Sensitivity

What it is

Sensitive skin reacts easily to products, environment, or treatment, showing up as redness, tightness, stinging, or a compromised skin barrier. It calls for a gentle, supportive approach that calms and strengthens the skin rather than stripping it. Not every treatment is appropriate for reactive skin, which is why a consultation matters here more than anywhere.

How The Skin Code can help

Gentler, barrier-supporting options suited to reactive skin:

• HydroDiamond Facial - A gentle, hydrating treatment that cleanses and nourishes without harsh exfoliation.
• Glo2Facial® - An oxygenating treatment suitable for many skin types, supporting a calmer, healthier-looking complexion.
• Nano Infusion Facial - A gentle, non-invasive facial that supports hydration and serum absorption.
• Estie's Choice - A facial your esthetician selects based on your skin's needs on the day, which allows the approach to be tailored to sensitivity.

When to see a professional

Sensitive and reactive skin benefits most from a personal consultation, since the right plan depends on your triggers and barrier health. Some active treatments, such as strong peels or microneedling, may not be appropriate for reactive skin. Persistent redness, burning, or reactions that do not settle should be evaluated by a physician, as they can point to conditions like rosacea or dermatitis.
