Skin revitalisation

These are various techniques using a natural skin response to skin injuries, meaning stimulation of cells in epidermis and dermis.

Phases of healing the skin after revitalisation treatments:

1. inflammation - series of chemical reactions, under precise control of the immune system. The number of growth factors for the epidermis cells increases, as well as for the capillaries and the substances stimulating fibroblasts (cells producing collagen and elastin) - lasts up to several dozen hours
2. formation of new tissues - the process lasts even up to a few months and involves increased production of proteins ans mucopolysaccharides
3. modelling of tissues - this process is the longest, as it lasts up to dozen or so months. During this phase, collagen type III (so called - young) is converted into mature collagen type I (strong, cohesive), which is a great support for the skin

Treatments used in skin revitalisation:

• microdermabrasion
• chemical peelings
• cavitation peelings
• mesotherapy
• ultrasounds
• ionophoresis

Indications for skin revitalisation:

• loss of skin firmness, skin flaccidity
• symptoms of tiredness (overwork, mental stress)
• oxygen deficiency in tissues, skin malnutrition symptoms (tobacco smokers, sallow complexion)
• conditioning of skin after pregnancy

It is possible both to apply therapies targeted at individual skin issue or generally improving the condition and appearance of the skin.

Effects:

• skin condition improvement,
• skin firming,
• skin lightening,
• skin tightening,
• fine lines removal, deep wrinkles softening.

  - neckline and hands
  Number of required sessions: 1-4 sessions every 2-4 months

• cavitation peeling + mesotherapy/mesolift
  Effects:
