Discover the facial hydration treatment for you

Basic skin care

Skin hydration is the most popular beauty treatment of the fall, and for a good reason. Once the velvet tan, from the exposure to the summer sun, wears out, our skin is dehydrated and dull. Facial hydration treatments are a precious gift you can offer to your skin.

However, there are many facial hydration treatments. Do you know which one is best for you? The age and the level of dehydration of your skin are the two main criteria to give the correct answer to this question.

Medical cleansing

Medical cleansing is what your skin needs the most after summer, as it will remove dead cells and accumulated sebum.
Depending on the specific needs of the skin, deep cleansing will be completed with the appropriate peeling (e.g. for glow, to reduce discolorations, to treat acne, etc.), with a hydration mask and a phototherapy mask, which will enhance the effects of all the previous stages.

Hydration mesotherapy

Hydration mesotherapy can be performed with various moisturizing cocktails, which usually contain hyaluronic acid, vitamins, peptides, enzymes, minerals and amino acids. Hydration mesotherapy can be applied either by injection (with tiny pricks on the skin surface), or by microneedling. In both cases, the mild and controlled injury caused triggers the initiation of the healing process of the skin. This means that collagen and elastin production is stimulated.
Therefore, with hyaluronic acid that maximizes hydration and with the enhance of collagen and elastin production, mesotherapy is the perfect treatment to restore the valuable moisture of the skin and to get firmness and glow!

How many sessions are required? That depends on the quality and the condition of the skin. Usually, a hydration mesotherapy cycle is completed in 3-4 sessions.

Duration of effects: Mesotherapy effects last 5-6 months.

Hydration Boosters

Boosters are injectable treatments that contain mixtures of hyaluronic acid of various molecular weights, which have proven to stimulate the function of skin firbroblasts, thus enhancing collagen production. Boosters are applied with various tiny pricks on the skin. Apart from deep hydration, boosters improve skin thickness and texture. They are suitable for all skin types.

How many sessions are required? The usual protocol requires 3 sessions in one year. The first two are carried out in one month and the third one 4-5 months later.

Duration of effects: The effects last up to one year.
