PEELINGS
Coming from the English word "to peel", peels induce a more or less deep exfoliation of the skin, depending on the active ingredients they contain.
​
LIGHT PEELS: They are most often based on fruit acid (glycolic acid) provide a radiance boost. They are similar to exfoliation and there is no social eviction
MEDIUM AND DEEP PEELS: They are mainly based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA). They act on aging and sagging skin. Social eviction ranges from 24 hours to a week.
PHOTODYNAMIC PEELING: Since “photo” means light and “dynamic” means action, photodynamic therapy is the use of light or laser energy to act against skin disease, in this case sun damage, precancerous cells (actinic keratosis), acne, and inflammatory rosacea. Your affected skin must first be coated with a cream which makes the target cells or glands more sensitive to light.
ORGANIC BIO-PEELING: The exfoliating agents are enzymes derived from fruits, yeasts, fermentation of black rice or kudzu root. These enzymes will "nibble" on the bonds between the keratinocytes, as happens naturally in the skin, exfoliation taking place more gently than with a chemical peel.
LASERS AND OTHER ENERGY-BASED DEVICES
In the last years, lasers and other energy based devices using radio frequency, ultrasound, microwaves, electromagnetic waves, or cold have become essential therapeutic tools in dermatology. Many cutaneous affections can be greatly attenuated and even erased thanks to these advanced techniques.

Dermal fillers provide a minimally invasive procedure to address these aging concerns.

TAILORED PERSONAL SKINCARE ADVICE
The only credible way to implement a corrective treatment program is by a professional individualized skin analysis. Every skin is as individual as it's owner. This applies to optimize your skin health and to detect allergies and sensitivities which can range from mild, irritating to downright debilitating (hypersensitive).
SKIN ANALYSIS
Get to know the needs of your skin and optimize skin health.
The face is the most visible part of our body, so what could be more legitimate than paying particular attention to it? Beautiful skin is maintained skin, sensitive to the little attentions that you pay to it. To have a dazzling glow day after day, it is necessary to pamper it daily and to redouble attention, when it lacks radiance.
SKIN BOOSTERS
Skin Boosters are designed to be injected superficially into the surface of the skin to provide skin hydration, boost collagen production and give the skin a glow.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, they are not injected beneath the skin to volumise or shape the face. Instead, they are very fine dermal fillers that are injected into the skin to hydrate and improve skin quality. This type of dermal filler can be injected over large treatment areas of the face, neck, and hands to increase the skin’s hydration quality. During the treatment, the multiple injections activate the fibroblasts promoting new collagen and elastin formation. The result is healthy-looking, glowing and plump skin.
​
Benefits of the skin booster treatment:
-
The dermal fillers used are very fluid, so the final result is smooth.
-
With the production of new collagen and elastin, patients can expect firmer and more youthful skin.
-
The treatment is suitable for most patients and skin types
-
Gold standard skin hydrator for radiant and glowing skin
BOTULINUM TOXIN
Relax facial lines with botulinum toxin.
​
What wrinkled are treated?
The authorization has been issued for the treatment of frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet.
​
These expression wrinkles appear due to the movement of the facial muscles and can mark the face deeply over the years causing a severe, anxious or tired look.
​
The botulinum toxin injection relaxes the injected facial muscle group and improves the physical appearance while preserving the natural facial expressions
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is the insertion of very fine short needles into the skin for the purposes of rejuvenation.
A professional microneedling device creates microscopic punctures in the skin at 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters depth. But, if the prospect of multiple needle wounds sounds slightly ominous to you, know that the punctures are more like pin-pricks that enter only surface-level deep.
Microneedling offers fairly immediate results: on a short-term basis, the treatment plumps the skin and makes the skin look more radiant from inflammation and very superficial swelling. But microneedling also promises improvement over time: According to a 2008 study, skin treated with four microneedling sessions spaced one month apart produced up to a 400% increase in collagen and elastin six months after completing treatment.
If microneedles are combined with radiofrequency, long term wrinkle and tightening as well as scar reduction can be obtained.
DERMATUDE META THERAPY
Dermatude Meta Therapy is a clinically proven 100% natural skin improvement treatment method for hydration and restoration, skin rejuvenation and skin improvement from the inside out. The skin will get a better structure, finer pores, more firmness, elasticity and a youthful appearance.
​
The treatment is done with a Meta-Ject device. It involves making micro perforations in the skin. These practically invisible micro perforations start the natural repair mechanism of the skin. It will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin is restored from the inside out through regeneration of the skin tissue. Meta Therapy has a double active function. Besides the micro perforations, active ingredients will be placed into the deeper skin layers where they are most needed and can be most active.
One can opt for skin improvement and anti-aging of the whole face, neck and décolleté as well as targeted treatments of specific lines and wrinkles. It is even possible to combine treatments to achieve the best result.
