Combination skin requires special care depending on the seasons and individual needs. It is challenging to maintain skin with uncomfortable dry areas alongside oilier zones prone to enlarged pores and blackheads. Ultimately, it will be a matter of achieving balance over the long term.
What is combination skin?
Combination skin features both oily areas (forehead, nose, chin) and dry patches on the rest of the face. This type of skin tends to produce excess sebum on the central part of the face, resulting in shine, enlarged pores, and blackheads. Conversely, dry zones can feel tight and uncomfortable. Combination skin arises from external factors such as pollution, stress, smoking, or poor diet.
Exfoliation of the T-zone is recommended once or twice a week to unclog pores and refine skin texture. A treatment suitable for combination skin will allow it to be hydrated while improving overall skin quality. Additionally, a hydrating mask once or twice a week will enhance the effectiveness of these treatments. Three aesthetic treatments are appropriate for enhancing combination skin.
Why choose Oxygeneo, Perfect Skin, or Universkin treatments?
Oxygeneo
The Oxygeneo aesthetic treatment, a three-in-one solution, hydrates, nourishes, and oxygenates the epidermis from within. It operates in three stages: exfoliation, fusion of essential nutrients, and projection of CO2 bubbles. It is suitable for all skin types, regardless of origin or pigmentation, including sensitive skin, and can target skin imperfections. The treated areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Through exfoliation, the skin is enriched with oxygen from within, and dead skin cells are removed. Results are immediate from the very first session. The outermost skin layer is exfoliated, and dead cells are eliminated. The skin is renewed and ready to receive an infusion of essential nutrients. Subsequently, the treatment will brighten and improve skin texture through the infusion of nutrient-rich ingredients. The appearance of wrinkles is softened, and the skin’s radiance is enhanced. The injection of hyaluronic acid will hydrate the skin and restore volume to dehydrated areas due to ageing. Additionally, the introduction of peptides will improve the skin’s water retention. This infusion will also impact pigment uniformity and act as an anti-ageing solution.
Finally, through oxygenation, the CO2 bubbles gently open and facilitate the circulation of oxygen-rich blood in the targeted areas. This triggers a metabolic reaction in the skin, allowing active ingredients to be absorbed. After several sessions, you will notice a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, an increase in collagen production, better hydration, and a smoother complexion, among other benefits.
Perfect Skin
The Perfect Skin treatment is a two-in-one procedure that works on the same principle as the dermal infusion. It involves exfoliating the skin and a deep subcutaneous infusion, without injection, of topical solutions specific to each skin type. The result is increased firmness and high-quality regeneration. Wrinkles will be filled in for a plumping effect, further enhancing your skin's glow. From the very first session, the results will be noticeable, with smoother, more hydrated, and clearer skin. While the Perfect Skin treatment is suitable for all skin types, conditions, and ages, it will particularly benefit patients prone to acne. It also addresses hyperpigmentation, dry skin tendencies, and those experiencing the initial signs of ageing! For acne, the specific solution infused beneath the skin will target oily or flaking areas to refresh the complexion.
The prepared and infused solution will reduce the harmful effects of the sun to enhance your complexion, correcting any hyperpigmentation in your skin. Regarding its anti-wrinkle effect, the Perfect Skin treatment will rehydrate your fine lines. If sun exposure, stress, pollution, or smoking have damaged the skin, making it dull and tired, this treatment will stimulate your skin’s radiance. Results will be immediately visible, but the true value of the treatment will become apparent over time.
Universkin
The Universkin functional dermatology protocol allows for tailored preparations with active ingredients and dosages determined after a thorough diagnosis of the patient’s skin condition. This process works on the very functioning of the skin and its immediate appearance. It helps prevent dysfunctions and balance the skin's natural defences. This bespoke process, rather than a one-size-fits-all model, enhances efficacy. Based on the skin diagnosis (oily, dry, pigmented), a cream is specially prepared for you from a cosmetic base and a selection of active ingredients. This represents a comprehensive approach to skin ageing.
Due to their custom preparation, Universkin treatments can suit all skin types. The active ingredients can specifically address the needs of each epidermis. For instance, sagging skin with fine lines can be treated with ingredients rich in vitamins A or C. Likewise, inflamed skin can be treated with active ingredients rich in vitamin B, while oily skin can be managed with ingredients containing zinc. Prior to treatment, a facial diagnostic consultation must be conducted to understand your lifestyle, how your skin feels, and the use of cosmetics. Then, an examination of your skin is carried out to observe any potential spots, wrinkles, or signs of ageing. This step is essential for identifying facial imperfections before receiving personalised care.
