Skin Treatments
Bringing the texture back
Skin does not change in a single session. How often you treat it matters more to the result than which treatment you choose.
Our principle
The rhythm, not a single session, makes the result
Skin is built up a little each day and damaged a little each day. So rather than one intense session, it is usually better to treat steadily, at an intensity your skin can tolerate.
We don’t recommend a lot at once. Deciding together what comes next and when you’ll return also costs you less.

The doctor sets the laser intensity and the interval personally. Both are decided afresh each time, according to your skin’s condition.
About the doctor →Scope
Five concerns
We sort by concern, not by device name.
The same device is used differently depending on the purpose.
Wrinkles
Rather than removing every wrinkle, we keep your expressions and soften the overall impression.
Pores
This takes the longest of all. Pores do not disappear completely; making them less visible is the goal.
Dryness
There are periods when treatment should pause. In that case, doing nothing is the prescription.
Tone
We reduce blotchiness and create a clear, even skin tone.
Acne marks and scars
We settle active acne first, then address the marks. Reverse that order and the marks multiply.
Process
We plan
across a year
Not what to do today,
but what to do this year and in what order.
Assessing the skin
We look at your current products and daily habits too. The cause often lies elsewhere.
Setting the order
If you have several concerns, we don’t treat them all at once. We decide what to resolve first.
Starting at low intensity
The first session is for seeing how you react. We raise the intensity once we know.
Recording and comparing
We photograph under the same light and angle and compare together. More accurate than memory.
After treatment
What to watch for afterwards
It varies by device and intensity.
Below are averages for the intensities we commonly use.
Right after — 2 hours
Redness · warmth
It usually settles the same day. Best to skip makeup that day.
Days 2 — 3
Needle marks
They fade within about 2–3 days.
About 1 week
Bruising
It varies between people, but it all clears within about a week.
Months 3 — 6
A visible difference
Usually after 4–6 sessions. After one or two, there is no visible difference, even in photographs.
Beyond that
Maintenance
Stop, and it gradually returns. Sun protection matters more than the treatment itself.
Risks and limits
What to know
beforehand
We write this as large as the good news.
Nothing here is in small print.
Not done in one session
Most require 4–6 sessions or more. Calculate your total cost on that basis.
Bruising
It is best to avoid treatment during your period. Consider stopping supplements such as omega-3, ginkgo extract, red ginseng, garlic extract, high-dose vitamin E, and turmeric/curcumin about a week before treatment. Do not stop prescribed medication such as aspirin, warfarin or clopidogrel on your own.
Limits with pores and scars
They cannot be removed completely. Making them less visible is as far as it goes.
Burns · blisters
Rare, but possible. That is why we start the first session at a lower intensity.
More vulnerable to sun
Your skin is sensitive to UV for several weeks after treatment. If you can’t protect it in that period, better to postpone.
Pricing
Flawless work, fairly priced
For skin treatments, the cost of the full course matters more than a single session. So alongside the per-session price we also list how many sessions are usually needed.
We don’t recommend a package up front. It is not too late to decide after you have seen how you respond to the first session.
Non-covered fees are posted under Article 45 of the Medical Service Act.
Consultation
Start with whatever is on your mind
You can decide later.
It is fine to come today just to talk.
