Understanding your skin
TYPES, TREATMENTS & OUR approach AT NKD
Welcome to the first entry in our new blog series dedicated to empowering you with knowledge about your skin and the treatments that can help you maintain its health and vitality. Whether you’re combating signs of aging, managing acne, or simply seeking to enhance your skin's natural glow, understanding your skin type is the first step toward effective care. At NKD, we believe in a personalized approach to skincare, ensuring each treatment plan is perfectly tailored to meet your unique needs.
SKIN TYPES
NORMAL SKIN
Normal skin is well-balanced: not too oily and not too dry. This type exhibits few imperfections, no severe sensitivities, and a radiant complexion. For normal skin, maintenance focuses on preserving its balance through hydration and protection against environmental factors.
OILY SKIN
Characterized by enlarged pores and a glossy shine, oily skin tends to produce more sebum than necessary. The key to caring for oily skin is managing excess oil without over-drying, using treatments that regulate sebum production and prevent acne.
DRY SKIN
Dry skin can feel tight and might show flaking or scaling with visible lines. It requires treatments that deeply moisturize and help retain water content, preventing irritation and discomfort.
COMBINATION SKIN
Combination skin means having both oily and dry areas. The T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) might be oily, while the cheeks remain dry. Balancing such skin involves using treatments that address both conditions without exacerbating the other.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Sensitive skin reacts easily to common irritants and might show redness, itching, or dryness. Gentle treatments that soothe, reduce inflammation, and fortify the skin barrier are essential for managing sensitive skin.
COMMON SKIN CONCERNS & TREATMENTS
At NKD, we address a variety of skin concerns with specialized treatments designed to rejuvenate and heal. Here’s how we help you combat common skin issues:
ANTI-AGING
Aging skin may exhibit wrinkles, fine lines, loss of volume, and elasticity. Our SkinPen Microneedling treatment is a fantastic option for revitalizing aging skin. This procedure uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. The result? Firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
ACNE
Acne can be persistent and difficult to manage, characterized by breakouts of pimples, blackheads, and cysts. Our BioRePeel is excellent for acne-prone skin, offering a bi-phase TCA peel that provides deep cleansing, exfoliation, and renewal without the downtime associated with traditional peels. It effectively combats acne, reduces sebum production, and diminishes the appearance of acne scars.
rosacea
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness and visible blood vessels in your face. Treatments for rosacea at our spa focus on reducing inflammation, calming redness, and strengthening skin barriers. Gentle options like specialized facials with soothing ingredients can significantly improve comfort and appearance.
dryness
Chronic dryness requires a nourishing approach to skincare. Our hydrating treatments, like the Hydrafacial, are ideal for infusing the skin with moisture, improving hydration levels, and helping to restore a supple, smooth texture to parched skin surfaces.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation, including age spots and sun spots, is treated with targeted therapies that even out skin tone and enhance clarity. Treatments like chemical peels and customized facials can be effective in reducing the appearance of dark spots and promoting a more uniform complexion.
