sensitive skin
Sensitive skin requires special care and attention. It can react negatively to certain products or environmental conditions, showing signs such as redness, itching, or irritation. At New Age Spa, located in Montreal and Laval, we specialize in treatments specifically designed for sensitive skin, ensuring that you receive both effective and gentle care tailored to your skin's unique needs.
understanding skin reactivity
Sensitive skin is more prone to react to irritants and allergens, often resulting in discomfort and visible skin changes. This skin type can be caused by genetic factors, environmental exposure, or underlying skin disorders such as eczema or rosacea. Effective management involves identifying triggers and choosing the right skincare treatments that soothe and strengthen the skin's protective barrier.
our dry skin solutions
Our soothing jelly mask facials are designed with gentle products that calm irritation and reduce redness. These treatments include mild cleansing, hydrating masks, and serums enriched with anti-inflammatory ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile. Sensitive Skin Peels: Unlike traditional chemical peels, our sensitive skin peels use very mild acids or enzymatic peels that exfoliate without causing irritation. These peels help to gently remove dead skin cells, improving skin texture and radiance without the harshness. LED Light Therapy: LED light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to heal and calm sensitive skin. Blue light has antibacterial properties, while red light reduces inflammation and promotes circulation, aiding in skin recovery and health.

What should I avoid if I have sensitive skin? Individuals with sensitive skin should avoid harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and excessive heat or cold. It’s important to use hypoallergenic products designed for sensitive skin.
How can I tell if a product is suitable for my sensitive skin? Look for products specifically labeled as suitable for sensitive skin. These products are generally free from irritants like alcohol, soap, and fragrance. Patch testing a new product on a small area of skin can also help determine its suitability.
Can diet affect sensitive skin? Yes, diet can play a role in skin health. Foods that cause inflammation, such as spicy foods or allergens, can exacerbate sensitive skin symptoms. A balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and hydration can support skin health.
Is regular skincare important for sensitive skin? Regular, gentle skincare is crucial for maintaining the health of sensitive skin. Daily hydration, protection from the sun with SPF, and gentle cleansing can help manage sensitivity and improve skin resilience.
Are there any treatments I should avoid with sensitive skin? Avoid aggressive mechanical exfoliation, high-concentration chemical peels, and any treatments that cause excessive irritation or heat, as these can exacerbate sensitive skin conditions.
Additional Information and Pre-Post Care Instructions
Before Treatment:
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and discomfort during the procedure.
-
Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating skincare products for a few days before your treatment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Ensure that your skin is well-hydrated leading up to your appointment. Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain optimal hydration levels.
After Treatment:
-
Apply Soothing Products: Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products recommended by your skincare professional to soothe and hydrate your skin post-treatment. Avoid products containing harsh ingredients or fragrances that may exacerbate sensitivity.
-
Protect Your Skin: Shield your skin from direct sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation, especially during the initial healing phase.
-
Avoid Harsh Treatments: Refrain from using abrasive scrubs, exfoliants, or harsh skincare treatments for at least one week. These products can disrupt the skin’s healing process and increase the risk of irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain hydration and support the healing process. Hydrated skin promotes faster recovery and enhances the results.
-
Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional. This may include avoiding certain activities, skincare products, or medications that could interfere with the healing process.
-
Be Patient: Results may take time to become noticeable as the skin undergoes the natural healing and regeneration process. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine to achieve optimal results over time.
