Treating sensitive skin at ODA Skin Clinic
Do you suffer from redness, a tight sensation, or stinging, or does your skin react quickly to products and external influences? Then you may have sensitive skin.
Sensitive skin can feel uncomfortable and often requires a different approach than normal skin. At ODA Skin Clinic, we look at the cause of the sensitivity and develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at restoring, strengthening, and soothing the skin.
Our goal is not only to reduce symptoms, but also to strengthen the skin barrier so that the skin becomes more resilient against daily influences.
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin reacts more quickly to irritants than normal skin. This is often because the skin barrier is weakened, causing moisture to be lost more rapidly and allowing irritating substances to penetrate the skin more easily.
As a result, the skin may turn red more quickly, feel tight, or react to factors that do not cause problems for others.
Sensitive skin can be naturally present, but can also develop due to improper skincare, excessive use of active ingredients, weather conditions, or other external factors.
