Cosmetic treatment in Zurich

Cos­me­tic tre­at­ment in a der­ma­to­lo­gy cli­nic dif­fers from a beau­ty salon in one fun­da­men­tal respect: the skin is asses­sed by a spe­cia­list first. We know whe­ther a ble­mish is in fact acne, whe­ther red­ness is rosacea, and whe­ther a pig­ment spot is harm­less or needs moni­to­ring. That deter­mi­nes which acti­ve ingre­di­ents and inten­si­ties make sen­se – and which would do the skin harm.

What makes cosmetics medical

We work with hig­her con­cen­tra­ti­ons of acti­ve ingre­di­ents, with device-based pro­ce­du­res, and with pro­to­cols matched to a skin dia­gno­sis. More inten­si­ve tre­at­ments are the­r­e­fo­re pre­ce­ded by a skin ana­ly­sis and, whe­re nee­ded, a medi­cal assess­ment. The second dif­fe­rence is the short distance: if some­thing con­spi­cuous appears during a tre­at­ment, der­ma­to­lo­gi­cal assess­ment is available in the same buil­ding – no sepa­ra­te appoint­ment elsewhere.

Which skin concerns we treat

• Ble­mis­hed skin and acne: deep cle­an­sing, anti-inflamm­a­to­ry ingre­di­ents and peels, if requi­red along­side medi­cal acne the­ra­py.
• Dull, tired skin: a clas­sic facial, Jet­Peel, Oxy­Ge­neo and cos­me­tic ultra­sound for hydra­ti­on and circulation.
• Pig­men­ta­ti­on: pig­men­ta­ti­on dis­or­ders and Cys­pe­ra for stub­born are­as such as melasma.
• Tex­tu­re and fine lines: fruit acid peels, TCA peels, micro­der­ma­bra­si­on and medi­cal micro­need­ling.
• Tre­at­ment cour­ses: vit­amin C cour­ses, Reno­pha­se and Iraye as res­to­ra­ti­ve programmes.
• Hands and feet: medi­cal foot care and pedi­cu­res.

Courses change the skin, single sessions maintain it

A sin­gle appoint­ment does the skin good and shows imme­dia­te­ly – but las­ting chan­ge to tex­tu­re, pig­men­ta­ti­on or acne comes from repe­ti­ti­on. We the­r­e­fo­re usual­ly plan peels and device-based tre­at­ments as a cour­se of four to six ses­si­ons two to four weeks apart, fol­lo­wed by main­ten­an­ce appoint­ments every six to eight weeks. We tell you in advan­ce what a sin­gle ses­si­on can achie­ve and what genui­ne­ly requi­res a course.

Home care decides the outcome

Around eigh­ty per cent of the result depends on what hap­pens bet­ween appoint­ments. Every tre­at­ment the­r­e­fo­re comes with a spe­ci­fic recom­men­da­ti­on for your rou­ti­ne: cle­an­sing, one acti­ve ingre­di­ent for the evening, sun pro­tec­tion for the day. After peels and during pig­men­ta­ti­on tre­at­ment in par­ti­cu­lar, dai­ly sun pro­tec­tion is not a sug­ges­ti­on but a con­di­ti­on – wit­hout it, pig­men­ta­ti­on returns.

How a treatment runs

After cle­an­sing we assess the skin under a magni­fy­ing lamp and set the inten­si­ty for that day – it can vary from appoint­ment to appoint­ment depen­ding on the sea­son, medi­ca­ti­on and skin con­di­ti­on. Acti­ve ingre­di­ents, extra­c­tion or the device-based part fol­low, finis­hing with soot­hing care and sun pro­tec­tion. Depen­ding on the tre­at­ment, allow 45 to 90 minu­tes. Appoint­ments can be made through online boo­king; pri­ces are lis­ted under pri­cing and vou­ch­ers.
