What does skin improvement entail?

Nowadays, there are many skin treatments and products on the market. This can sometimes make it difficult to determine what actually effective treatments are for the skin. In this informative blog, we will tell you what skin improvement means and what you can expect. Additionally, important points will be discussed that you should pay attention to when choosing a treatment. After this blog, you will know what the goal of skin improvement is and you can search more specifically for a suitable treatment for your skin.

To begin with, it is important to understand the difference between skincare and skin improvement. Actually, the words already hint at it a bit. You can find various skincare products, among others, in a drugstore or at the pharmacy, think of Eucerin, La Roche Posay, Vichy, Lancôme, and Garnier. These products contain ingredients in a low concentrated dose. The substances of these products mainly remain on the upper skin layer, also known as the epidermis. This creates a caring effect where the skin gets a nice, temporary glow.

In addition to skin care products, there are also skin care treatments, also known as facial treatments. You can undergo this with a beautician. During this treatment, a cleansing usually takes place, any impurities are removed, you receive a massage, and a nourishing mask is applied. These are nice treatments to maintain the skin, but will bring little difference if, for example, your goal is to firm the skin or to remove pigmentation spots.

Skin improvement, on the other hand, goes beyond just skin care. Skin improving products have higher percentages of active ingredients, just like the brand Dermaceutic Laboratoire. The active ingredients have smaller molecules and penetrate into the middle layer of the skin, also known as the dermis. The dermis contains the skin structures and cells that work on the level of skin improvement, such as sebaceous glands, fibroblasts, and hair follicles. When using products with higher active substances, acne is reduced, pigmentation spots and small blood vessels disappear, fine lines and wrinkles are refined, and the overall skin structure is improved.

When you want to use these products, it is best to do so on the advice of your skin therapist. A skin therapist has completed a four-year HBO study and knows everything about the skin, tailoring the products to your skin condition, as every skin is different. This prevents unpleasant skin reactions such as irritation, itching, or dryness. Skin therapists specialize in treating skin, hair, and nails on both diseased and healthy skin, as well as in cosmetic and medical areas. This includes acne, pigmentation problems, scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, unwanted hair growth, and fungal nails.

Lastly, it is important that the treatments are scientifically substantiated. This means that a lot of research has been done on the treatments, proving their effectiveness. This also ensures that work can be done safely in the deeper skin layers. Products and equipment also have a CE mark and FDA approval. This means that products and services comply with the European cohesive guidelines.
