eczeem

What exactly is eczema?

Eczema is an inflammatory reaction of often dry skin, which manifests as redness, flaking, bumps, or fissures. This is often accompanied by intense itching. The most common form is atopic eczema, but there are also forms such as contact eczema, seborrheic eczema, or nummular eczema.

Eczema can occur anywhere, but often especially on the face, hands, and around the eyes.

oorzaken van eczeem

Causes of eczema

  • Hormonal changes, such as eczema during pregnancy
  • Dry or damaged skin barrier
  • Disrupted gut flora; eczema and gut health are often linked

Eczema Treatment at Glow Institute

When it comes to eczema, it's important to first understand what your skin needs. During a skin analysis with our skin therapist, we assess the condition of your skin and advise on which products best support its recovery.

Proper skincare is essential to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce irritation. Additionally, the collagen lamp can help to soothe the skin and promote healing.

There is no standard eczema treatment, as every skin reacts differently. Therefore, we recommend starting with a Discover Your Glow treatment, where we completely tailor the treatment to your skin problem and sensitivity. The cost for the Discover Your Glow treatment is €149. The cost for the customized treatment plan depends on the skin analysis and the treatment plan. It is also important to support the treatment with the right products for the skin.

Is eczema treatment reimbursed?

With a medical indication (such as atopic eczema), skin therapy can be (partially) reimbursed from supplementary insurance. Contact your insurer or ask our team for advice.

How does an eczema treatment proceed?

The course of the eczema treatment depends on your skin condition and what the skin therapist advises during the intake. Because eczema is different for everyone, each treatment is completely custom-made. Generally, the treatment proceeds as follows:

1. Intake & skin analysis
We start with a comprehensive analysis of the skin and discuss your complaints, lifestyle, and possible triggers such as stress, diet, or allergies. This gives us insight into the cause of your eczema and allows us to recommend the right care.

2. Cleansing & preparation
The skin is gently cleansed with fragrance-free products that respect the skin barrier. This prepares the skin for further care without additional irritation.

3. Tailored treatment
Depending on the skin condition, we choose a soothing treatment, often within our Discover Your Glow concept. We combine hydration, restorative products, and possibly a collagen lamp to soothe the skin and stimulate recovery.

4. Soothing mask & aftercare
Afterward, we apply a soothing mask and finish with a rich, restorative cream and an SPF. The skin immediately feels calmer and better hydrated.

The treatment lasts an average of 45 to 60 minutes. What exactly is done per treatment can be found in the price list.

Pre and post-care for eczema

Our care doesn't stop after the treatment. Proper pre and post-care help keep the skin calm and prevent new flare-ups.

Pre-care:

  • Avoid sun, sauna, and hot baths 24 hours before treatment.
    Temporarily discontinue use of scrubs, acids, or retinol products.
  • Arrive with clean, make-up free skin.

Post-care:

  • Only use mild, fragrance-free products.
  • Hydrate the skin daily with a rich cream or serum.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, alcohol, and stress factors in the days following treatment.
  • Protect the skin daily with SPF 30 or higher.
  • If necessary, use a restorative cream with soothing ingredients such as niacinamide.

Can you prevent eczema?

Eczema cannot always be completely prevented, but with the right skincare routine, you can often limit new flare-ups.

  • Avoid perfumes and irritants that can dry out or irritate the skin.
  • Hydrate daily, even when the skin is calm.
  • Reduce stress, as tension can worsen eczema symptoms.
  • Use gentle, mild cleansers that preserve the natural skin barrier.
  • Protect your skin from cold and dry air, for example with a humidifier or an extra nourishing cream in winter.

Consistent care helps to keep your skin calm, hydrated, and resilient, the best foundation for getting and keeping eczema under control.

Frequently asked questions

What causes eczema?

Eczema is caused by a combination of hereditary predisposition, allergies, a compromised skin barrier, and external stimuli such as stress or dry air. This throws the skin out of balance and makes it more susceptible to irritation.

How to recognize eczema (on the face)?

Eczema can be identified by redness, itching, flakes or small bumps, especially around the eyes, cheeks, or mouth. The skin often feels tight and can become flaky or burning.

What really helps against eczema?

Targeted skin therapy in combination with mild, perfume-free products helps to soothe the skin. Light therapy, calming treatments and avoiding triggers can also reduce eczema symptoms.

How can I treat eczema?

Hydrate daily with a rich cream or serum, use gentle cleansers, and avoid irritants. For persistent complaints, a skin therapist or dermatologist can advise on appropriate treatment, such as light therapy or medicinal creams.

Can you cure eczema?

Eczema is usually chronic, but with proper care and lifestyle, you can keep it well under control and keep the skin calm for extended periods.

What suddenly causes eczema?

Sudden eczema can be caused by stress, allergies, hormonal changes, or damage to the skin barrier — for example, due to harsh products or overwashing.

Is eczema related to stress?

Yes, stress is one of the biggest triggers for eczema. It disrupts the skin barrier and can worsen existing symptoms or cause new flare-ups.

What to do for eczema around the eyes or on the face?

Only use mild, fragrance-free products and avoid makeup or creams that may irritate. Have your skin assessed by a skin therapist to get a skincare routine that suits your skin type.

What helps with extremely dry skin on the face?

Use an intensely hydrating serum or cream, protect your skin from cold and dry air, and avoid harsh cleansers. Good hydration is the basis for reducing eczema symptoms.
