In general, sensitive skin can be improved through proper skincare, gentle cleansing, radiofrequency therapy, photorejuvenation, hyaluronic acid injections, and other similar methods.

Generally, sensitive skin can be improved through proper skincare, gentle cleansing, radiofrequency therapy, photorejuvenation (IPL), hyaluronic acid injections, and other methods. It is recommended to perform these procedures under the guidance of a professional physician to ensure safety and compliance. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Proper Skincare
Regular use of moisturizers or lotions containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and other ingredients can help strengthen the skin barrier, alleviate dryness, and reduce sensitivity.
2. Gentle Cleansing
Using mild, non-irritating facial cleansers can help maintain clean and hydrated skin, effectively removing surface dirt and excess oil, thereby relieving skin sensitivity.
3. Radiofrequency Therapy
Radiofrequency therapy utilizes radiofrequency energy to promote collagen remodeling and regeneration in the deeper layers of the skin, thereby enhancing the skin's natural defense mechanisms. The typical reference price for radiofrequency therapy is 2000–5000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is usually seen within 1–2 days, although side effects such as redness and pain may occur.
4. Photorejuvenation (IPL)
Photorejuvenation uses intense pulsed light to stimulate skin cell activity and promote collagen synthesis, thus enhancing the skin's barrier function and alleviating sensitivity. The typical reference price for IPL treatment is 500–1500 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is generally observed within 1–2 days, although adverse reactions such as redness and pain may occur.
5. Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Mesotherapy)
Hyaluronic acid injections deliver large amounts of hydration and nutrients directly into the skin cells and tissues to repair the skin barrier and reduce sensitivity symptoms. The typical reference price for hyaluronic acid injections is 1000–3000 RMB per injection. Improvement is usually noticeable within 1–3 days, although possible side effects include infection and allergic reactions.
Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, regular sleep patterns, and reducing the intake of spicy, greasy, and irritating foods are also essential for maintaining overall skin health.
