Skin encyclopaedia
Skin conditions, symptoms and treatments explained without medical jargon. Check before you book a visit — or simply to know what to ask.
A
A mole - can a change be dangerous?→Usually it is someone else who notices. Your partner at the beach, your hairdresser while washing your hair, someone at the pool: "listen, has that mole on your back always looked like that?".Acne scars — how to remove them and why creams are not enough→The acne is finally gone. What remains are the marks it left behind — and often it is those, not the acne itself, that bother you most in the mirror.

F
Facial asymmetry. Causes and treatment methods→Take a photo of yourself facing the camera. Cut it in half, then put the two right halves together into one face. Then do the same with the left ones.Facial rejuvenation treatments→A woman in her thirties sits down in the chair and says, a little apologetically: "I know it's too early, but…". It is not too early.Fibromas - should you be afraid of them?→You fasten a necklace and catch on something on your neck. Small, soft, hanging from a thin thread of skin. Yesterday it wasn't there — or rather it was, only nobody noticed it.Fractional laser results→A patient sits down in the chair and says: "I would like to look the way I did ten years ago. Preferably starting tomorrow."
H
How to “burn” belly fat?→That question comes up in the clinic regularly. It is asked by women who exercise several times a week, who run, and who in summer swim or tear about on a wakeboard instead of lying on the beach.How to get rid of scars — what really works and what is a waste of time→An ointment from the pharmacy, a silicone patch, a massage with olive oil, an onion extract recommended online. Most people with a scar go down the same road — and after a few months end up in the same place.How to get rid of wrinkles?→A cream for three hundred zloty. A serum that "reduces wrinkles in 14 days". Two months of diligently patting it in every evening.How to improve your facial contour?→Well rested. Back from holiday. With a good cream on the shelf and concealer under your eye. And in the mirror someone tired and a little sad is still looking back at you.Hyperpigmentation: how to get rid of it?→You come back from your holiday tanned and happy. September goes by, the tan fades — and then something is left on your cheeks that was not there before. A brown patch. Then another one.
L
Lip augmentation with the "flat" method→Almost every patient who sits down in the chair before lip augmentation says one sentence. Sometimes straight away, sometimes only after a moment's hesitation: "Just please, no duck lips".Lipoma — a soft lump under the skin. When to remove it and when to observe it→A soft, mobile lump under the skin — on the forearm, the neck, the back or the thigh. It does not hurt, it shifts slightly under your finger, it grows very slowly or not at all.
M
Melasma (chloasma) — why the usual methods for pigmentation marks fail here→Brown, diffuse patches on the cheeks, the forehead or above the upper lip. Symmetrical — almost mirror-like on both sides of the face. In summer they darken, in winter they fade a little, but they do not disappear.Men's skincare in the clinic→A man in his forties sits down in the chair and says: “I look tired, even though I have slept well”. Or he shows a photo from five years ago and asks what has happened to his hairline.
R
S
Sagging skin — a problem you can fight at any age→You have lost ten kilos. The effort was enormous, the scale shows the result — but in the mirror, instead of satisfaction, a new problem appears. The skin on your abdomen and thighs has not kept up with the rest of your body.Sebaceous cyst — where it comes from, whether it is dangerous and how it is removed→A hard lump under the skin — behind the ear, on the neck, on the back. It does not hurt, but it has been growing slowly for months. And sometimes it suddenly turns red, warm and painful.Shaving, wax, an epilator or a laser — how they actually differ→In the morning under the shower, in a hurry, dry. In the evening before going out, because it shows after all. And again in three days.Smoker's skin — care and regeneration→“Do you smoke?” — that is one of the first questions at a consultation before a treatment.

W
Warts, verrucas and seborrhoeic lesions — how to tell them apart and what to do about them→One visit to the swimming pool is enough for something that hurts with every step to appear on your foot a few weeks later.What are pearly penile papules?→You have noticed small papules lined up in a row along the edge of the glans. The first thought is usually the worst one: a venereal disease. The second: who to tell.
