CLICK HERE for more information about the transfer of your own fat (coming soon) or HERE for hyaluronic acid fillers.
6. Physical removal of excess skin with surgery. Very often there will be a physical excess of skin and the only really effective way to do something about this is to do a surgical procedure. Such procedures can be anything from very small to something more extensive. The most relevant in the face are: 1. upper eyelid surgery , 2. lower eyelid surgery , 3. facelift , 4. forehead lift and 5. lip lift . Click on the word for more information about the procedures.
7. Other things. Here you can enter all possible lifestyle changes such as caution with sun, smoking cessation, exercise, diet, mental well-being and so on. Our therapists can help you with good advice here! Another treatment used against visible blood vessels on the legs can also be mentioned, namely SCLEROTHERAPY which we can also offer with us.
