Therapeutic and preventive masks
Therapeutic and preventive masks are professional skincare treatments tailored to a specific skin type, condition, and individual needs. They may help soothe, moisturise, restore, cleanse, or strengthen the skin, as well as complement a medical, aesthetic, or post-procedure care plan.
Therapeutic and preventive masks for skin care
Therapeutic and preventive masks are a gentle yet effective way to improve, maintain, and restore the condition of the skin. At the clinic, clients can receive skincare masks selected individually by a specialist according to their skin type and current condition.
A mask may be used as a standalone preventive treatment to improve skin quality or as part of a medical or aesthetic care plan. For example, a soothing mask may be applied after a laser procedure, peel, or another more intensive skin treatment to help reduce discomfort and support skin recovery.
What are therapeutic and preventive masks?
Therapeutic and preventive masks are professional skincare products used according to the skin’s individual needs. Depending on their ingredients and the purpose of the treatment, a mask may moisturise, soothe, cleanse, nourish, restore, or help rebalance the skin.
The clinic’s specialists use innovative and effective cosmetic products from recognised manufacturers. This allows the treatment to be adapted to a variety of skin conditions, including dry, sensitive, oily, problematic, dehydrated, reddened, tired, or post-procedure irritated skin.
How is the most suitable mask selected?
The most appropriate mask is selected after assessing the condition of the skin. The specialist considers the skin type, sensitivity, moisture level, redness, condition of the pores, sebum production, signs of inflammation, and any procedures previously performed.
When a mask is used after a laser treatment, peel, or another aesthetic procedure, its purpose may be to soothe and moisturise the skin and restore comfort. When used preventively, it may help maintain a healthy, fresh, and well-cared-for appearance.
Effects of therapeutic and preventive masks
Therapeutic and preventive masks help improve the comfort and visible condition of the skin. They may be particularly beneficial when the skin feels tired, dry, sensitive, reddened, or lacks radiance.
Depending on the mask selected, the treatment may help restore moisture levels, soothe the skin, improve elasticity, rebalance oily skin, or complement a course of skincare treatments.

Who are therapeutic and preventive masks suitable for?
Therapeutic and preventive masks are suitable for different skin types and age groups. They may be used for dry, sensitive, oily, combination, mature, problematic, or dehydrated skin.
The treatment is also suitable for clients who wish to maintain good skin condition preventively, prepare their skin for an important event, or complement other aesthetic procedures. The choice of mask is always tailored individually to meet the specific needs of the skin.
Masks after laser treatments and peels
After laser procedures, chemical peels, or other more intensive skin treatments, the skin may become more sensitive, dry, or reddened.
In such cases, the specialist may recommend a soothing or restorative mask to help reduce discomfort and support the skin’s recovery processes. This type of mask is not merely a relaxing addition; it may be an important part of the post-procedure care plan, helping the skin remain comfortable and supporting the overall treatment result.
What happens during the treatment?
At the beginning of the procedure, the specialist cleanses the skin and assesses its current condition. The most suitable mask is then selected according to the skin’s needs and the purpose of the treatment.
The mask is applied for a specified period, allowing the active ingredients to take effect. After the mask is removed, suitable skincare products are applied to provide additional moisturisation or protection.
The treatment is generally pleasant and gentle and is also suitable as an additional skincare step following more intensive procedures.
How often are mask treatments recommended?
The recommended frequency depends on the condition of the skin, the purpose of the treatment, and the specialist’s advice.
Preventive mask treatments may be performed regularly to maintain the skin’s moisture levels, comfort, and fresh appearance. When a mask forms part of a medical or aesthetic care plan, such as after a peel or laser treatment, the timing and frequency are determined by the specialist.
Common myths about therapeutic and preventive masks
Myth: A professional mask is the same as a home-use mask
Professional masks are selected according to the condition of the skin and the purpose of the treatment. They often contain more active and targeted ingredients than everyday home-care products. A specialist adapts the mask to the skin’s specific needs.
Myth: A mask is only for relaxation
A mask may be relaxing, but in professional skincare it also serves a practical purpose. It may help moisturise, soothe, cleanse, or restore the skin and complement post-procedure care.
Myth: One mask is suitable for every skin type
Each skin type and condition requires a different approach. Dry skin may need deep moisturisation, sensitive skin may require soothing care, oily skin may need rebalancing, and skin recovering from a procedure may benefit from restorative care.
