Sensitive Skin vs Sensitised Skin: Do You Know the Difference?
Redness, discomfort, burning? That doesn’t always mean “sensitive” skin. At BELAMÉRES, we use scan-based diagnostics to distinguish between sensitive skin and sensitised skin — because they need different treatments.
What is sensitive skin?
- Genetic condition, lifelong
- Thin, reactive skin prone to flushing and irritation
- Often co-exists with rosacea or eczema
What is sensitised skin?
- Temporary condition caused by environment, products or stress
- Inflamed due to barrier damage or overload
- Can happen to anyone, even oily skin types
How we diagnose the difference
Using our ultrasound scan, we analyse:
- Inflammation depth
- Hydration levels
- Barrier function
- Product reaction zones
What to do for each condition
Both require barrier protection and calming — but with tailored methods.
- Fairy Frost Facial – deeply hydrating and gentle
- Low-Level Laser Therapy – reduces inflammation without friction
- GERNÉTIC Cytobi or Immuno
- BEAUTÉ PACIFIQUE X-tra Dry Skin Fix
Most importantly, we adapt your protocol as your skin evolves — and re-scan to track the results.
