Facial Treatments in Munich-Bogenhausen

Cleansing, active ingredients and treatment intensity are not combined into a fixed standard programme. The starting point is your skin as it presents on the day of treatment.

What a professional facial treatment can do

A facial can cleanse the skin, remove a build-up of dead skin cells, treat blocked pores, support hydration and prepare the way for a suitable skincare routine. The appropriate steps depend on the skin barrier, sebum production, sensitivity, build-up of dead skin cells and current treatment goal.

The treatment is adapted to your skin type and current skin condition, so it does not follow an identical process for everyone.

Possible treatment steps

  1. A brief discussion about your skin, products, tolerance and current concern.
  2. Assessment of your skin's condition.
  3. Cleansing and suitable preparation.
  4. Depending on the skin: a peel, extractions, an active ingredient treatment or cosmetic microneedling.
  5. A mask, skincare and sun protection suited to the treatment.
  6. Recommendations for a few manageable skincare steps at home.

Extractions for blocked pores and blackheads

After suitable preparation, blackheads and blocked pores can be treated manually. The aim is controlled cleansing, rather than squeezing every visible blemish as aggressively as possible.

Extractions may be unsuitable for inflamed areas, very sensitive skin or certain skin conditions. An overly intensive approach can encourage irritation, inflammation and pigmentation changes.

Professional peels

Peels can remove surface skin cells in a controlled way and may be used for a build-up of dead skin cells, dullness, blemishes or uneven texture. The type of acid, concentration, contact time and preparation determine the intensity.

The strongest peel is not automatically the most suitable. If the skin barrier is compromised or sensitivity is increased, a soothing approach may be more appropriate initially.

Cosmetic microneedling for skin appearance and quality

Cosmetic microneedling stimulates the surface of the skin using fine needles. The focus is on skin appearance and quality.

The depth and intensity of treatment influence its benefits, risks and recovery. Comparing it with Medical Microneedling helps explain the different approaches.

Hydration and skin barrier protection

Dry, dehydrated or reactive skin does not automatically need more active ingredients. The skin barrier is the skin's outer protective layer. If it is compromised, a simplified routine with gentle cleansing, hydration and protection may be more suitable.

The aim is to establish a well-tolerated skincare routine, rather than briefly concealing every visible sign of dryness.

Cosmetic healthy-ageing facial

Skin ageing is a normal biological process. A cosmetic treatment can support hydration, the skin barrier and skin quality, but it cannot reverse age.

If loss of volume, pronounced changes in texture or tissue laxity are the main concerns, other procedures may be more suitable.

A clear routine rather than too many products

Your skincare at home should be well tolerated and practical for everyday use. The consultation takes account of your existing products and the order in which you use them.

A good routine does not automatically require many products or particularly expensive ones. What matters is which steps your skin actually needs and tolerates well.

When a cosmetic treatment is not enough

New, changing, severely inflamed or medically concerning skin changes should not be addressed through cosmetic treatment alone. A dermatological or other medical assessment may be necessary in these situations.

Frequently asked questions

This depends on your skin's condition. For sensitive, severely inflamed or otherwise unsuitable skin, a different approach may be more appropriate.

The interval depends on your skin's condition, the chosen treatment and your skincare at home. A regular monthly appointment is therefore not necessary for every skin type.

The actual depth, intensity and intended application are what matter. Before treatment, we discuss the goal, possible skin reactions and aftercare.

Sun exposure can be relevant to certain peels and other skin treatments. Specific preparation and aftercare are discussed according to the chosen treatment.
