Sensitive Skin/ Impaired Skin Barrier

Skin

Is your face consistently flaky, itchy, red, or prone to acne year-round? You might be dealing with a damaged skin barrier or sensitive skin. Research shows that 30-40% of the population has sensitive skin, often tied to barrier impairment. Any mishandling or improper skincare routines can worsen the situation. Explore how our aesthetic treatments offer relief by soothing sensitivity and rebuilding the skin barrier.

What is sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin is a condition where the skin's protective barrier is compromised, leading to heightened sensitivity to external irritants. This can result in redness, bumps, tingling sensations, and intolerance to regular skincare products.

Causes

1. Aggressive Products:
   Products with hormones, fragrance, or high acid concentrations can cause skin irritation.

2. Overwashing and Exfoliation:
   Excessive washing or aggressive exfoliation damages the sebum barrier, weakening skin protection.

3. Skin Diseases:
   Conditions like rosacea, hormone-dependent dermatitis, or lupus erythematosus threaten the skin barrier.

4. External Stressors:
   Extreme weather, UV exposure, and pollution can damage the barrier, causing facial redness.

Effective Treatments for sensitive skin

1. Hydrafacial

How Hydrafacial Treats Sensitive Skin:

Hydrafacial treatment utilizes an exclusive formula essence and patented VORTEX two-way vacuum technology to exfoliate the skin, quickly open pores, and non-invasively clear out blackheads, whiteheads, debris, and dirt. Simultaneously, the nourishing essence is absorbed, promoting cellular metabolism and restoring the skin's oil-water balance for a cleaner and healthier complexion. In just 30 minutes, the three-step process of cleansing, extraction, and hydration leaves your skin refreshed.

These serums penetrate deeply, providing intense hydration and essential nutrients to the skin.

How Vampire Facial Treats Sensitive Skin:

PRP treatment involves drawing blood, isolating platelets and white blood cells, and injecting the solution into the superficial dermis.

Regular PRP treatments strengthen the skin's defense system, promoting barrier healing for a healthier, more youthful complexion.

  2. Blood Extraction: A small blood sample is taken from your arm, similar to a regular blood test.

  5. Treatment Preparation: The treatment area, usually the face, is cleansed and prepared for the procedure.

  6. PRP Application: The extracted PRP is applied to the skin or injected into the treatment area using a fine needle.
