Here at The Laser Treatment Clinic, we believe that knowing the intricacies of your skin can be the first step towards a glowing, healthier complexion. Keep reading for more information about the different kinds of skin types.

The different kinds of skin types

Knowing your skin type is essential. When you understand what kind of skin you have, you can avoid products or treatments that may irritate or even harm your skin. Below are the different kinds of skin types explained.

Skin types are generally categorised into four basic types: normal, dry, oily, and combination. Each has its unique qualities and challenges:

• Normal skin: This skin type strikes a balance between oiliness and dryness. It’s not too sensitive, making it ideal for most products and treatments.

• Dry skin: Characterised by a lack of moisture, dry skin can feel tight and rough and may appear dull. This skin type benefits most from products and treatments that are nourishing and hydrating.

• Oily skin: This skin type is marked by excessive sebum production, leading to an oily appearance and predisposition to acne. Oily skin needs to be balanced, but without stripping it of its natural oils as this can irritate the skin.

• Combination skin: A mix of oily and dry, combination skin usually means an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and drier cheeks. It requires a flexible skincare approach.

Additionally, knowing whether your skin is sensitive is crucial, as this affects how cautiously you should introduce new products and treatments into your routine.

Laser treatment and skin type

The importance of knowing your skin type is crucial when it comes to advanced skin care treatments we provide at The Laser Treatment Clinic. Our laser treatments can address a myriad of concerns, from hyperpigmentation and acne scars to ageing and hair removal. Suitable for all skin types and tones, we specialise in providing effective laser treatment for those with black, asian and arab skin tones.

Something we encourage post laser treatment is using high quality skin care products. This is because after laser treatment for hyperpigmentation, your skin will be more sensitive and fragile than usual, which is why aftercare is incredibly important as your skin needs time to heal.

In this blog post we will be discussing the importance of using quality skincare products after laser treatment, and why this is essential.

Proper healing and recovery

High quality skincare products are often formulated with ingredients that promote skin healing and recovery. Ingredients such as collagen can help the skin recover quickly, which is important after laser treatment. After laser treatment for hyperpigmentation for example, your skin will need to repair itself, and quality skincare products can help with this process. Our Zaheda Skincare line contains active marine and plant ingredients that help nourish and repair the skin. Take a look at our range here.

Minimise irritation

Laser treatment can often leave your skin feeling sensitive and prone to irritation. High quality skin care products often contain natural and gentle ingredients that can help take care of your skin until the sensitivity wears off. It’s important to not use any skin care products that contain harsh chemicals and irritants, as this can disrupt skin healing and cause discomfort.

Hydrate and moisturise 

Laser treatment can cause disruption to your skin barrier, leading to a loss in moisture. Quality skincare products that have hydrating properties can help restore the lost moisture and keep your skin feeling and looking healthy and hydrated.

Moisturising is crucial for your skin’s hydration. After laser treatment, it’s advised that you use a gentle moisturiser on the affected areas.

Promote long-term skin health

The aim of laser treatment is to stimulate collagen production, improving texture and elasticity. High quality skin care products with collagen-boosting ingredients can contribute to these effects and help promote long-term skin health.

In summary, using quality skincare products after hyperpigmentation laser treatment is important for healing, reducing irritation, keeping the skin hydrated, and for optimising the long-term results of the procedure. Contact our team of professionals for more information about our different kinds of laser treatments.

Follow instructions 

Immediately after your treatment it’s important that you avoid direct sunlight and religiously follow the instructions set out for you by your laser treatment provider. Here at The Laser Treatment Clinic, we will always provide you with careful instructions on how to take care of your skin post treatment. It’s important that you follow this advice to ensure your skin heals as best as it can.

It’s also important to note that different kinds of laser treatments may require different care, so always adhere to the instructions given to you.

Apply ice packs

Using ice packs when recommended by your provider is a great way to minimise swelling and provide physical comfort from your treatment. When using ice packs, be sure to wrap them in a thin cloth to avoid direct contact with your skin.

Adapt your skincare routine

After laser treatment of any kind you should follow a gentle skincare routine that isn’t harsh on your skin. You should ensure that you keep the treatment area clean and use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser when cleansing the treatment area. Avoid any cleansers that may irritate your skin. You should also ensure that you gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel, as rubbing or scrubbing the treatment area can cause irritation.

Moisturising is an essential part of your post treatment skincare routine. In order to keep your skin hydrated and moist, you should opt for moisturiser that is designed for post-laser care.

Avoid direct sunlight

As mentioned earlier, you should avoid sun exposure after having laser treatment. When going outside you should wear clothing that covers your treatment area. If you received laser treatment on your face then you should opt for a wide brimmed hat and wear SPF 50 to protect your skin from UV rays.

Avoid makeup

Avoid wearing skin foundation makeup to the treatment area until you are advised that it’s safe to do so.

When you resume wearing skin foundation makeup, ensure that your make-up brushes and sponges are clean to avoid any infections. 

If you’re interested in laser treatment to address any skin concerns you may have, do not hesitate to contact our team of skin care professionals today.

The importance of a good skincare routine is not to be overlooked! Below are the steps you should follow to ensure your skin stays clean, hydrated, and protected.

Start with a gentle cleanser

Cleansing is a crucial step to any skincare routine. The purpose of cleansing is to remove any dirt, oil, makeup, and other buildup on the skin. You can even double cleanse to ensure all debris is removed and your skin is squeaky clean and ready for the next step. Cleansing also prevents acne by preventing clogged pores. The Deep Sea Cleanse by Zaheda Skincare is a great choice of gentle cleanser, as it eliminates impurities whilst protecting your skin’s natural barrier, most importantly.

Follow with a toner 

The second step to the ideal skincare routine is to tone. A gentle toner helps to balance your skin’s pH levels, and removes any impurities left behind from cleansing. This helps prep your skin for further steps, and also helps to tighten and form your skin as well.

Exfoliation (2-3 times a week)

This next step is a high quality exfoliation, which is something you should consider doing 2-3 times a week. Exfoliating everyday can irritate your skin, as it can be too harsh. Exfoliating with cheap scrubs can irritate and in some cases damage the skin and therefore it is essential to choose a high-quality super-smooth exfoliator such as the Ultra Smooth Sea Polish.

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and unclogs your pores, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and revitalised. Exfoliation helps to reveal brighter and fresher skin, effectively improving texture as well. This also helps with the absorption of serums and moisturisers, optimising their efficiency. 

Serums and treatments

Using a serum or specialised treatment to address a specific skin issue is important in achieving your desired skin. Whether you’re treating acne, hyperpigmentation  or other various skin issues, it’s important to apply your treatment as instructed on the product. 

These products contain active ingredients that target your specific skin concern. Applying this before moisturiser tends to work better as opposed to after, as it gives the product a chance to soak into your skin first.

Moisturiser

Moisturiser hydrates the skin, creates a protective barrier, and seals in hydration and moisture. Moisturising prevents dryness and helps keep your skin smooth and soft. 

Sunscreen (in the morning)

Sunscreen is a crucial part of all skincare routines. Sunscreen as the final step of your routine helps to protect your skin from UV rays, reducing your risk of skin cancer and helping prevent premature ageing. Sunscreen is to be applied in any weather conditions. 

Remember to always do what’s best for you and your skin. If you’re unsure on where to begin when it comes to taking care of your skin, consult a dermatologist or skin care professional for tailored help.

The post What is Derma White Treatment? appeared first on Laser Treatment Clinic.

There is a wide range of skin treatments available to remove damaged skin or hyperpigmentation, but these treatments can often lead to increased damage and more problems. Especially when it comes to darker skin tones. Dermaplaning and chemical peels are often offered as alternatives, these can come with risks of further damage to the skin. The Derma White Treatment is a non-invasive, natural and herbal based remedy for blemishes and hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones. It’s a perfect solution to achieve a clearer, brighter complexion without the risk of damage to sensitive skin.

All-natural & herbal products.

Delicate skin requires delicate care, which is why harsh chemicals and deep skin treatments are not always the best option for darker skin tones. Deep chemical peels can be just as damaging as intrusive skin treatment when it comes to darker complexions. So it’s important to take it slow, steady and gentle to provide lasting and non-damaging results on the skin. The products we use in Derma White Treatment are all-natural, ensuring that we treat your skin, no matter how sensitive, with care and delicacy, whilst ensuring results.

Derma White Treatment for darker skin tones & specific concerns.

Not all skin is the same, and every single person suffers from a variety of problems, with different degrees of severity. When it comes to skin, one size does not fit all. It’s vital to treat each client on a case by case basis. Our consultants are trained to work on darker complexions and design a tailor-made skin treatment plan. We want to ensure the optimum results for your specific skin worries. Derma White Treatment is an extremely popular choice for those suffering from Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) and Melasma. Which are common skin concerns for those with darker skin tones.
