Skin concerns are an ever-relevant topic, as the skin is directly tied to one’s appearance and confidence. Generally, skin types are categorized as Dry Skin（干性皮肤）, Oily Skin（油性皮肤）, Normal Skin（中性皮肤）, and Combination Skin（混合性皮肤）, with subtypes including Oily Combination（混油皮） and Dry Combination（混干皮）. Among these, Normal Skin（中性皮肤）, which resembles the smooth and balanced skin of newborns, is often the most envied. However, the most fragile is not normal skin—but what we commonly refer to as Sensitive Skin（敏感肌）.
As the name implies, Sensitive Skin（敏感肌） refers to skin that is especially reactive or fragile. Medically, it is considered a suboptimal health status（亚健康状态） of the skin. In 2017, the International Forum for the Study of Itch’s Special Interest Group on Sensitive Skin officially defined this condition as Sensitive Skin Syndrome（SSS，敏感皮肤综合征）.
Typical symptoms include heightened skin sensitivity, discomfort such as stinging, burning, and Redness（泛红）, often resembling an allergic reaction. When inflammation occurs, secondary issues like pimples（痘痘） and Closed Comedones（闭口粉刺） may also follow.
In everyday life, not everyone is born with sensitive skin. In fact, many cases are self-induced. Factors such as the use of aggressive skincare products（刺激性护肤品）, Overwashing（过度清洁）, underlying skin diseases（皮肤基础疾病）, and external stressors（外界刺激） can all damage the skin barrier（皮肤屏障）, making the skin vulnerable and prone to sensitivity.
Fortunately, appropriate skin management（皮肤管理） options within aesthetic medicine（医美） can help treat and improve sensitive skin. During the fragile stage, treatments such as Hydrafacial（海菲秀） are recommended. This treatment deeply cleanses and nourishes the skin using its unique, non-invasive dual-action VORTEX vacuum technology, delivering nutrients to the skin quickly, helping to restore the skin’s oil-water balance（平衡油脂）, accelerate cellular metabolism（加速代谢）, and repair the skin barrier（修复皮肤屏障）.
Other effective options include Mesotherapy（水光针） or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy（PRP自体血清嫩肤）, which deliver hydrating and reparative ingredients directly into the dermis, providing deep skin rejuvenation. Once the skin reaches a stable state, Stella M22 laser treatments（超光子嫩肤）—an IPL（强脉冲光）-based technology—can be used for ongoing maintenance, targeting redness relief（祛红舒敏） and long-term skin strengthening.
Because Sensitive Skin（敏感肌） is extremely delicate, one must be cautious when selecting medical aesthetic treatments. It’s highly advisable to seek procedures from reputable, certified institutions—such as Ai Beauty Clinic—which are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in the UK. Choosing a trusted provider ensures both safety and effectiveness, helping you protect your skin—and your beauty.
