The main complaints requiring medical facial care are acne, impurities and inflammation in the facial area. The myth declaring that pimples are an adolescent problem is far from the truth. Many adults have a hard time getting their facial skin under control as well. We will strive to achieve perfection for your face, whether you are young or old. Learning to take care of yourself with the right products is a must to stabilise facial skin. The careful removal of impurities such as blackheads and sties is very valuable in a treatment schedule, because a radiant face starts with a clean face.

Medical peels with fruit acid, retinol and trichloroacetic acid will give your skin an extra boost. A superficial ‘lunchtime’ peel treatment or a deeper peel treatment provides the perfect refreshment for your facial skin. These treatments can lead to a blurring of fine wrinkles and small scars, reduction of brown pigmentation spots, narrowing of pores, a radiant complexion, and a soft feeling to ensure beautiful, better skin quality. A light treatment with a great result.

The successful treatment of scars on the face or elsewhere on the body is possible in our practice, and for every skin type too. Injections with cortisone or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling and laser technique are very good treatments. Scars do indeed fade, that is a fact.

Medical foot care and nail problems are addressed professionally by a specialised medical podiatrist under the supervision of a doctor. A unique combination that ensures adequate care for fungal nails, ingrown toenails, traumas, warts, calluses, problems with foot posture and pressure, need for insoles and a diabetic foot. A high-quality combination of care and targeted medical treatment. 

Warts are a common problem in many school-aged children, as well as adults. Patience and continued treatment is the silver bullet for the removal of warts. Freezing, drops, cream or injection for quick and painless removal; there is a range of different treatments that can be applied to the body, depending on the amount of warts and where they are located. Our advice is to remove warts or molluscae and not wait until they disappear by themselves. Children can tolerate this procedure very well after applying a light local anaesthetic numbing cream.

Allergy testing is carried out in our practice by blood tests, skin prick tests or adhesive tests. Grasses, pollen, dust mites, mould, cat, dog, perfume, product ingredients, nickel, etc.; these are just a few of the allergens we can check. Itching, eczema, breathing problems, stomach or intestinal complaints, stuffy or runny nose, watery or stinging eyes, are all an indication of an allergic reaction. In addition to treating these complaints, it is important to check your type of allergy. Do you have an atopy and genetic predisposition, is it a hypersensitivity, an irritation or a contact allergy? Check first, then treat.

Injections of medication for dermatological conditions such as hives or urticaria, psoriasis, atopic eczema, hidradenitis suppurativa (painful inflammation in the folds of the skin) are initiated and monitored in the practice.

Injections into the scalp with cortisone or with platelets-rich plasma (PRP) are an added value in various hair diseases. It often provides recovery or support for patients suffering from hair loss or a medical hair problem.

Medical follow-up of a wound is important to avoid infection and to support or accelerate the healing process. Certain medical conditions such as diabetes or impaired blood circulation can complicate the healing process. Proper care is therefore required and important to avoid scarring.

There is currently a wide range of treatment options using various laser technology. The quality and safety of these devices is crucial to achieve a good result.

Fractional CO2 laser is used to treat skin pigmentation problems, facial or body scars, stretch marks, wrinkles and skin rejuvenation. It is also possible to remove numerous skin appendages with or without minimal scarring after treatment. This means surgical intervention can often be avoided. This laser is used for both medical and aesthetic procedures with an excellent cosmetic result. The device we have in our practice has repeatedly won the award for the best non-surgical facial rejuvenation and strengthening.

Vascular laser is the device of choice to treat redness caused by blood vessels. Couperose or veins in the face, spider veins and port-wine stains are easy to remove with this laser technique. Patients with couperose and rosacea (inflammation of the face) also experience a remarkable skin improvement. This laser is of great medical and aesthetic importance in treating skin conditions.

Epilation laser is a general name for a laser that is used for permanent hair removal. After all, there are many devices on the market that claim to offer permanent hair removal, but often these claims are not backed up by results. A powerful laser is needed to remove hair quickly. The Alexandrite laser is a device that is only used in a specialised medical practice and works under the guidance of a doctor. Our practice has the latest Alexandrite epilation laser, and the results are visible after the first session. On average, our patients require a maximum of five sessions for definitive hair removal. We enjoy successful treatment and great satisfaction with our patients.

The pigment or tattoo laser is used to remove pigment in the skin very effectively and accurately. Clinique Dermatologie Gent uses the latest PICO technology for this. This laser guarantees very good results when removing pigment from a tattoo, permanent make-up, melasma or pigment spots.

The MiraDry® therapy is a new, definitive and safe technique against excessive armpit sweating and perspiration odour. Sweat glands in the armpits are destroyed by electromagnetic energy. The body has over 4 million sweat glands of which only 2% are in the armpits. Thus, eliminating this 2% has no effect on the body’s ability to cool itself. This safe procedure, which provides immediate results and requires a minimal recovery period, is the treatment for excessive sweating, now and in the future.

MiraDry® is approved by the FDA, the US Food & Drug Administration. The selection procedure for an FDA approval is very strict, and only safe treatments are approved.
