Combination skin requires special care depending on the seasons and individual needs. It can be challenging to maintain skin that has uncomfortable dry areas alongside oilier zones prone to enlarged pores and blackheads. Achieving a long-term balance is key.
What is combination skin?
Combination skin features both oily areas (forehead, nose, chin) and dry patches on the rest of the face. Such skin tends to produce excess sebum in the central part of the face, leading to shine, enlarged pores, and blackheads. Conversely, dry areas can feel tight and uncomfortable. Combination skin results from external factors such as pollution, stress, smoking, or poor diet.
It is advisable to exfoliate the T-zone once or twice a week to unclog pores and refine skin texture. A product designed for combination skin will hydrate while improving overall skin quality. Additionally, a hydrating mask once or twice weekly will enhance the effectiveness of treatments. Three aesthetic treatments are suitable for elevating combination skin.
Why choose Oxygeneo, Perfect Skin or Universkin treatments?
Oxygeneo
The Oxygeneo three-in-one aesthetic treatment hydrates, nourishes, and oxygenates the epidermis from within. It operates in three stages: exfoliation, nutrient fusion, and CO2 bubble projection. 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.
With exfoliation, the skin is enriched with oxygen from within, and dead skin cells are removed. Results are immediate after the first session. The outermost skin layer is exfoliated, clearing away dead cells. The skin is renewed and primed for the infusion of essential nutrients. Next, skin texture is brightened and improved through the infusion of nutrient-rich ingredients. The appearance of wrinkles is softened, and the complexion looks more radiant. The injection of hyaluronic acid will help hydrate the skin and restore volume to dehydrated areas as we age. Additionally, the introduction of peptides will enhance water retention in the skin. This infusion will also influence pigmentation uniformity and act as an anti-ageing treatment.
Finally, through oxygenation, CO2 bubbles gently open and promote oxygen-rich blood circulation in the targeted areas. This triggers a reaction at the skin’s metabolic level, allowing active ingredients to be absorbed. After several sessions, you will notice a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, an increase in collagen, better hydration, and a smoother complexion, among other benefits.
Perfect Skin
The Perfect Skin treatment is a two-in-one solution that works on the same principle as dermal infusion. It involves exfoliating the skin and deeply infusing specific topical solutions tailored to each skin type, without injections. The result is improved firmness and high-quality regeneration. Wrinkles will be filled for a plumping effect, further enhancing your skin's radiance. Starting from the first session, results are evident, with a smoother, more hydrated, and clearer complexion. Although the Perfect Skin treatment is suitable for all skin types, skin conditions, and ages, it particularly benefits patients prone to acne, hyperpigmentation, those with dry skin tendencies, or individuals experiencing initial signs of ageing! For acne, the specific solution infused beneath the skin will target oily or flaky areas for refreshed skin.
The prepared and infused solution will reduce the harmful effects of the sun to enhance your complexion, correcting any hyperpigmentation. Regarding its anti-wrinkle effect, the Perfect Skin treatment will rehydrate fine lines. If sun exposure, stress, pollution, or smoking can damage the skin and make it dull and fatigued, this treatment will help stimulate your skin's radiance. Results will be immediately visible, but the true benefits of the treatment will unfold over time.
Universkin
The functional dermatology protocol Universkin allows for custom preparations with active ingredients and dosages determined after a thorough assessment of the patient's skin condition. This methodology acts on the skin’s function and its immediate appearance. It helps to prevent dysfunctions and balance natural defences. This bespoke approach, far from standardised models, enhances effectiveness. Depending on the assessment of your skin (oily, dry, pigmented), a cream is specially prepared for you based on a cosmetic base and a selection of active ingredients. This represents a holistic approach to skin ageing.
Due to their tailored preparation, Universkin treatments can suit all skin types. The active ingredients can address the needs of each epidermis. For instance, slack and fine line-prone skin can be treated with active ingredients rich in vitamins A or C. Skin prone to inflammation might be treated with active ingredients high in vitamin B, while oily skin can benefit from zinc-based active ingredients. Initially, a diagnostic consultation is conducted to understand your lifestyle, how your skin feels, and your cosmetic usage. After this, a skin examination is performed to observe any potential spots, wrinkles, or signs of aging. This process aims to identify facial imperfections before personalised care commences.
