"Which treatment should I book?" It's the question we hear most, on WhatsApp, on Instagram and at the desk. A fair question: there are many treatments, and they all sound good. In this article we explain how we make that choice, so you know what to expect.
Why we don't choose from a photo or a price list
Two people with the same question, for example "my skin looks tired", can need a very different plan. One skin is dry and reacts quickly. Another is firm but has a rough texture. What you see on the surface doesn't say enough about what happens underneath. That's why we don't choose a treatment from a distance.
What actually decides the choice
- Your goal: what do you want to change? Firmness, texture, glow, a calmer skin, or keeping what you have?
- Your skin today: how strong is your skin barrier, how sensitive is your skin, is there pigment or inflammation?
- Your calendar: a party, a trip or lots of sun coming up? Some treatments need a few days of rest.
- What you've already done: which treatments and products did you use before, and how did your skin react?
The treatments, in one sentence
- HIFU: works with focused ultrasound at depth, for structure and firmness.
- Radiofrequency: firms with heat and cooling, over several gentle sessions.
- Microneedling: fine needles start your skin's own repair, for texture and fine lines. With us, never deeper than 0.5 mm.
- Hydrafacial: cleanses, hydrates and makes your skin glow.
- LED therapy: light that supports your skin's recovery.
- Dermaplaning: removes dead skin cells and vellus hair, for a smooth start.
The order matters as much as the choice
Skin that is irritated or out of balance reacts badly to an intensive treatment. That's why we work in four steps: first stabilise, then prepare, then correct, and after that maintain. Sometimes that means a few calm sessions first, and only later the treatment you came for. It isn't a detour; it's the reason it works.
And sometimes the answer is: nothing for now
Are you pregnant, taking certain medication, or is your skin too sensitive right now? Then we'll tell you honestly. And if your skin isn't a good candidate for a treatment, you'll hear that from us too. Better an honest "not yet" than a treatment that doesn't help you.
How the Skin Strategy Consult works
In one 60-minute appointment we measure your skin with a skin scanner, discuss your goals and your health, and Joyce writes a personal plan: which treatment, in what order and at what pace. After the consult you get your plan by e-mail, so you can read it calmly at home. The consult costs €50. If you then start a plan, that amount is credited.
