MEDICAL FACIALS at LANA SKYN

3. Are chemical peelings safe? Yes — when they’re chosen correctly for your skin type. At Lana Skyn we use Toskani medical peelings, which allow us to treat concerns like pigmentation, acne, scars and uneven tone safely and effectively. Every peeling is selected based on your skin sensitivity, lifestyle and goals. We never use peelings that are too strong for your skin. During your consultation, we explain the whole process so you know exactly what to expect, including what type of peeling is suitable and what the downtime may be. 4. What is a Bio Peeling and how does it differ from chemical peelings? Bio Peeling uses natural herbal ingredients instead of acids. It stimulates skin renewal in a gentle, more natural way, making it ideal for clients who prefer plant-based treatments or who have sensitive skin. It helps with dullness, mild acne, congestion and uneven texture. Chemical peelings, on the other hand, use active acids to target deeper layers of the skin — making them more effective for pigmentation, scars or more visible texture concerns. During your consultation we help choose the method that suits your skin best. ​ 5. Is microneedling painful? Microneedling is generally very tolerable. Most clients describe it as a scratchy or warm sensation. A numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort if your skin is sensitive or if we are treating deeper concerns like scarring. The treatment works by creating tiny micro-injuries that trigger collagen production. This helps the skin become smoother, firmer and more even over time. The discomfort is minimal compared to the results it achieves. ​ 6. What is the difference between standard microneedling and advanced microneedling? Standard microneedling is excellent for improving texture, fine lines, pores and mild pigmentation. Advanced microneedling using Skin Formula protocols goes deeper and combines more active ingredients, making it ideal for post-acne scarring, stubborn pigmentation, deeper texture issues and overall skin remodeling. We determine which level you need based on your skin condition and how intensive your treatment plan should be. ​ 7. How many sessions do I need for acne or pigmentation treatments? The number of sessions depends on the severity of your concerns, your skin type and how your skin responds. Most clients start seeing visible improvements after 3–5 treatments, but more chronic issues like pigmentation or acne scarring may require 5–8 sessions or a combination of treatments. At Lana Skyn, we create a realistic plan so you always know what is achievable and within what timeframe. ​ 8. Is there downtime after a medical facial? This varies. INDIBA ONA Hydrafacial has little to no downtime — you can continue your day immediately. Chemical peelings, microneedling and advanced treatments may cause redness, mild peeling or sensitivity for a few days. This is completely normal and part of the skin renewal process. We always explain the expected downtime before your treatment so you can plan accordingly, and we guide you with detailed aftercare instructions. 9. Can sensitive skin receive medical facials? Yes! Sensitive skin often needs professional guidance. We adapt every treatment to your skin’s tolerance, choosing gentle techniques like INDIBA ONA Hydrafacial, Bio Peeling or light microneedling. We avoid harsh ingredients and always prioritise repairing and strengthening your skin barrier first. The goal is to calm, balance and bring your skin back to a healthy foundation. 10. Do I need a consultation before starting treatments? Yes! A consultation ensures we truly understand your skin and your goals. Skin concerns can look similar on the surface but have very different root causes. During the consultation, we examine your skin, ask about your routine, lifestyle and concerns, and explain which treatments will help you safely achieve the results you want. This personal approach is essential for long-term skin success and prevents unnecessary or incorrect treatments. ​ 11. Are results permanent? Medical facials improve the skin’s health and appearance, but ongoing maintenance is important — just like with dental care or fitness. Treating acne, pigmentation or scars can produce long-lasting improvements, but skincare habits, hormones, stress and sun exposure also play a role in how the skin evolves. We help you maintain your results with suitable treatments and professional homecare so your skin stays clear, bright and balanced. ​ 12. Are you easy to reach for treatment? Yes! e’re located in Banne Centrum, Amsterdam Noord, with free parking nearby, excellent bike access and only a few minutes from Amsterdam Centrum via the Noord/Zuidlijn (M52). This makes it easy to come regularly for facial treatments or follow-up care without stress.
