“Skin Training” is an innovative skincare approach aimed at progressively strengthening 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. This technique combines targeted care adapted to each skin type’s specific needs with gradual adjustments in the skincare routine to improve overall skin health and appearance. Skin Training is especially appreciated for its visible long-term results — the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and less prone to imperfections.
Skin Training is an innovative approach in aesthetic medicine designed to improve skin health and appearance through a personalized program of regular treatments. This method “trains” the skin using a tailor-made combination of treatments such as gentle peels, mesolift, and Skinboosters to
enhance texture, elasticity, and radiance. Skin Training delivers progressive and lasting results, improving skin quality while combating signs of aging.
Skin Training programs are adapted to every skin type to achieve a more even tone, enhanced glow, and healthier skin.
Skin Training is based on a few key principles :
• Progressive approach : just like a physical training program, Skin Training involves gradually introducing products and techniques to avoid irritation and allow the skin to adapt.
• Personalization : each skin is unique, and Skin Training considers each individual’s specific needs, adjusting treatments based on skin reactions and desired goals.
• Consistency and adaptation : the success of Skin Training relies on regularity and the ability to adjust the routine over time according to skin changes and observed results.
For a Skin Training routine to be effective, it must include several essential steps :
• Gentle cleansing : use a suitable cleanser to remove impurities without compromising the skin barrier. Harsh cleansing can disrupt the skin’s natural balance, causing dryness and irritation.
• Hydration : keeping the skin hydrated is crucial for maintaining suppleness and reinforcing its barrier function. Choose a moisturizer suited to your skin type — lighter for oily skin, richer for dry skin.
• Exfoliation : exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and promotes 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 aging and various skin issues.
• Cell stimulation : introducing active ingredients like retinol or vitamin C can stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, but always gradually to avoid irritation.
Mesotherapy, through injections of vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid, promotes deep hydration and stimulates collagen production, providing a plumping and radiant effect. Skinboosters enhance this deep hydration, improving skin elasticity and firmness while smoothing fine lines. Superficial peels gently exfoliate to even out the complexion, tighten pores, and promote cell renewal. The PRX-T33 peel, an innovative blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide, intensely stimulates dermal regeneration without visible peeling, resulting in firmer, more radiant skin. Finally, Sculptra, an injectable collagen stimulator, gradually restores facial volume and structure while improving skin thickness, contributing to an overall rejuvenated and natural appearance. Together, these treatments form part of a personalized Skin Training program designed to strengthen and maintain the skin’s health and beauty over time. The LED treatment can be used in combination with these techniques to achieve brighter, firmer, and healthier skin. For patients looking to maintain their skin quality over the long term, it is a modern and high-performing option.
For successful Skin Training, it is important to avoid certain common mistakes :
• Over-exfoliation : excessive exfoliation can weaken the skin barrier, causing redness, irritation, and increased sensitivity.
• Use of unsuitable products : choosing products that are not suited to your skin type or contain irritating ingredients can worsen skin problems.
• Neglecting sun protection.
Skin Training must be adapted based on skin type :
• Dry skin : focus on intense hydration with hyaluronic acid-based serums and rich creams. Gentle exfoliation 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 care between oily and dry areas, adjusting hydration and exfoliation according to the needs of each zone.
• Sensitive skin : choose fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products and avoid potentially irritating ingredients. Gradual introduction of new products is essential.
Skin Training offers several advantages for the skin :
• Improved texture and radiance : by strengthening the skin barrier and stimulating cell renewal, Skin Training leads to softer, more radiant, and more even skin.
• Reduction of signs of aging : Skin Training helps combat wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity.
• Sebum production rebalancing : Skin Training can help regulate sebum production, which is especially beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin.
• Strengthening of the skin barrier : a consistent and well-designed care protocol strengthens the skin’s barrier function, protecting it from external aggressors and irritants.
The cost of collagen stimulators varies depending on the treatment and the area to be treated.

Many patients who have followed a Skin Training protocol report a significant improvement in the appearance and health of their skin after a few weeks to a few months. Before-and-after photos show skin that is more radiant and firmer, with a visible reduction in imperfections and signs of aging.
Pour une hydratation profonde et durable, les traitements les plus efficaces sont : les Skinboosters, injections d’acide hyaluronique faiblement réticulé qui réhydratent en profondeur et améliorent la texture de la peau ; le mésolift, qui combine des vitamines, des minéraux et de l’acide hyaluronique pour revitaliser et hydrater intensément la peau ; les soins Hydrafacial, qui nettoient en profondeur, exfolient et infusent la peau de sérums hydratants. À domicile, l’application régulière de soins riches en acide hyaluronique, céramides et vitamines C et E permet de maintenir l’hydratation et de renforcer la barrière cutanée.
Pour renforcer la peau, il est recommandé d’utiliser des soins contenant des antioxydants (vitamine C, E, niacinamide) pour lutter contre les radicaux libres, des crèmes riches en céramides pour renforcer la barrière cutanée, et une protection solaire quotidienne (SPF 50+) pour prévenir les dommages causés par les UV. Une hydratation régulière avec des soins à base d’acide hyaluronique et une alimentation riche en acides gras essentiels (oméga-3) contribuent également à renforcer la peau.
Le vieillissement prématuré de la peau peut être lié à des facteurs génétiques (peaux fines et claires), à une exposition excessive au soleil sans protection, au tabagisme qui réduit la production de collagène, à la pollution et au stress oxydatif, ou encore à une mauvaise hygiène de vie (alimentation déséquilibrée, manque de sommeil). L’utilisation de soins inadaptés ou agressifs peut également accélérer le vieillissement cutané.
La peau dispose de plusieurs mécanismes de défense : la barrière hydrolipidique, qui protège contre les agressions extérieures et préserve l’hydratation ; la production de mélanine pour se protéger contre les UV ; la synthèse de collagène et d’élastine pour assurer sa fermeté et son élasticité ; le renouvellement cellulaire naturel qui permet de réparer les micro-lésions ; et le système immunitaire cutané, qui lutte contre les infections.
Le renouvellement cellulaire ralentit avec l’âge, car la production de nouvelles cellules diminue. L’exposition au soleil, la déshydratation, une alimentation pauvre en vitamines et minéraux, le manque de sommeil, le stress et l’accumulation de cellules mortes due à une exfoliation insuffisante sont aussi des facteurs aggravants. Pour stimuler le renouvellement cellulaire, il est conseillé d’utiliser des soins contenant des acides exfoliants (AHA, BHA), du rétinol et de la vitamine C.
