What is Skin Rejuvenation & Anti-Aging?
Skin rejuvenation and anti-aging at Kirana Skin Clinic refers to a structured set of dermatological interventions designed to improve visible signs of skin aging — including fine lines, reduced elasticity, uneven pigmentation, and surface texture changes. These changes occur naturally over time due to factors such as intrinsic biological aging, cumulative sun exposure, and environmental stressors particularly relevant in Bali's tropical climate. At Kirana, each approach is evidence-based and personalised. Treatments may draw from modalities such as medical-grade topical regimens, superficial to medium-depth chemical peels, laser and light-based therapies, or collagen-stimulating procedures, depending on individual skin assessment. All protocols are designed and performed by a certified Sp.DV dermatologist at our clinic in Ubud, Bali. Outcomes vary by individual depending on skin type, baseline condition, lifestyle factors, and treatment adherence. No specific result can be guaranteed. What can be expected is a careful, medically grounded approach where your concerns, realistic expectations, and skin health are the primary considerations. A thorough consultation is the starting point for every treatment plan.
Who it is suitable for
- Adults with early to moderate signs of skin aging such as fine lines, mild laxity, or uneven skin tone
- Individuals with sun-related skin changes common in tropical climates like Bali
- Those seeking a medically supervised, evidence-based approach rather than cosmetic-only products
- Patients with realistic expectations who are open to a personalised, multi-step plan
- Anyone wishing to maintain overall skin health as part of a long-term skincare strategy
- Those with active skin conditions (e.g. rosacea, active acne) should seek a dermatologist assessment first to determine suitability
How it works at Kirana
- 1
Initial consultation: Your Sp.DV dermatologist reviews your skin history, lifestyle factors, sun exposure habits, and concerns. Skin is assessed using clinical examination to determine which modalities are appropriate.
- 2
Treatment planning: A personalised protocol is proposed, which may combine topical preparation, in-clinic procedures, and home-care guidance. Realistic timelines and expected variation in outcomes are discussed.
- 3
Skin preparation: Depending on the selected procedure, a preparatory phase using prescribed topicals may be recommended in the weeks prior to treatment to optimise skin response.
- 4
In-clinic procedure: The selected treatment is performed under clinical conditions by the dermatologist or supervised clinical staff. Comfort measures are applied throughout.
- 5
Post-procedure care: Specific aftercare instructions, prescribed products, and sun protection guidance are provided. Adhering to these instructions supports recovery and treatment outcomes.
- 6
Follow-up review: A scheduled review allows the dermatologist to assess your skin's response, address any questions, and adjust the treatment plan if needed.
What to expect
Before
Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and active skincare products. Inform your dermatologist of any medications, supplements, or recent skin treatments prior to your appointment.
During
Depending on the procedure, you may experience mild warmth, tingling, or temporary discomfort. The dermatologist and clinical team will monitor your comfort throughout and can pause the procedure if needed.
After
Some redness, sensitivity, or mild peeling is common in the days following treatment and is a normal part of the skin renewal process. Strict sun avoidance and daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher are essential during recovery. Individual recovery time varies.
Downtime and recovery
| Day 1–2 | Mild to moderate redness and skin sensitivity are expected. Avoid sun exposure, heat, and active skincare ingredients such as retinoids or exfoliants. Use only dermatologist-recommended gentle cleansers and moisturisers. |
|---|---|
| Day 3–5 | Mild peeling or flaking may occur as the skin surface renews. Avoid picking or peeling skin manually. Continue gentle cleansing, moisturising, and apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning. |
| Day 6–14 | Most visible redness and peeling typically subsides. Skin may appear more even in tone and texture. Full visible improvement develops gradually over several weeks. Consistent sun protection remains important. |
| Ongoing | Long-term results depend on individual skin biology, maintenance treatments, home-care adherence, and ongoing sun protection. Your dermatologist will advise on recommended review intervals and any maintenance protocol. |
