Facial treatments Carpe Clinic
Whether you’re looking for a rejuvenating anti-aging treatment, a solution for acne or want tattoos removed, Carpe Clinic offers it all. Our facial treatments include fractional laser, hydrafacial, facial creams, etc.
Pores & acne
It is important to realize that there is no universal solution for blemished skin. What works for one person may not be appropriate for another. Some people may benefit from a nurturing approach to the microbiome of their skin, while others find relief in treatments such as the hydrafacial. This special device cleanses pores while infusing peptides, antioxidants and minerals into the skin to provide a rejuvenating boost.
In addition, procedures available include chemical peels that remove dead skin cells and reduce congestion, as well as the fractional laser that not only addresses the activity of sebaceous glands and open pores, but also reduces scarring. Sometimes the best approach is a combination of several treatments. Our experienced team is ready to work with you to determine the approach best suited for your unique skin.
Firming of the skin
There are numerous ways to firm the skin. Looking at the entire face, the fractional laser is extremely effective. This laser makes small holes in the skin, activating its natural repair mechanism and producing more collagen. Another option is the Infini treatment, a type of device with fine needles that also stimulates collagen production. In addition, these needles emit radio frequency, resulting in skin contraction and a fuller, tighter appearance.
For the region under the eyes, you can opt for the Picoplus laser, which subtly tightens the skin, or consider a PlexR treatment. The latter procedure is best described as eyelid surgery without a surgical knife because the excess skin tissue is vaporized rather than cut away.
Pigmentation lighting
All these different types of pigmentation come with a specific treatment method. Age spots, pigmentation from sun damage or due to inflammation or damage to the skin are often superficial and easy to treat with a photofacial. Using IPL (intense pulsed light), the spot is flashed away, as it were. Prefer to start slowly? The carbon peel allows us to work very gently on incipient pigmentation spots.
However, there are other forms of hyperpigmentation that are deeper. After extreme sun exposure or hormonal changes – for example, pregnancy, hence the nickname pregnancy mask – the pigment cell itself may become overactive, this is also called melasma. In this case, a combination of lasers, peels, soothing products and depigmenting creams is often needed.
In short, laser hair removal is suitable for a wide range of body areas and offers long-lasting results for those striving for a hair-free lifestyle.
Lighten/remove scars
There are several approaches to soften and improve scars. Old acne scars often show small pits in the skin, so they can be filled locally. On the other hand, raised scars or scars with red color are better treated using the Infini procedure, the fractional laser, or a combination of both.
The Infini treatment involves an intensive radiofrequency treatment combined with microneedling. The heat generated stimulates the skin’s natural repair process, while the tiny needles promote collagen and elastin production. This allows the skin to repair and renew itself. In contrast, the fractional laser creates tiny wounds in the skin, causing the body to produce its own collagen and replace damaged tissue with new, smooth tissue.
Visible blood vessels
Using advanced equipment and targeted treatments, it is possible to close blood vessels. This is usually done using lasers or a flash lamp, but medical LED light has also proven effective. A particularly effective method is photofacial: in this, the flash lamp specifically targets the red blood cells in the capillaries and closes off the veins. Often one treatment is enough, although in some cases a series of treatments is recommended.
Removing tattoos
Tattoo removal uses the Picoplus laser, which is capable of removing all colors of ink at different depths. This laser leaves no scars and works in two ways.
On the one hand, it pushes the ink to the surface of the skin; on the other, it pulverizes the pigment into very small particles. Some of these particles are expelled from the skin, while the rest are absorbed into the bloodstream and then expelled. After each treatment, the tattoo gradually fades until eventually nothing is visible. In general, four to six treatments are usually required, depending on factors such as the age and depth of the tattoo.
Volume loss
Volume loss can be easily addressed with hyaluronic acid-based fillers . With a simple injection, the doctor places a clear gel that improves facial structure and shape, restores lost volume and accentuates facial contours. This is also suitable for filling in lips, folds and certain wrinkles.
Commonly used is hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies and is therefore considered very safe and well-tolerated. If you don’t want to add extra volume but want to improve skin quality and boost natural collagen, collagen boosters are an option. Through micro-injections, the skin is nourished and hydrated from within for a long time. This results in more elastic, firmer and smoother skin, which is ideal for a fresh look.
Wrinkles
Dry lines respond positively to proper skin care and periodic moisturizing treatments. For expression wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles or crow’s feet, the application of muscle relaxants is an effective solution. Our facial muscles are in constant motion, resulting in lines where these contractions occur. Muscle relaxants do exactly what the name promises: they relax the muscles, reducing the movement and eliminating the wrinkle.
However, there are numerous other options available. A fractional laser makes tiny holes in the skin, allowing wrinkles to contract. This is particularly suitable for fine lines and wrinkles that can still be somewhat reduced. Deeper wrinkles or permanent furrows can be treated with a CO2 laser, which works similar to a type of sandpaper and removes a thin layer of skin to smooth the surface again. In addition, a fractional CO2 laser has recently been developed that combines the best of both approaches.
Injectables
Fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally present in your skin and body. Our fillers offer extra volume in desired locations. They have the capacity to attract moisture, resulting in an increase in volume. Temporary fillers are broken down by the body over time, making it necessary to repeat filler treatments every 9 to 12 months. This guarantees continuous optimal and radiant results.
