Stretch marks are marks that can appear on the skin of the body when the skin grows rapidly. The best known example is that of a woman's stomach during pregnancy. However, they can also develop on breasts or thighs if they grow faster than the skin can keep up with. The connective tissue is torn subcutaneously by excessive tension, which is not painful, but does lead to purple-red marks that turn into white scars after a few years.
Rosacea is characterized by a bright red discolored skin, especially in the area around the nose and cheeks. Bursted blood vessels are visible, but often also red bumps and pimples. Most patients who have rosacea think they 'just' suffer from acne. This is mainly due to the presence of the pimples in the affected area. However, rosacea has nothing to do with acne and is a chronic skin condition.
A skin condition in which there is too much or too little pigment in the skin. There are different types of pigmentation spots. The most common types are age spots, a pregnancy mask (melasma) and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which develops after skin damage. A lack of pigment can be caused by damage to the skin or by skin conditions such as vitiligo.
We speak of excess hair when too much and too thick hairs grow in places where normally no or only thin hairs grow. There are two forms of excessive hair: hypertrichosis and hirsutism. They usually occur individually, but can also occur in combination.
Age spots are benign pigmented skin lesions where elderly suffer from. Skin areas that have been exposed to the sun, especially the face and hands, develop round or oval-shaped light to dark brown colored spots. The spots can be a few millimeters to a few centimeters in size.
As someone gets older, a lot changes in the skin. The upper skin layers become thinner and the number of blood vessels and sebaceous glands decreases in the skin layer below. This creates more space between the different skin layers. The amounts of collagen and elastin (the fibers that provide the firmness of the skin) also decrease, causing the subcutaneous connective tissue to lose its firmness. In addition, the skull shrinks with age, causing the skin around it to become looser. All of this makes the skin look and feel slacker and less resilient.
Endermology (LPG) is THE treatment for sagging skin of the body. A treatment with endermology is a virtually painless treatment method that treats both the skin and subcutaneous tissue and the subcutaneous connective tissue. Endermology improves the structure of the connective tissue, stimulates blood flow and the removal of waste.
The development of acne is based on increased sebum production with a faster cornification of the skin. This allows bacteria to multiply and cause inflammation. The main symptoms of acne are inflammation, pimples and blackheads. Acne often occurs on the face, shoulders and/or back. You can go to the practice for advice and treatment for all forms of acne.
Various factors can play a role in the development and course of acne. This determines the type of acne. The course of treatment is therefore different for each person. In the treatment of acne, the emphasis is on cleaning the skin. The frequency of treatment can vary from 2 to 6 weeks. The skin is cleared of blackheads and inflammation. Additional therapies such as peeling can also be used to reduce inflammation and scarring.
Treating acne scars and camouflaging the skin can also be part of acne therapy.
With an additional health insurance, acne treatments are often reimbursed by the health insurer.

A deep cleansing can be part of an acne treatment. All blackheads and any inflammation are removed. Sometimes the treatment only consists of a deep cleansing. If necessary, we then apply other therapies, such as laser therapy, microneedling therapy or peels.
Peelings
The acids in the peeling ensure that cell renewal is stimulated. The combination of glycolic acid, lactic acid and/or salicic acid reduces inflammation and blockages. In our practice we work with high-quality peels from Dermaquest and Skintech, including TCA, Jessner and various combination peels. Read more.
Laser therapy
Laser treatment can also be an addition to your acne treatment. The red and blue light of the laser has a bactericidal effect and soothes the skin against redness. Read more.
Skinpen (medical microneedling)
Acne scars can also be treated with medical microneedling. Read more.

Acne is a condition of the sebaceous glands and can affect both men and women at different ages. The condition mainly affects the face, but can also appear on the back, chest, neck or shoulders. Acne can be recognized by oily skin, blackheads, small white bumps, red pimples, pimples and / or inflammation.
When acne has become very inflamed, it can leave disfiguring scars after healing. Acne scars are often more serious when the acne is treated too late or not properly. The scars can occur on the face, back and chest. In most cases it is treatable.
A scar is a permanent visible abnormality of the skin that arises after deep damage to the skin. Some scars can restrict movement, itch and/or hurt after healing. Sometimes they are only cosmetically disturbing. They can be visible as thin skin lesions or thickened on top of the skin.
Couperose is characterized by the presence of many burst blood vessels. The red or blue colored vessels are usually located on cheeks, nose and chin and sometimes also in the neck or décolleté. They are harmless but can be disfiguring and are more common in women than in men. They can cause a tingling, burning or itching sensation.
These are small brown to black molds that mainly occur in dark skin (both Asian and black race). The most common place is the face (particularly temples and forehead). They can be of various shapes and sizes and sometimes cause cosmetic concerns.
Skin bumps (Milia) look like small, white granules in or under the skin. It contains hardened sebum (skin sebum). It is a blockage of the sebaceous or sweat glands. Often the skin bumps are on the cheekbone or around the eyes.
