Cosmetology in Bratislava

To enhance the skin’s natural potential and improve its texture, tone, and overall condition, cosmetologists use a variety of methods, including body care treatments, advanced equipment-based technologies, injectable procedures, and therapeutic techniques.  If skin conditions such as severe acne, psoriasis, or dermatitis are identified, the cosmetologist refers the patient to a dermatologist for appropriate medical treatment. 

At the Doktorpro Medical Center in Bratislava, you can book an appointment with a cosmetologist for a range of treatments, including instrumental procedures such as peeling, plasma shower, and microneedle RF lifting; injectable treatments like Botox and contour plasty; as well as facial cleansing and enzymotherapy. Appointments with cosmetologists can be booked 24/7.

Who is a cosmetologist?

A cosmetologist is a specialist engaged in non-surgical correction of aesthetic congenital and acquired defects or lesions (scars, trenches) of the skin tissues of the face and body. Such a specialist uses cosmetic, instrumental, and injectable techniques to improve skin condition and reduce signs of ageing. The cosmetologist also specializes in enhancing the shape and volume of key facial and body features, such as the lips, eyebrows, eye area, and neck.

What problems a cosmetologist in Bratislava can solve

A cosmetologist can address both aesthetic and certain dermatological concern. Problems addressed by a cosmetologist at the Doktorpro Medical Center:

• Removing hair and halting its growth by laser epilation;
• Face and body skin rejuvenation and tightening;
• Brightening dark under-eye circles;
• Improving skin firmness and elasticity;
• Slowing down and preventing age-related skin alterations (expression lines, as well as deep wrinkles and fissures);
• Smoothing skin texture and contours;
• Moisturizing and restoring the skin after external, chemical, or mechanical impact;
• Post-acne lesions (scars, pigmentation, stagnant spots);
• Microcirculation and lymphatic outflow disorders;
• Removing minor cuts and scars after illnesses, injuries, or surgeries.

Additionally, the Doktorpro Medical Center offers the removal of vascular spots (telangiectasias) on the face and limbs using the Triton Inmode device equipped with the LUMECCA attachment. This procedure employs IPL (intense pulsed light) technology, which has a selective effect on dilated capillaries, heating and destroying them without harming the surrounding tissue. The light energy penetrates the skin, gets absorbed by hemoglobin, and promotes blood vessel coagulation, followed by gradual natural resorption.

Indications for cosmetologist consultation

We suggest making an appointment with a cosmetologist in case of excessive dryness or oiliness of the skin, its flaking, over-polluted pores, or the occurrence of open or closed comedones. Skin's external “flaws” may reflect sebaceous gland dysfunction, lack of moisture, or problems with the skin barrier, requiring professional care and treatment. Other indications to consult a cosmetologist:

• Development of expression lines and the first signs of aging;
• Skin laxity and thinning;
• Loss of skin elasticity and firmness;
• Facial curvature or asymmetry (gravitational ptosis, loose jowls);
• Faded complexion;
• Frequent skin irritations, redness, and rashes;
• Dark (hyperpigmentation) or light (hypopigmentation) spots on the skin;
• Uneven skin tone;
• Prone to swelling, dark under-eye circles;
• Dilated pores;
• Skin hypersensitivity;
• Tendency toward couperose (visible spider veins).

An uneven skin surface – such as roughness or bumpiness – is also a reason to consult a cosmetologist. A doctor can evaluate your skin condition, identify possible causes of unevenness – such as dehydration, issues with the sebaceous glands, or scarring – and recommend personalized treatments to smooth and improve your skin’s texture. 

Getting ready for your cosmetology appointment

Preparing for a cosmetology appointment depends on the type of procedure and is important to prevent irritation, unwanted reactions, and contraindications – helping to ensure that the treatment is safe and comfortable. The key rules for getting ready for a cosmetology appointment are as follows:

• Avoid chemical peeling, laser resurfacing, and injectable procedures 7-10 days before the appointment (if instrumentation procedures are scheduled);
• Exclude scrubs and other abrasive agents to avoid skin irritation 3-5 days before the consultation;
• Refrain from tanning or going to a tanning salon 10-14 days before the appointment;
• Abstain from using acids (AHA, BHA), retinoids, bleaching creams, and alcohol-containing tonics 3-5 days before the consultation.

Depending on the type of appointment and the procedures scheduled, activities that cause skin overheating – such as using a sauna, taking hot baths, or engaging in intense exercise – may be discouraged the day before your visit to help prevent irritation, redness, or burns. Avoid consuming alcohol, coffee, spicy and salty meals on the day of the consultation and the day before to avoid excessive swelling.

Cosmetologist's consultation in Bratislava

Cosmetologist's consultation is a crucial first step before any cosmetological procedure. During the initial appointment, the cosmetologist will assess your skin condition, identify any aesthetic concerns, and create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs. A cosmetologist's consultation may include:

• Patient intake. The cosmetologist will ask about the patient’s age, skin type, any chronic conditions or allergies, tendency toward rashes, skin sensitivity, and lifestyle habits;
• Visual skin examination. The specialist will evaluate the skin’s hydration level, elasticity, vascular condition, presence of inflammation, enlarged pores, couperose, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and scars. This examination is intended to determine the skin type and identify any contraindications to specific procedures, such as a tendency toward allergic reactions or the presence of infectious or dermatological conditions.
• Laboratory tests. In some cases, a cosmetologist may recommend blood tests during the appointment to identify internal causes of skin issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation, excessively dry skin, or hair loss.

If skin disorders (such as rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, fungal infections, or severe acne) requiring medication are detected, a cosmetologist may refer the patient to a dermatologist. The doctor will prescribe appropriate medications – such as antibiotics, retinoids, hormonal treatments, or anti-inflammatory ointments – to address the underlying causes and symptoms of the dermatological condition. Once the skin condition becomes stabilized, the patient can get back to the cosmetologist for restorative and supportive procedures.

After the evaluation, the cosmetologist discusses possible treatment options with the patient, explains how the procedures work, and outlines the expected results. Before applying injectable and instrumentation techniques, the doctor shall speak about contraindications, possible side effects, and follow-up care measures.

Additionally, the cosmetologist can develop a personalized care plan that combines at-home skincare routines with professional cosmetic treatments. At the end of the consultation, the specialist will offer guidance on protecting your skin from external factors such as sun exposure, cold weather, and dry air, and will clearly explain each step of the recommended care or treatment plan.

Injectable cosmetology in Bratislava

Injectable cosmetology refers to the aesthetic medicine sector that involves injecting fillers (for example, hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin) under the skin, into mucous membranes, and muscles. Injections are helpful in body and facial skin rejuvenation, correction of age-related changes, improvement of skin tone and structure, as well as elimination of aesthetic flaws.

These procedures are conducted using fine needles or cannulas (special flexible, blunt-tipped tubes used to inject medications into the skin). Injectable techniques at the Doktorpro Medical Center:

• Botulinum toxin therapy. This is a method of injectable cosmetology, where botulinum toxin type A is injected into the muscles. This medication temporarily blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles, thereby relaxing them and smoothing expression lines. Botulinum toxin in cosmetology is mostly used in the forehead area, glabellar region, around the eyes, and for correcting hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Injections usually produce an effect 7-14 days after the cosmetological procedure and last for three to six months on average;
• Contour plasty. This is a method in cosmetology involving volumetric facial modeling, where fillers based on hyaluronic acid are injected under the skin. They compensate for lost volume, adjust asymmetry, smooth deep wrinkles, and shape clear facial contours (lips, cheekbones, chin, and nasolabial furrows). Hyaluronic acid retains moisture in the tissues, hydrating the skin from the inside and stimulating collagen synthesis. This effect becomes visible right after the procedure and lasts from 6 to 18 months (depending on the filler density);
• Biorevitalization. This is an injectable procedure, where native (natural) hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin in small amounts. Fillers moisturize the facial skin in depth, promote regeneration processes, and improve its quality, eliminating dryness, faded color, fine wrinkles, and signs of fatigue. This method is suitable for rejuvenating the face, neck, lower neck, and hands. The effect is seen gradually, peaking after two or three procedures, and lasts for up to six months;
• Blanching. This technique involves injecting soft, low-density hyaluronic acid fillers just beneath the skin’s surface to smooth out fine wrinkles. This method targets the “mesh” of fine, age-related lines around the mouth, eyes, cheeks, and neck, leaving the skin smoother, fresher, and more hydrated. Unlike traditional contour plasty, blanching does not add volume but instead focuses on improving skin texture. This effect lasts an average of six to nine months.

The number of procedures and intervals between them shall be defined by a private cosmetologist based on the skin condition, age, intensity of aesthetic problems, and the chosen methodology. When designing a treatment course, the cosmetologist takes into account the patient’s skin type, hydration level, wrinkle depth, metabolic rate, lifestyle, potential contraindications, and the body’s individual response to the injected substances. The expert cosmetologist will also take the desired outcome into account and choose the most effective treatment plan to achieve and maintain it.

Instrumentation cosmetology in Bratislava

Instrumentation cosmetology refers to the aesthetic medicine sector, which uses specialized modern equipment for skin care, rejuvenation, and flaw correction. These techniques rely on the use of various physical factors, such as laser energy, radiofrequency, and microcurrents. Cosmetology instruments improve skin tone and texture, stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce wrinkles, adjust the facial oval, and fight pigmentation, acne, vascular defects, and localized fat deposits.

Cosmetologists of the Doktorpro Medical Center perform mechanical and ultrasound facial cleansing. Mechanical facial cleansing is known as a classic method of deep skin purification, which removes comedones, sebum plugs, and other impurities using a unique instrument, the Uno spoon. This procedure is conducted after pre-steaming or softening the pores with special cosmetic means, thus ensuring better removal of skin impurities. This method is indicated for patients with oily and blemish-prone skin, susceptible to black spots and inflammation.

Ultrasonic facial cleansing is an instrumentation skin cleansing method that uses an ultrasonic scrubber to produce high-frequency sound waves. UV waves penetrate the pores, destroying impurities and keratinized cells, which can be easily removed from the skin surface. Ultrasound treatment is painless, non-invasive, and does not cause significant redness, making it suitable even for sensitive skin types. Moreover, this procedure stimulates blood circulation, improves skin tone, and promotes better penetration of skincare products.
