Skin ageing
Dull or sallow skin
A grey, tired-looking complexion without radiance.
What is it?
Dull skin looks grey and tired, even when you have slept well. Light is reflected less nicely and the complexion is less even.
Usually it is due to the top layer of the skin. Dead skin cells stay there, the skin is dry, or there are small pigment spots and redness. This is easy to improve, often with a single treatment.
Why does skin become dull?
Over the years the skin renews itself more slowly, so dead cells stay on the surface longer. Dry skin, for example in winter due to cold and central heating, also looks duller. Sun, smoking, stress and too little sleep play a part. And small pigment spots and redness make the complexion look uneven.
What we do about it
An Instant Glow Facial with deep cleansing and connective tissue massage gives you fresher skin straight away. Adding a peel makes the top layer shed faster. LED supports recovery. If there are also spots or redness, the Ultra Clear Treatment with IPL evens out the complexion.
What can you do yourself?
Exfoliate gently once or twice a week, use a cream that suits your skin every day and apply sunscreen every morning. In winter the skin often needs a richer cream. Also read dry skin in winter and exfoliating: which method suits your skin?
How we approach it
Every treatment plan starts with a free 30-minute intake. Your skin therapist examines your skin and discusses what you would like to achieve. We then draw up a treatment plan together. Sometimes one treatment is enough, sometimes we combine two. You also receive advice on caring for your skin at home.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly will I see a difference?
After a facial or a light peel you see it straight away. With regular treatments the skin also feels firmer over time.
Is there any recovery time?
After an Instant Glow Facial or LED, none. After a light peel the skin hardly peels. After the Ultra Clear Treatment recovery is none to limited.
How often should I come?
That is up to you: regularly, as a course, or just before a special occasion. During the intake we give advice that suits your skin.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes. We often combine a facial or LED with other treatments, such as microneedling. On the skin therapist's advice we can also put together a tailored treatment.
Is the treatment covered by insurance?
No. Facials and peels for fresher skin are cosmetic and are not covered.
How much does it cost?
An Instant Glow Facial starts at € 79, or € 130 with a peel and LED. The Ultra Clear Treatment costs € 225. LED as an add-on costs € 30. All prices are on the prices page.
