effective keratosis treatment with new age spa
Keratosis is a common skin condition characterized by rough, scaly patches that can develop due to excessive keratin production. These patches, often found on sun-exposed areas of the skin, can be both a cosmetic concern and uncomfortable. At New Age Spa, serving Montreal and Laval, we offer advanced treatments like hydradermabrasion and other modalities to smooth your skin and reduce the appearance of keratosis. Discover how our innovative treatments can help you achieve healthier, more radiant skin.
Understand keratosis skin issues
Keratosis includes several types, such as actinic keratosis, which results from long-term sun exposure and is considered a precancerous condition, and keratosis pilaris, characterized by small, acne-like bumps usually found on the arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. These conditions result from the buildup of keratin, a protective protein in the skin.
our keratosis relief treatments
Hydradermabrasion: Hydradermabrasion is an excellent treatment for smoothing the skin and reducing the appearance of keratosis. This gentle procedure combines the exfoliating action of microdermabrasion with hydrating serums to soften rough patches and promote a healthier skin texture. Chemical Peels: Chemical peels are another effective treatment option for keratosis, particularly useful for actinic keratosis. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels can reduce roughness and prevent potential progression to skin cancer. Topical Treatments: We also offer specialized topical treatments that help to control keratin production and manage symptoms. These may include retinoids, which promote cell turnover and reduce keratin buildup.

Is keratosis treatable? Yes, while some forms of keratosis are chronic, treatments like hydradermabrasion and chemical peels can significantly reduce symptoms and improve the skin’s appearance.
How many treatment sessions will I need? The number of sessions varies based on the severity of the keratosis and the chosen treatment method. Typically, multiple treatments are necessary to achieve optimal results.
Are there any side effects to these treatments? Side effects are generally minimal but can include temporary redness, peeling, or sensitivity, especially after chemical peels or hydradermabrasion.
Can keratosis lead to more serious conditions? Actinic keratosis can potentially develop into skin cancer if untreated, making early and effective treatment crucial.
Additional Information and Pre-Post Care Instructions
Before Treatment:
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and discomfort during the procedure.
-
Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating skincare products for a few days before your treatment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Ensure that your skin is well-hydrated leading up to your appointment. Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain optimal hydration levels.
After Treatment:
-
Apply Soothing Products: Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products recommended by your skincare professional to soothe and hydrate your skin post-treatment. Avoid products containing harsh ingredients or fragrances that may exacerbate sensitivity.
-
Protect Your Skin: Shield your skin from direct sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation, especially during the initial healing phase.
-
Avoid Harsh Treatments: Refrain from using abrasive scrubs, exfoliants, or harsh skincare treatments for at least one week. These products can disrupt the skin’s healing process and increase the risk of irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain hydration and support the healing process. Hydrated skin promotes faster recovery and enhances the results.
-
Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional. This may include avoiding certain activities, skincare products, or medications that could interfere with the healing process.
-
Be Patient: Results may take time to become noticeable as the skin undergoes the natural healing and regeneration process. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine to achieve optimal results over time.
