Onze Aanpak

Intake

Voor het aanpakken van verouderingszorgen is een eerste consult noodzakelijk. Tijdens deze sessie zullen we informeren naar je medische geschiedenis, medicijngebruik en allergieën, aangezien deze factoren van invloed kunnen zijn op de veiligheid en effectiviteit van de behandeling. We bepalen welke behandelingen geschikt zijn voor jouw huidtype en specifieke verouderingsgerelateerde problemen. Tijdens het consult kun je vrijuit eventuele vragen of zorgen bespreken. Onze aanpak gaat verder dan alleen zichtbare tekenen aanpakken; we verkennen ook strategieën om nieuwe verouderingsgerelateerde zorgen te voorkomen.

Productadvies

Huidverzorgingsproducten zijn essentieel voor het beheersen en verminderen van tekenen van veroudering. Sommige producten kunnen irritatie verergeren, terwijl andere bijdragen aan het minimaliseren van verouderingseffecten. We bieden gepersonaliseerde productaanbevelingen die zijn afgestemd op jouw huidtype en verouderingszorgen.

Het gebruik van de juiste producten thuis, in combinatie met behandelingen en het begrijpen van je triggers, helpt bij het verminderen van tekenen van veroudering en bevordert de algehele gezondheid van de huid. Blijf regelmatig in contact met je huidspecialist voor productadvies en aanpassingen aan je huidverzorgingsroutine.

Behandelingsplan

Onze diensten richten zich op verschillende verouderingszorgen, met als doel het verminderen van tekenen, het vervagen van markeringen en het verbeteren van de algehele huidkwaliteit. Een gepersonaliseerd behandelplan wordt opgesteld, waarbij effectieve technieken worden toegepast:

1. Dieptereiniging: We beginnen met een grondige reiniging om ontstekingen en onzuiverheden te verwijderen, waardoor verdere verouderingsgerelateerde problemen worden voorkomen.

2. Peeling: Verschillende peelings worden gebruikt om de buitenste huidlaag te verwijderen, waardoor nieuwe celproductie wordt gestimuleerd voor een verbeterde textuur en kleur.

3. Microneedling: We richten ons op verouderingstekenen door microscopische huidpuncties te creëren, wat de productie van collageen en elastine stimuleert voor een verbeterde huidtextuur.

Onze huidspecialisten helpen je bij het kiezen van de juiste behandeling. Indien nodig kunnen verouderingsbehandelingen worden gecombineerd met aanvullende aanbevelingen van je arts.

Nabehandeling

Soms kunnen tekenen van veroudering tijdelijk meer opvallen na een behandeling, bekend als een "overgangsperiode". Dit kan gebeuren als gevolg van bijwerkingen zoals gevoeligheid van de huid, droogheid of roodheid. Het is essentieel om niet aan de huid te krabben.

Volg de instructies van je huidspecialist nauwkeurig op en bespreek eventuele bijwerkingen. We kunnen wijzigingen voorstellen om bijwerkingen te verlichten en je huid te helpen herstellen.

Resultaten van verouderingsbehandelingen duren even voordat ze zichtbaar zijn. In eerste instantie stabiliseren we de huidige tekenen van veroudering voordat we ons richten op specifieke gebieden en omgaan met eventuele bestaande tekenen. Na elke behandeling controleren we de voortgang en passen het behandelplan indien nodig aan.

FAQ

What are the different types of acne?

In acne, there are different levels: comedones (white and blackheads), papules (red bumps), and nodules (bumps) and pustules (pimples). It's important to get the right diagnosis of the type of acne to get the most effective treatment. We can assist in figuring out the specific kind of acne and create a suitable treatment plan.
How does acne develop?

Acne is caused by a mix of things, including clogged oil glands, inflammation, and bacteria. This mix can lead to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Our skin has oil glands that make oil to keep our skin smooth and hydrated. But when these oil glands get blocked, the oil can't escape, and this can result in the development of acne.\ In addition, hormonal changes, like during puberty or pregnancy, can increase oil production and make acne worse. Other factors that can affect acne include genetics, stress, or using certain medications. Bacteria, such as Propionibacterium acnes, can also play a role in causing acne by multiplying in the blocked oil glands. For this reason, it's important to combine a healthy skincare routine with treatments to keep acne under control."
What are the causes of acne?

Acne happens in the oil glands when the skin pores get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can allow bacteria, like Propionibacterium acnes, to grow and cause infection in the oil glands. The oil glands are in the deeper layers of the skin and produce oil, also called sebum, to protect and hydrate the skin. When the oil glands become too active, it can lead to an increase in oil production and clogging of the pores. This pore blockage can happen at any time, but acne usually starts in adolescence when the skin undergoes various changes due to hormones. Below are the main causes of acne: Hormones: Changes in hormones, like during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, can lead to an increase in sebum production, causing acne. Genetics: Acne is a condition inherited from family, and genetics play a role in developing it. Pore blockage: Natural oils produced by the skin can clog pores and lead to bacterial growth, causing acne. Inflammation: When bacteria enter blocked pores, it can cause inflammation, worsening acne. Diet: A diet high in sugar, dairy, and refined carbohydrates can contribute to acne. Stress: Stress can lead to hormonal changes and weaken the immune system, worsening acne."
Does my health insurance cover acne treatments?

Acne facial treatments may be covered by supplementary health insurance. Some health insurers may have additional requirements, such as requiring a referral. Check with your health insurance provider to see to what extent your supplementary insurance covers the treatment costs.
Do products help with acne?

A good skincare routine helps reduce or prevent acne. Here are some tips on product use and acne: Cleansing: It's important to clean your skin daily with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser. This helps remove excess oil, dead skin cells, and other impurities. Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells, helping to prevent pore blockages. Hydration: Applying a moisturizer or serum is important to keep your skin hydrated. To keep your skin in good condition, drink at least 2 liters of water per day. Protection: Sun's UV rays can dry and irritate the skin, increasing oil production and bacteria growth, which can worsen acne. Choosing a product with high SPF and broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection is important. Some SPFs may contain ingredients that irritate the skin, like chemical filters or alcohol. It's essential to choose products suitable for sensitive skin and aimed at treating acne. Products: Avoid using cosmetics, skincare, or makeup that clogs pores, typically those that are oily or comedogenic. Our skin specialists can provide personal product advice on what might be suitable for your skin. It's important to remember that a skincare routine alone may not always be enough to treat acne. Treatments help additionally to get acne under control, moving towards beautiful skin.
What can microneedling do for you?

Microneedling is a helpful treatment for many skin issues. Here's how it can help: Fine lines and wrinkles: Microneedling makes skin firmer and smoother by boosting collagen and elastin, reducing wrinkles. Acne scars: It can improve acne scars by making new skin and collagen, reducing their appearance. Enlarged pores: Microneedling tightens skin by boosting collagen around pores, making them smaller. Dark spots: It helps even out skin tone by renewing skin cells, reducing spots like age spots and sunspots. Stretch marks: Microneedling reduces stretch marks by making new skin and collagen, making them less visible. Skin looseness: It helps tighten loose skin by boosting collagen and elastin.
How many treatments are needed to see results and how often should they be done?

The number of microneedling treatments needed to see visible results varies depending on the skin condition and the individual goals of the patient. Generally, multiple treatments are required to achieve optimal results. For mild skin issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and light hyperpigmentation, 3 to 5 treatments may be sufficient. For more severe skin problems such as deep acne scars, stretch marks, or significant hyperpigmentation, at least 6 to 8 treatments or more are needed. Microneedling treatments are typically performed at intervals of 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the depth, to allow the skin enough time to heal and to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It's important to follow the practitioner's recommendations and not schedule treatments too close together, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation or damage. After the initial series of treatments, maintenance treatments may be necessary, usually every 6 to 12 months, to preserve the results. The exact frequency of maintenance treatments depends on the individual skin condition and desired outcomes. Keep in mind that the results of microneedling become gradually visible as the skin renews itself and produces more collagen and elastin. Improvements in skin texture and the appearance of scars or other skin issues may become noticeable several weeks to months after the treatment.
Are there risks when doing microneedling?

Infection: Though rare, there's a small risk of bacterial or viral infections due to the tiny injuries caused by microneedling. Scarring: In rare cases, microneedling may lead to the formation of new scars, especially in individuals prone to keloid or hypertrophic scars. Hyperpigmentation: There's a small risk of developing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after microneedling, particularly in people with darker skin tones. Unsatisfactory results: Some individuals may be disappointed with the outcomes of microneedling, especially if they have unrealistic expectations or if the treatment isn't suitable for their specific skin concern. To minimize risks and achieve optimal results, it's important to choose a clinic experienced in microneedling.
What are the costs of microneedling and is it covered by my health insurance?

The cost of a single microneedling session ranges from €100 to €200, but this can vary depending on the method and area treated. Packages with multiple sessions are offered at a reduced rate since several treatments are usually needed to achieve optimal results. As for coverage by health insurance, this can vary depending on your specific insurance and policy terms. Microneedling is often considered a cosmetic or aesthetic treatment and is typically not covered by basic insurance plans. However, some supplemental insurance policies may offer partial or full coverage for microneedling, especially if the treatment is performed for medical reasons, such as reducing acne scars. It's important to contact your health insurance provider to check if microneedling is covered in your specific situation and to understand the applicable terms for coverage.
When not to do microneedling?

1. Active acne: People with active acne should avoid microneedling because it can worsen inflammation and spread infection. 2. Skin infections: Microneedling should not be done on skin with open wounds, bacterial, or viral infections, like herpes or impetigo. 3. Rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis: People with these inflammatory skin conditions should be cautious with microneedling as it can worsen inflammation. 4. Keloid or hypertrophic scars: Those prone to developing abnormal scars should avoid microneedling as it may cause more scar tissue. 5. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Microneedling should be avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding because hormonal changes can affect skin sensitivity. 6. Blood thinners or certain medications: People using blood thinners or certain medications, like isotretinoin (an acne medication), should avoid microneedling due to an increased risk of bleeding or other complications. 7. Recent laser treatments or chemical peels: It's important to wait enough time between microneedling and other aggressive skin treatments to minimize the risk of irritation or skin damage.
