Teenager Treatments in Basel
Gentle, age-appropriate and honest advice — for clear, healthy skin.
Puberty & skin
Why teenage skin needs special care
During puberty, hormones shift, sebum production spikes, pores clog faster, and pimples, blackheads and redness become constant companions. Many teens then reach for aggressive drugstore products, or borrow creams from their parents' bathroom meant for mature skin — and often make things worse.
Young skin needs gentle, targeted care that cleanses without drying out. At Kosmetikstudio Basel we treat young skin with high-quality Dermalogica products and send you home with an individual routine — honest advice, practical tips, and products that fit into everyday life.
5 tips for clear skin
Small habits, big impact — what we recommend to every teenager.
Hands off your pimples
Squeezing yourself pushes bacteria deeper into the skin and leaves scars that last for years. Have blemishes extracted professionally and hygienically instead.
Cleanse morning & night
Morning to remove overnight sebum, evening to wash off dirt, sweat and (for some) make-up. Always with a gentle cleanser — never harsh bar soap.
Skip the adult products
Anti-aging creams, strong retinols or heavy oils from your parents are too rich for young skin — they clog pores and make breakouts worse. Stick to products made for your skin type.
Sunscreen is not optional
UV light makes acne scars and pigmentation darker — and those stay for life. A lightweight, non-comedogenic SPF 30+ belongs in your daily routine, even in Basel, all year round.
Less is more
TikTok routines with 10 products overwhelm young skin. An honest mini-routine — cleanse, moisturise, SPF — works better than a shelf full of bottles.
Pro extraction every 6–8 weeks
What you can't safely do at home, we do in the studio: hygienic, targeted, gentle. Paired with a mask and honest advice — a reset for your skin.
What we offer
Age-appropriate treatments at fair prices — for young skin.
Youth Treatment
The core facial for young skin
Youth Treatment (Teenager)

Brow care & tinting
A groomed look without overdoing it
Brow shaping
CHF 30 – 45Subtle eyebrow shaping — natural, not overdone. Especially for a first brow appointment, we show you how to gently maintain the shape at home between visits.

Dermalogica Clear Start
Clear Start is the Dermalogica line specifically developed for teenage skin. Unlike many drugstore products, it cleans deeply without drying the skin — and skips the unnecessary ingredients.
After every treatment we put together an individual mini-routine — usually 2 to 3 products are enough. No sales pitch, just honest recommendations that fit your skin and your budget.
What you should know
From age 16, teenagers can come to their appointments on their own. Younger teens are accompanied by a parent for the first appointment — we get to know each other calmly, go through skin history, medications and any allergies. From the second appointment, your child is welcome to come alone.
We deliberately work without sales pressure: no expensive subscription models, no cross-sells, no adult treatments for young skin. The Youth Treatment costs CHF 135 — and that's usually all your daughter or son needs.

What teens and parents often ask
Everything you should know before your first appointment.
From age 16 you can come on your own. Younger teens are accompanied by a parent for the first appointment — for any follow-up appointments you're welcome to come alone.
The combination of professional, gentle extractions in the studio (every 6–8 weeks) and a simple Dermalogica Clear Start routine at home. Clear Start is formulated specifically for young, blemish-prone skin — effective but not drying.
The Youth Treatment costs CHF 135 and takes around 75 minutes. It includes cleansing, peel, extractions, mask and a personal at-home skincare consultation.
Yes, but very selectively and gently — only blackheads and surface blemishes. With hygienic tools, never fingernails. Anything that isn't ready is left alone, so no scars form.
Dermalogica Clear Start is our go-to for teenage skin. After every treatment we put together a mini-routine — usually 2 to 3 products are enough. Affordable and easy to use.
Absolutely. Male teenage skin often produces even more sebum and is more prone to acne. With shaving starting, professional care is particularly helpful to avoid razor burn and ingrown hairs.
Just come in without make-up and relax. If you're on prescription acne medication (e.g. isotretinoin / Roaccutane), please let us know in advance — some treatments aren't suitable in that case.
For active acne or heavier breakouts, we recommend every 4–6 weeks for 3–4 appointments, then every 6–8 weeks for maintenance. Consistency beats intensity.
