“Skin Training” is an innovative skincare approach aimed at gradually strengthening the skin’s ability to regenerate and defend itself against external aggressions. Inspired by the principles of physical training, 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 progressive adjustments to the skincare routine to improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. Skin Training is particularly appreciated for its long-term visible results: the skin becomes firmer, smoother and less prone to imperfections.
Skin Training is an innovative approach in aesthetic-oriented medicine aimed at improving the health and appearance of the skin through a personalized program of regular treatments. This method involves “training” the skin with a customized combination of treatments such as gentle peels, mesolift, and Skinboosters to enhance its quality, elasticity and radiance.
Skin Training allows for progressive and lasting results, improving skin quality while combating the signs of aging. Skin Training programs are adapted to each skin type to provide a more even, radiant complexion 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 takes into account its specific needs by adjusting treatments according to the skin’s reactions and the desired goals.
• Regularity and adaptation : the success of Skin Training depends on consistency and the ability to adjust the routine over time, based on 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 disrupting the skin barrier. Overly aggressive cleansing can disturb the skin’s natural balance, causing dryness and irritation.
• Hydration : moisturizing the skin is crucial to maintain its suppleness and strengthen its barrier function. It is recommended to choose a moisturizer suitable for the skin type: light for oily skin and 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 against UV rays, which are responsible for premature aging and many skin issues.
• Cellular stimulation : introducing actives such as retinol or vitamin C can stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality, but always progressively to avoid irritation.
Skin Training is based on a progressive and personalized approach aimed at sustainably improving skin quality through a combination of complementary treatments. Each technique targets a specific physiological mechanism: hydration, collagen stimulation, cell renewal, dermal densification or complexion evenness. The value of this method lies in the synergy between treatments, allowing for visible, natural and above all lasting results. The protocol is established according to the skin type, age, needs and goals of the patient, to achieve a harmonious and measurable improvement in skin health.
The value of Skin Training lies in the coherence of the protocol: each technique enhances the effectiveness of the previous one. The skin gradually becomes more resilient, better hydrated, more radiant and firmer. By simultaneously working on skin quality, dermal density and cellular activity, this program allows for a deep and lasting improvement of the skin.
Skin Training is aimed at patients who wish to preserve skin health, slow the effects of aging and optimize the results of their aesthetic treatments. A consultation allows for the establishment of a personalized protocol, adapted to the actual needs of the skin and the patient’s aesthetic goals.
Mesotherapy is one of the pillars of Skin Training. This treatment involves injecting a precise mixture of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid into the dermis. This combination nourishes the skin, stimulates microcirculation and increases its ability to retain water. Mesotherapy improves radiance, softens skin texture and promotes endogenous collagen production, gradually providing a subtle plumping effect. This treatment is particularly recommended for dehydrated, dull skin or skin exposed to oxidative stress.
Skinboosters provide deep and lasting hydration through the injection of lightly crosslinked hyaluronic acid into the dermis. Unlike volumizing products, they do not alter facial features; their goal is to improve skin structure. They strengthen dermal cohesion, increase skin elasticity and firmness, and reduce fine lines caused by dehydration. Skinboosters are particularly effective for patients with thin, devitalized or less supple skin.
Superficial peels play a central role in skin renewal. By removing accumulated dead cells on the surface, they stimulate cell regeneration, tighten pores and provide a clearer and more even complexion. They improve skin texture and enhance natural radiance. Performed at regular intervals, they optimize the absorption of treatments and enhance the effect of hydrating or stimulating treatments administered as part of Skin Training.
The PRX-T33 peel is an innovative peel combining trichloroacetic acid (TCA) with hydrogen peroxide. This particular formulation stimulates deep dermal regeneration without causing visible peeling, making it highly appreciated by patients seeking quick results without social downtime. PRX-T33 improves firmness, dermal density and radiance, while enhancing the overall quality of the skin. Its effects accumulate over multiple sessions, providing progressive and natural improvement.
The Sculptra, composed of poly-L-lactic acid, is an injectable collagen stimulator used to treat loss of dermal structure and thickness. This treatment works by gradually stimulating the production of new collagen, resulting in dermal thickening and a visible improvement in firmness. Sculptra also helps restore certain deep volumes, providing harmonious structural support to the face without an artificial volumizing effect. The results appear gradually, offering natural and lasting rejuvenation.
LED light therapy LED is an ideal complement to Skin Training protocols. It uses different wavelengths to stimulate cellular activity, reduce inflammation, improve skin circulation and enhance the skin’s regenerative capacity. LED therapy contributes to a brighter complexion, better firmness and faster skin recovery after other treatments. It integrates perfectly into a maintenance routine for patients wishing to maintain healthy and toned skin over the long term.
For successful Skin Training, it is important to avoid some common mistakes :
• Excessive exfoliation : over-exfoliation can weaken the skin barrier, causing redness, irritation and increased sensitivity.
• Using inappropriate products : choosing products that are not suitable for your skin type or that contain irritating ingredients can worsen skin problems.
• Neglecting sun protection.
Skin Training must be adapted to 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. Actives like 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 area.
• Sensitive skin : choose fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products and avoid potentially irritating ingredients. Any introduction of new products should be gradual.
The Skin Training offers several benefits for the skin :
• Improvement of quality and radiance : by strengthening the skin barrier and stimulating cellular renewal, the Skin Training helps achieve softer, more radiant, and more even skin.
• Reduction of signs of aging : the Skin Training helps combat wrinkles, fine lines, and skin laxity.
• Rebalancing of sebum production : the Skin Training can help regulate sebum production, which is particularly beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin.
• Strengthening of the skin barrier : a coherent and well-designed care protocol strengthens the skin’s barrier function, protecting it against external aggressions and irritants.
The price of a Skin Training protocol in Geneva varies depending on the areas treated, the techniques used, and the products selected. This progressive approach to skin regeneration is based on personalized combinations of medical procedures aimed at stimulating, strengthening, and maintaining skin quality.
The collagen stimulators, such as Sculptra, are offered at 900 CHF per vial. Hyaluronic acid injections cost 600 CHF per syringe, while the Skinbooster, used for skin hydration and densification, is priced at 400 CHF per syringe. Complementary treatments are often integrated into the protocol, such as PRX-T33 or superficial peeling, each offered at 200 CHF per session. The mesolift, indicated to revitalize thin or tired skin, is available at 300 CHF per session, and LED sessions, which enhance tissue stimulation, are billed at 50 CHF.
The overall cost of the treatment depends on the composition of the care plan, established during the medical consulation, based on the patient’s skin needs and aesthetic objectives.
Patients who follow a Skin Training protocol observe, over the weeks and then the months, a progressive yet noticeable transformation in their skin quality. Before-after comparisons show visibly more radiant, firmer, and more even skin, with a marked reduction of imperfections and signs of aging..
For deep and long-lasting hydration, the most effective treatments are : the Skinboosters, injections of lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid that deeply rehydrate and improve skin quality ; the mesolift, which combines vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid to intensely revitalize and hydrate the skin ; the Hydrafacial treatment, which deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with hydrating serums. At home, the regular application of treatments rich in hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and vitamins C and E helps maintain hydration and strengthen the skin barrier.
To strengthen the skin, it is recommended to use treatments containing antioxidants (vitamin C, E, niacinamide) to fight free radicals, creams rich in ceramides to reinforce the skin barrier, and daily sun protection (SPF 50+) to prevent UV-induced damage. Regular hydration with hyaluronic acid–based treatments and a diet rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3) also help strengthen the skin.
Premature skin aging can be linked to genetic factors (thin and fair skin), excessive sun exposure without protection, smoking which reduces collagen production, pollution and oxidative stress, or an unhealthy lifestyle (unbalanced diet, lack of sleep). The use of unsuitable or aggressive skincare products can also accelerate skin aging.
The skin has several defense mechanisms : the hydrolipidic barrier, which protects against external aggressions and preserves hydration ; the production of melanin to protect itself against UV rays ; the synthesis of collagen and elastin to ensure firmness and elasticity ; the natural cellular turnover that helps repair micro-lesions ; and the cutaneous immune system, which fights infections.
Cellular renewal slows down with age, as the production of new cells decreases. Sun exposure, dehydration, a diet low in vitamins and minerals, lack of sleep, stress, and the accumulation of dead cells due to insufficient exfoliation are also aggravating factors. To stimulate cellular renewal, it is recommended to use treatments containing exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA), retinol, and vitamin C.
