Skin and wellbeing. At a calm pace.

Élan Aesthetics is the aesthetics arm of Élan Clinic, where facial care and a medical background go hand in hand. Treatments are given by a nurse and aesthetician who understands skin anatomy as well as how health, medication and weight changes affect the skin.

Who is it for?

For you if you want regular, considered care for your skin; if you notice skin changes during weight loss, menopause or treatment; or if you simply want clear, honest advice on what actually helps in home care.

How does a treatment work?

We start with a conversation and a skin assessment. The treatment is adapted to the current condition of your skin. At the end you receive short written recommendations for home care. If your skin needs a doctor's assessment, we refer you on – see also the treatments and procedures below.

Opening on 1 November 2026

The exact range of treatments, prices and booking will be published before opening. If you would like us to let you know, write to us – no newsletter, just one personal reply.

Treatments and procedures

Skin quality. Natural freshness.

We support skin renewal and help reduce the appearance of ageing signs, uneven tone and acne scars. A simple, consistent home routine comes first; peels and microneedling are selected for your skin’s needs. Our aim is healthy, naturally cared-for skin. We set realistic expectations and build a routine that is easy to follow.

Consistent care and sun protection help prevent premature signs of sun-related ageing. Treatments target individual concerns; they do not stop natural ageing.

Skin quality is part of the whole picture.

Weight loss changes the body and can also bring changes to the face. Hydration, elasticity and an even tone help preserve a naturally well-cared-for appearance. Consistent skincare supports skin quality during weight loss, ageing and hormonal changes.

Our starting point is healthy, well-cared-for skin and preserving your natural appearance. We combine a practical home routine, sun protection and treatments chosen for your needs. You are welcome whether or not your skin concerns are related to weight loss.

Personalised skincare

Acne, dryness and sensitivity

We build a simple home routine with gentle cleansing, moisturising, sun protection and targeted ingredients. It should suit your skin and daily life. For acne, we assess the need for medical treatment and involve a doctor or refer to a dermatologist.

Chemical peels

More even tone and smoother texture

Chemical peels remove surface dead skin cells and encourage renewal. A suitable peel can improve tone and texture and reduce the appearance of superficial pigmentation and some forms of acne. Effects depend on the acid, strength and skin condition.

Microneedling

Texture, fine lines and acne scars

Controlled micro-punctures activate skin repair and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Microneedling can improve texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and acne scars. Active inflammatory acne is addressed first. Results develop gradually; suitability and the number of sessions depend on the skin.

Dark spots and uneven skin tone

We start by assessing the cause of pigmentation and your skin’s condition. Suitable chemical peels, targeted home care and daily sun protection help fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Results and the number of sessions depend on the type of pigmentation; we involve a dermatologist when needed.

Where needed, we work with a doctor so your plan can include prescription topical treatment or a dermatologist’s assessment. Active inflammatory acne is treated first; microneedling is considered once inflammation is controlled.

Why do your skin’s needs change?

How can weight loss affect the face?

Facial fat contributes to fullness in the cheeks and other areas. As it decreases during weight loss, the face may look leaner and skin laxity or lines may become more visible. Sometimes called ‘Ozempic face’, these changes can also accompany weight loss achieved in other ways. Their extent varies. Skin quality and fat volume are different: skincare and microneedling do not replace lost fat or remove substantial excess skin.

What changes with ageing and menopause?

Ageing and sun damage affect collagen and elastin, which support skin strength and elasticity. Hormonal changes around perimenopause and menopause can contribute to dryness, thinning and sensitivity. We adapt care to your skin’s current condition, with attention to hydration, the skin barrier and sun protection.

What supports results over time?

Start with a workable daily routine: gentle cleansing, suitable moisturisation and regular sun protection. Targeted ingredients, prescription treatment or procedures can be added when needed. Skincare sits within a broader health plan that includes adequate nutrition, sleep and avoiding smoking. We review progress and adjust the plan. No procedure stops ageing.

Are chemical peels and microneedling suitable for everyone?

No. We assess your skin, medication, previous reactions and contraindications before treatment, and discuss benefits, risks and recovery. Peels may cause stinging, redness or flaking; microneedling may cause redness and tenderness. Unsuitable treatment can cause irritation or pigment changes. You receive aftercare and sun-protection guidance.

What do different skin procedures do?

You do not need to know procedure names to choose appropriate care. We start with your concerns and your skin’s needs. This guide explains how common treatments differ.

Our focus: skincare, chemical peels and microneedling

Chemical peels

How do they work? An acid-based preparation is applied to remove dead surface cells and encourage skin renewal. A peel does not always cause visible peeling. Its effects and recovery depend on the acid, treatment strength and skin condition. At Élan, we are starting with superficial peels.

Which concerns? Dullness, uneven tone, clogged pores, superficial pigmentation and rough texture. An appropriate peel may also support an acne care plan; inflammatory acne needs a separate assessment for treatment.

What can you expect? The aim is a fresher complexion and smoother surface. Persistent pigmentation or unevenness may require a course of treatments. A superficial peel will not remove deep scars or substantial skin laxity.

After treatment Stinging, redness, dryness or flaking may occur. Gentle skincare and sun protection support recovery. We agree on aftercare and the timing of other procedures or active ingredients before treatment.

Certain chemical peels may also support collagen renewal. The effect depends on the acid, its strength and the depth of the peel. The main aims of a superficial peel are surface renewal, a more even tone and smoother texture.

Microneedling

How does it work? Fine needles in a specialised device create controlled micro-punctures in the skin. This triggers repair and stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a structural protein that supports skin strength.

Which concerns? Uneven texture, fine lines and indented acne scars. Microneedling is not a treatment for active inflammatory acne; inflammation needs to be controlled first.

What can you expect? Changes develop over weeks and months, rather than immediately after one session. A course may be needed. Results depend on your skin and the concern being treated. Microneedling does not replace facial fat lost during weight loss or remove substantial excess skin.

After treatment Redness, tenderness or mild swelling may last several days. We allow for recovery and provide skincare, sun-protection and makeup guidance. Suitability is assessed first, as infection, pigment changes and scarring are also possible.

Are chemical peels and microneedling performed together?

They are distinct treatments that can be used separately or within a planned course of care. Some methods combine them in one visit, but the skin, products and procedure instructions must all be suitable.

Combining two procedures does not automatically improve the result. At Élan, we first choose appropriate care, then assess whether another procedure is needed and when the skin is ready.
