Frequently asked questions before visiting a cosmetologist in Krakow.

Microneedling can cause some discomfort, but the sensation varies significantly from person to person. A numbing cream is typically applied before the procedure, so most clients find it perfectly manageable. After the treatment, temporary redness, minor swelling, and increased sensitivity are completely normal skin reactions.

In practice, the Kobido session itself usually lasts about 90 minutes. The overall visit may take a bit longer if it includes an initial skin analysis, preparation, or a discussion about your future skincare plan.

It depends on the type of treatment, your skincare goals, and your skin's condition. For microneedling, a series of a few sessions spaced several weeks apart is often recommended, while maintenance treatments or massages may follow a different schedule. The safest approach is to determine the frequency individually after a professional skin assessment.

Contraindications depend on the specific procedure but generally include active infections, herpes (cold sores), fresh skin inflammation, a damaged skin barrier, certain skin conditions, a tendency to keloid scarring, and situations requiring the treatment to be postponed. The final clearance always takes place before the session, as skin safety is much more important than forcing a treatment.

During pregnancy, the choice of available treatments is limited, and many intensive procedures must be postponed. Usually, only the gentlest options are considered, such as a gentle classic facial massage, manual cleansing, or hydrating and soothing treatments. Every decision is made individually, and if you have any doubts, it is highly recommended to consult your OB-GYN.

This depends entirely on the procedure and how your skin reacts. After gentler treatments, you can usually return to makeup much sooner. However, after microneedling or stronger chemical peels, it is best to wait until the skin completely settles down and strictly follow your personalized post-treatment care guidelines. The golden rule is not to overload freshly treated skin too early.

Following more intensive treatments, a short break from heavy workouts, saunas, and swimming pools is usually recommended, as sweat, heat, and chlorine can increase irritation. The exact timeframe depends on the procedure and how your skin behaves, so it is best to follow the instructions provided right after your visit.

Sometimes yes, provided that the combination is safe and serves a therapeutic purpose. Not every combination is a good fit for every skin type, so this decision should be made after evaluating your skin, the goal of your visit, and how your skin tolerates specific types of procedures.
