Perfectly restored skin. extended mesotherapy
These are microinjections of a solution of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and free hyaluronic acid.
For what ? “It’s an instant boost of radiance, but it’s a long-term rejuvenator that pushes the skin to repair itself,” says Dr. Michelle Tordjman, who’s been doing it for decades. It is suitable for everyone, at any age. More and more we combine mesotherapy with a small ND Yag laser that heats the dermis to gently stimulate neocollagen, or even a “lunch time peel” with glycolic acid (20%), a free hyaluronic acid mini-injection or even. absorbable induction threads placed on extremely fine needles for the polylactic acid dermal network, which we do not feel under the skin at all, but promotes biorevitalization.
Suites. Some possible redness and minor bruising with the peel and associated treatments, but these are easily covered by concealer stick.
How much does it cost? ? Each treatment from €200 to €450.
Lightening shade: IPL
Pulsed light is making a comeback with super-sophisticated technologies like IPL. This light covers the entire light spectrum and depending on the filter chosen, it affects blemishes, redness or boosts skin tone. The session lasts 30 minutes.
For what ? Find an even, glowing complexion and rejuvenated skin.
Suites. Slight redness, easy to hide and discreet swelling. “The latter may be more pronounced in rosacea-prone skin. If you don’t want anyone to notice it, it is possible to lower the settings, but you need to accept two or three more sessions,” says esthetician Arno Lambert. After two or three days, the treated spots darken and stay that way for three or four days, but with a covering foundation it disappears. The protocol includes three sessions spaced one month apart.
How much does it cost? ? From 200 euros per session.
Smooth and solid. non-ablative fractional laser
It does not destroy the epidermis, it causes micro-injuries on the skin, and from there it is restored.
For what ? Restores a dull complexion, improves skin texture, tightens enlarged pores, eliminates fine lines and blemishes. The session lasts about twenty minutes.
Suites. The face is redder than after the IPL, but it remains to “make up”. “If you don’t want to be too highlighted, you should tell the doctor who will adjust your treatment, and with a good covering foundation you won’t guess anything,” advises dermatologist Severin Lafaye. The next day, the epidermis gets a rough feeling that persists for three or four days. The protocol is three-four sessions, one month apart. The result on the skin tone can be seen after two to three months.
How much does it cost? ? From 250 euros per session.
Lifting effect: HIFU
Microfocused ultrasound delivers energy throughout the epidermis with multiple effects that work on the tissue and cause its progressive retraction.
For what ? “Give a slight lifting effect to ovals and slightly drooping necks, and to lighten slightly puffy faces,” says esthetician Marie-Thérèse Bousquet. The session lasts 45 minutes. A second one is possible if necessary.
Suites. Most often, light redness, easy to hide. The result can be seen after two months.
How much does it cost? ? From 450 euros per session.
And the injections?
Quick, botox and hyaluronic acid are good lunchtime options, but you’re never immune to a bruise. “If this happens, apply a quick compression suture with cotton for a few minutes to limit bruising. Or, if your doctor is equipped with an IPL or pulsed dye laser, give it a little tap and it goes away,” adds Dr. Hugo Cartier.
