Sensitive skin

Skin that may respond more strongly to cosmetics, touch, temperature or environmental change.

Describe sensitivity in concrete terms

It helps to know what usually causes burning, redness or discomfort and how long the response lasts.

It is most useful to understand “Sensitive skin” in the context of wellbeing, safety and the purpose of the visit. The term alone does not decide which technique to use or what response to expect.

A gentler plan is still a complete plan

Fewer products and lighter touch do not mean poorer treatment.

Significant or persistent problems belong with a dermatologist.

Sensitivity may change from day to day

Weather, stress, skincare and recent procedures can affect current tolerance.

A brief conversation before every visit matters more than assuming the previous plan will always be suitable.
