Acne treatment
Cleansing facials and chemical peels can enhance and speed up the treatment process. Facial treatments that cleanse the skin effectively are suitable for non-inflammatory acne skin. Heat, steaming and massage are also suitable and can benefit non-inflammatory acne. In severe, inflamed acne skin, the skin should not be stimulated or squeezed, because it can only worsen the situation or cause various complications, such as the spread of bacteria, hyperpigmentation or skin scarring. Different types of chemical peels, which stimulate cell renewal and exfoliate dead skin cells, benefit both forms of acne. New treatment products and salon treatments are also constantly being developed for the treatment of acne.
Anti age treatments
Salon treatments, especially serial treatments, can effectively treat the signs of aging. The best combination is effective salon treatments, high-quality home care products and a regular skin care routine. Nowadays, there is a wide range of treatments of different degrees for skin aging changes. Good results can be obtained with acid treatments, especially for skin discoloration. Microneedling of the skin activates the skin’s collagen production and evens out the skin’s texture. Effective Dermapen microneedling is a safe and popular treatment method for aging skin.
Treatments for dry skin
In the beauty salons, dry skin can be effectively treated with moisturizing facial treatments. Often, the products that are used by professionals may be more effective, and with their help, the moisture content of the skin can be restored more quickly. With effective peelings and acid treatments performed in the salons, the dry and scaly surface layer of the skin can be peeled off, allowing the skin to receive the moisturizing ingredients better. The cosmetologist can also use various devices, such as ultrasound, HydraFacial or microneedling to make the moisturizing agents better absorbed into the skin, resulting in a more effective moisturizing effect.

Ultrasonic skin cleansing vs. mechanical skin cleansing
What is ultrasonic cleaning?
Ultrasound cleaning is based on the vibration created by ultrasound, which helps to remove sebum from the skin. In addition, ultrasound has a light exfoliating effect on the skin.
Does ultrasonic cleaning hurt?
Ultrasonic cleaning is gentler and more pleasant than mechanical skin cleaning, and does not hurt or feel unpleasant on the skin. If the skin has to be worked on more with ultrasound, the skin may feel a slight pinch.
What kind of skin is ultrasound skin cleansing suitable for?
Ultrasonic cleaning can be done on almost all types of skin. Ultrasonic skin cleansing is especially good when the skin has, for example, open blackheads and small pimples. Ultrasound can also be used to treat skin pores filled with sebum. Ultrasound cannot treat inflamed pimples or acne.
How long do the treatment results of ultrasound skin cleansing last?
With ultrasound, the skin can be lightly freshened and superficially cleaned. Good and longer-lasting results are usually achieved with normal skin or skin with very small impurities. If the skin is very greasy and prone to sebum secretion, the skin typically needs continuous and regular treatment, for example once a month.
What is mechanical skin cleansing?
Mechanical skin cleansing is always combined as part of facial treatment. Mechanical skin cleansing is therefore typically not done alone. Most often, mechanical skin cleansing is done as part of a classic facial treatment, where the skin is first cleaned with a cleanser, exfoliated and possibly massaged and heated, i.e. it is prepared for mechanical skin cleaning and then the cleaning itself is done.
In mechanical cleaning, an instrument intended for skin cleaning is used. In some cases, in addition to the cleaning instrument, a sterile thin needle may be used to remove, for example, miliums. In mechanical cleaning, impurities such as sebum and blackheads are “excavated” or pushed out of the skin with the help of the instrument.
Does mechanical skin cleansing hurt?
Mechanical skin cleansing typically feels a bit unpleasant, but tolerable. Often, for example, the areas around the nose and lips are the most sensitive. Feelings are always individual, and how the treatment feels is influenced by e.g. the skin to be cleaned, what kind of impurities are in the skin, how the skin is prepared for cleaning and the cleaning technique itself.
What kind of skin is mechanical skin cleansing suitable for?
Mechanical skin cleansing can be done on almost all types of skin. We recommend mechanical skin cleansing, especially if the skin has more to clean, or the skin has larger pimples, blackheads or miliums, i.e. white pimples. However, mechanical skin cleaning is not recommended on the surface of enlarged blood vessels (couperosa). Often these areas can be avoided, but if the skin is very couperotic almost everywhere, mechanical skin cleansing is not the best option.
How long do the treatment results of mechanical skin cleansing last?
Various pimples and blackheads can be removed well with mechanical skin cleansing, and a blackhead or pimple once removed does not require maintenance or follow-up care. If the skin has very enlarged skin pores, strong sebum secretion, hormonal imbalance, etc., which causes impurities, in connection with the facial treatment, you should familiarize yourself with the various causes of impurities so that they can be treated in the best possible way. Therefore, if the skin is prone to the formation of impurities for one reason or another, it is necessary to clean the skin regularly at the beauty salon. With the help of a cosmetologist, you can find ways to prevent impurities and home care that balances the condition of the skin.
