Laser therapy
In our practice we work with different types of lasers and IPL.
By means of an intake we will discuss which type of laser of IPL we can use. During this intake, your skin therapist will determine whether you are eligible for treatment and provide you with the necessary information. All treatments are performed by our experienced skin therapists who are members of the Dutch Association of Skin Therapists (NVH) and are registered in the Paramedics Quality Register (KP).
We have the most modern equipment to treat various skin problems, such as excessive hair growth, vascular problems, pigment spots, acne, scars and skin aging. Would you like to know more about the treatments? Then look at our treatment offer at the bottom of this page.

Treatments
Acne
There are several factors that influence the development of acne. One of those factors is that the sebum cannot drain properly because the pore in the skin is clogged. The cause of this blockage is an accumulation of old skin cells. The combination treatment of acne peeling or laser treatment is effective for acne. This treatment can be done after the therapist's deep cleansing. Read more
Acne (laser therapy)
Introduction
Er zijn meerdere factoren van invloed op het ontstaan van acne. Eén van die factoren is dat de talg niet goed weg kan omdat de porie in de huid verstopt is. De oorzaak van die verstopping is een opeenstapeling van oude huidcellen. De combinatiebehandeling van een acne-peeling of laserbehandeling is effectief bij acne. Deze behandeling kan worden gedaan na de dieptereiniging van de therapeut.
Treatment
Acne can be effectively treated with blue light. With this form of light therapy even new outbreaks can be prevented. The aim of the treatment with laser therapy is to kill the P-acnes bacteria. This is a bacteria that plays a major role in the development of acne. A additional effect of blue light is that it soothes the skin after treatment. To achieve a good result, several treatments are needed, which sometimes have to be performed weekly.
Result
After the laser treatment, the skin may be red. This can last for several hours and even until the next day. With skin that has not been treated before, the acne may first seem to worsen. This is only the case with the first treatments. It is important to take good care of the skin at home to prevent new blockages as much as possible.
Blood vessels
In our practice we work with the KTP laser and with IPL. The KTP laser emits a highly concentrated beam of light into the blood vessel. The red pigment of the blood (hemoglobin) absorbs this beam of light. The light is converted into heat. This heat destroys the blood vessel wall, so that it visibly disappears. The treatment is based on the absorption of laser light in the pigment of the blood. Read more
Blood vessels (laser therapy)
Introduction
In onze praktijk werken wij met de KTP laser en met IPL. De KTP laser straalt een hoog geconcentreerde lichtbundel in het bloedvaatje. De rode kleurstof van het bloed (hemoglobine) absorbeert deze lichtbundel. Het licht wordt omgezet in warmte. Deze warmte vernietigt de bloedvatwand, zodat deze zichtbaar verdwijnt. De behandeling is gebaseerd op de absorptie van laserlicht in de kleurstof van het bloed. De behandeling is hierdoor het meest geschikt bij een lichte huid. Hoe lichter de huidskleur hoe effectiever de behandeling. Zijn de vaatjes minder zichtbaar maar is er vooral een diffuse roodheid te zien? Dit kunnen wij goed behandelen met behulp van IPL. Soms is tevens een combinatie van deze twee behandelmethodes mogelijk.
Most people who have undergone treatment compare this to a slight stinging sensation, followed by a warm sensation that lasts for several minutes. After the treatment, some redness may occur, which quickly disappears. Within a week, very small scabs will appear on the vessels that have been treated, which will disappear over time.
De laser geeft krachtige lichtimpulsen, waardoor een groot gebied op de huid snel te behandelen is. Een gezichtsbehandeling duurt 5 tot 15 minuten, een behandeling van de benen duurt 15 tot 20 minuten. De adertjes verdwijnen volledig en komen niet terug. Wel kunnen eventueel na verloop van tijd nieuwe adertjes ontstaan. Deze kunnen op dezelfde manier worden verwijderd. Bij geringe gesprongen vaatjes in het gelaat zijn meestal 2 à 3 behandelingen nodig. Bij méér vaatafwijkingen zijn over het algemeen 3 tot 5 behandelingen nodig. De herhalingsbehandelingen vinden gemiddeld om de 4 weken plaats.
Pre- and aftercare
Het laserlicht is volkomen veilig, waardoor speciale voorzorgsmaatregelen overbodig zijn. Tijdens de behandeling draagt men een speciale bril ter bescherming van de ogen. Als uw huid echter bruin wordt door toename van pigment tijdens zonnebaden, is het raadzaam dit voor of tussen de behandelingen door zo veel mogelijk te vermijden. Wij raden u ook aan om twee weken vóór de behandeling en tot vier weken na de behandeling niet in de zon of onder de zonnebank te gaan. Daarnaast is het raadzaam om tijdens deze periode een goede zonbescherming (sunblock) te gebruiken.
Hair removal
Unwanted hair growth in daily life is a big problem for many people. An attempt is made to prevent hair growth by shaving, plucking, waxing or treatment with hormone preparations. With modern laser and light technologies it is now possible to reduce hair growth, without the often painful side effects that traditional hair removal methods entail. Read more
Hair removal (laser therapy)
Introduction
Unwanted hair growth in daily life is a big problem for many people. An attempt is made to prevent hair growth by shaving, plucking, waxing or treatment with hormone preparations. With modern laser and light technologies it is now possible to reduce hair growth, without the often painful side effects that traditional hair removal methods entail.
Treatment
In the treated areas, unwanted hair growth is reduced by up to 95%. Any remaining hairs may be thinner and lighter in color. All body parts such as the face, upper lip, legs, bikini line, arms and back can be treated with laser light. In most cases, a tingling sensation and warmth is noticed during the treatment. After the end of the treatment, a light red rash (erythema) may appear, which disappears quickly.
The hair growth cycle consists of different phases: the growth phase, the regressive phase and the resting phase. For optimal results, your hair should be treated with laser light during the growth phase. The normal duration of a laser treatment is six to eight treatment sessions with an interval of 5 to 6 weeks. To maintain the result, we recommend that you come by once a year to repeat the laser treatment.
Pre- and aftercare
From two weeks before the start of the treatment, tweezing, plucking or other hair removal treatments are not recommended. Furthermore, it is not recommended to sunbathe or to do a tanning bed treatment from four weeks before the treatment. We also recommend avoiding the sun as much as possible for 6 weeks after the treatment.
Excessive facial hair with women is reimbursed from the supplementary insurance. Ask your insurer how much you are entitled to reimburse for skin therapy each year. We have concluded an agreement with every health insurer for the new year.

Pigment
When treating pigmented spots, the light beam penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the pigmented spot. This absorption destroys the cell and pulverizes the pigment. The body then cleans this up on its own. Treatable pigment spots are age spots or pigment spots on, for example, the face, décolleté, hands and arms. Read more

The body then cleans this up on its own. Treatable pigment spots are age spots or pigment spots on, for example, the face, décolleté, hands and arms.
Treatment
In practice we work with the KTP laser and with IPL. During an intake interview, we will discuss which form of treatment is applicable is most suitable for you. Sometimes both methods can be used for an optimal treatment result.
During the treatment, you and the skin therapist will wear glasses to protect your eyes. A cold gel is applied to the skin to be treated. A treatment takes about 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area which is treated. You can generally resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Usually the skin is somewhat red and sensitive after the treatment, similar to the feeling of sunburnt skin. There may also be a slight swelling. This disappears after a few hours to a day. You can apply cold compresses to the treated area if necessary.
The pigment turns dark / gray and feels grainy after treatment. This disappears within a few days to a week. In rare cases, a scab may form locally. Do not scratch the scabs, but let them heal slowly.
De lichtflitsen voelen als een elastiekje dat tegen de huid tikt. De behandeling kan enigszins pijnlijk zijn, afhankelijk van het te behandelen gebied. Maar de meeste patiënten verdragen de behandeling goed. Een verdoving is niet nodig.
Over het algemeen zijn twee tot drie behandelingen nodig om het gewenste resultaat te bereiken. Soms zijn één of twee behandelingen al voldoende. Tussen de behandelingen zit steeds drie of vier weken.
Pre- and aftercare
Probeer zonlicht zoveel mogelijk te vermijden, ga niet onder de zonnebank en gebruik geen zelfbruinende crème. Komt u toch in de zon, gebruik dan een zonnebrandcrème met een beschermingsfactor 30 of hoger. Voor de behandeling moet het te behandelen gebied schoon zijn. Gebruik dus geen make-up, crèmes, parfum of aftershave op de dag van de behandeling.
The treatment of pigment disorders is sometimes reimbursed from the supplementary insurance. Ask your insurer how much you are entitled to reimburse for skin therapy each year. We have an agreement with every health insurer.
