Skin

Skin quality, scars, and localized changes are assessed before choosing a treatment approach.

Overview

A considered, individual plan

A skin-related concern may involve a scar, surface irregularity, or localized lesion. Before aesthetic treatment, it is important to identify situations that require medical investigation or another specialty.

Procedures and assessment

What the category may include

Scar revision

The location, age, quality, and symptoms of a scar affect whether it can be improved surgically or, for example, with laser treatment. A scar cannot be removed completely, but it can be made less noticeable.

Assessment of localized skin changes

Skin changes with age. If you notice a skin change that grows or causes symptoms, you should always show it to a doctor. If the change is worrying or otherwise causes harm, it can be removed. The nature of the change is assessed before possible removal, and the removal method is chosen according to whether samples or a wider removal are needed.

Skin quality and age-related changes

Skin structure changes gradually for many reasons, including sunlight, lifestyle, and other diseases. These changes can be treated with different methods, such as laser treatment, microneedling, or fat transfer. These can also be combined with surgical procedures. Good skincare is important for maintaining results.

Skin is our largest organ, and overall health, hormones, and lifestyle affect it a great deal. The influence of genetics cannot be ruled out; some people have thin, dry skin, while others have thick skin that becomes oily easily. For this reason, the skin and the fat tissue beneath it also age differently in each person, and the procedures to be planned are always individual.
