Peeling five days after microneedling is a common part of healing. Published aftercare guidance describes light flaking from about day 3 to 5, with surface healing usually finished within 5 to 7 days. See your clinic if it is painful, spreading, oozing, blistering, or still heavy after about a week.

The day after Pico tattoo removal, a raised, puffy, red and tender tattoo is an expected inflammatory response. Swelling commonly peaks within the first 24 to 48 hours, then settles. Blisters may appear within 8 to 72 hours. Pain that increases after the first days, pus, fever or red streaks are not normal and need a call to your clinic.

: yes, both are normal at day three. Most remaining bumps settle over the following few days, and a bruise typically looks its most dramatic around days two to four before it starts fading. What is not normal is anything getting worse rather than better, increasing pain, spreading redness, or skin that looks pale, grey or mottled rather than purple.

You're two weeks out, you look down, and one shin is smooth while the other looks like nothing happened. The direct answer: patchy shedding on the legs two weeks after laser is normal and expected, because laser only affects hairs that were in their active growth phase on the day you were treated, and on the legs, that's only ever a minority of your follicles at once. The hairy patches aren't failures. They're follicles that were dormant that day.

If you've lost weight on Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro and your face looks older, hollower or looser than expected, here's the direct answer: skin boosters improve skin quality, hydration and glow, but they cannot fully replace facial fat volume that rapid weight loss has taken away. For mild changes, boosters and microneedling can genuinely help. For real volume loss in the cheeks or temples, you need a filler conversation, not another booster course.

If you're looking into fat freezing for a double chin, here's the direct answer: yes, cryolipolysis can reduce stubborn fat under the chin for some people, gradually, over several weeks, but it is not instant, not guaranteed, and not painless. In Amsterdam of Utrecht, a single chin fat-freezing session at Lana Skyn costs €149, or €99 per session when booked as a 3-session package (€297 total), with at least 6 weeks between sessions on the same area.

If you've just come back to Amsterdam with a suntan and you're eyeing a chemical peel or microneedling session to deal with sun spots or dull, uneven skin, wait. Getting either treatment too soon on tanned or sun-exposed skin is one of the most common late-summer skin mistakes, and it can trigger exactly the kind of pigmentation problem you were trying to fix.

most coloured tattoos can be significantly faded or removed with laser treatment, but not all colours respond equally, black and dark blue clear fastest, red and orange respond well, greens and light blues are more stubborn, and true white or very pale pastel ink generally cannot be removed by laser at all.

mesotherapy can support hair growth for some people, particularly as part of a broader plan, but the clinical evidence behind it is still limited, inconsistent, and not as strong as the evidence for treatments like minoxidil or finasteride.

If you've been thinking about laser hair removal, the question isn't just "does it work", it's "when should I actually start?" The short answer: autumn and winter are the best time to start laser hair removal, because lower sun exposure makes treatments safer and more effective, and a full course finished over the colder months means smooth, low-maintenance skin by the time summer arrives. At Lana Skyn in Amsterdam Noord, we see this pattern every year. Bookings pick up from

One of the most frustrating things clients say during consultations at Lana Skyn is: “I already had laser hair removal somewhere else… but the hair came back.” In many cases, the problem is not laser hair removal itself. The problem is: The wrong laser technology Weak treatment settings Incorrect treatment timing Hormonal hair growth Or treatments being performed without a personalised approach According to laser specialist Lana Zevnik, many clients come to Lana Skyn after ha

One of the most common questions people ask before starting tattoo removal is: What’s the difference between Pico laser and Q-switched laser tattoo removal, and does it actually matter? The short answer: yes. At Lana Skyn in Amsterdam, many clients are surprised by how quickly their tattoos begin fading after starting PicoMAX laser treatments. Some tattoos already show visible changes after the first session, especially older black ink tattoos. According to laser specialist L

One of the biggest concerns after forehead Botox is sleep, especially for people who naturally sleep on their side or stomach. Many first-time clients worry that sleeping the “wrong way” could move Botox, create uneven forehead results, or ruin the treatment overnight. In reality, forehead Botox is more stable than many people think, but the first several hours after treatment still matter. At Lana Skyn in Amsterdam, one of the most common aftercare questions is:“Can side sle

Every summer, many people stop microneedling treatments out of fear that sun exposure will completely ruin their skin or results. At the same time, others continue treatments without changing anything in their routine, even while actively tanning or preparing for beach holidays. According to skin specialist Lana Zevnik from Lana Skyn in Amsterdam, both extremes can become problematic. The truth is that summer itself is usually not the real problem. The bigger issue is how the

Most people are not afraid of Botox itself. They are afraid of looking like they’ve had Botox. The stiff forehead.The unnatural facial expressions.The overly frozen look that immediately gives away cosmetic treatment.

One of the most frustrating things women notice after starting laser hair removal is this: The hair reduces… but the bikini area still looks dark.

If glowing “glass skin” is all over TikTok, Instagram, and celebrity skincare routines, chances are you’ve heard of HydraFacial. Over the last few years, the treatment became one of the most talked-about facials in the beauty industry, promising deep cleansing, hydration, and instantly radiant skin.

A beach holiday gets booked, the weather suddenly becomes sunny, and then the question comes up: “Can laser hair removal still be done if skin gets tanned between sessions?”
