Skin Training is an innovative approach to skincare that aims to gradually strengthen the skin's ability to regenerate and defend itself against external aggressors. Inspired by the principles of physical fitness, this method is based on the idea that, just like the body, the skin can be trained to become stronger, more resilient and more radiant. Inspired by the principles of physical fitness, this method is based on the idea that, just like the body, the skin can be trained to become stronger, more resilient and more radiant.
This technique combines targeted treatments, adapted to the specific needs of each skin type, with gradual adjustments to the skincare routine to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. Skin training is particularly appreciated for its visible long-term results, with skin becoming firmer, smoother and less prone to imperfections.
Skin Training is an innovative approach to aesthetic medicine aimed at improving the health and appearance of the skin through a personalised programme of regular treatments. This method involves "training" the skin with a tailored combination of treatments such as gentle peels, mesolift, Skinboosters to enhance its texture, elasticity and radiance.
Skin Training delivers progressive, long-lasting results, improving skin quality while combating the signs of ageing. Skin Training programmes are tailored to each skin type to give a more even, radiant complexion and healthier skin.
Skin training is based on a few key principles:
- Gradual approach: just like a physical training programme, skin training involves gradually introducing products and techniques to avoid irritation and allow the skin to adapt.
- Personalisation: every skin is unique and skin training takes into account the specific needs of each individual, adjusting treatments according to the skin's reactions and desired objectives.
- Consistency and adaptation: the success of skin training relies on consistency and the ability to adjust the routine over time, according to changes in the skin and the results observed.
For a skin training routine to be effective, it must include several essential steps:
- Gentle cleansing: use a suitable cleanser to remove impurities without damaging the skin barrier. Overly aggressive cleansing can upset the skin's natural balance, leading to dryness and irritation.
- Moisturising: Moisturising the skin is crucial to maintaining its suppleness and strengthening its barrier function. Choose a moisturiser suited to your skin type, whether light for oily skin or richer for dry skin.
- Exfoliation: Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and encourages cell renewal. It is recommended to use gentle chemical exfoliants (such as AHA or BHA acids) rather than mechanical scrubs to avoid damaging the skin.
- Sun protection: applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential to protect the skin from UV rays, which are responsible for premature ageing and many skin problems.
- Cell stimulation: introducing active ingredients such as retinol or vitamin C can stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, but always gradually to avoid irritation.
The mesotherapy, through the injection of vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid, promotes deep hydration and stimulates collagen production, providing a plumping and luminous effect. The Skinboosters reinforce this deep hydration, improving the skin's elasticity and firmness, while smoothing fine lines. The Superficial Peelings gently exfoliate to even out skin tone, tighten pores and encourage cell renewal. The PRX-T33 peel, an innovative blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide, intensely stimulates dermal regeneration without visible flaking, for firmer, more radiant skin. Finally, Sculptra, an injectable collagen inducer, progressively restores facial volume and structure while improving skin thickness, contributing to an overall rejuvenated and natural appearance. Together, these treatments form part of a personalised skintraining programme, aimed at strengthening and maintaining skin health and beauty over time.
The LED treatment can be used alongside these techniques to achieve brighter, firmer and healthier skin. For patients who want to maintain the quality of their skin over the long term, it is both a modern and effective option.
For successful skin training, it's important to avoid certain common mistakes:
- Over-exfoliation: too much exfoliation can weaken the skin barrier, causing redness, irritation and increased sensitivity.
- Using unsuitable products: choosing products that aren't suitable for your skin type or contain irritating ingredients can aggravate skin problems.
- Neglecting sun protection.
Skin training should be adapted according to skin type:
- Dry skin: priority to intense hydration with hyaluronic acid-based serums and rich creams. Gently exfoliate to avoid irritation.
- Oily skin: use purifying cleansers and non-comedogenic products. Active ingredients such as salicylic acid and niacinamide help regulate sebum production.
- Combination skin: balance skincare between oily and dry areas, adjusting moisturisation and exfoliation according to the needs of each zone.
- Sensitive skin: choose fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products, and avoid potentially irritating ingredients. The gradual introduction of new products is essential.
Skin training has a number of benefits for the skin:
- Improved texture and radiance: by strengthening the skin's barrier and stimulating cell renewal, skin training helps to achieve softer, brighter, more even-toned skin.
- Reduced signs of ageing: skin training helps to combat wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin.
- Rebalancing sebum production: skin training can help regulate sebum production, which is particularly beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin.
- Strengthening the skin barrier: a consistent, well-designed skin care protocol strengthens the skin's barrier function, protecting it from external aggressors and irritants.
The price of collagen inducers varies according to the treatment and the area to be treated.
