Key points
Skincare in Geneva
Skin Training is an innovative aesthetic medical approach to improve skin health and appearance through a personalised programme of regular treatments. It “trains” the skin with a tailored combination of gentle peels, mesolift and Skinboosters to strengthen quality, elasticity and radiance.
Skin Training provides gradual, lasting results, improving skin quality while addressing signs of ageing. Programmes are adapted to each skin type for a more even, radiant complexion and healthier skin.
The fundamental principles of Skin Training
Skin Training follows several key principles :
• Gradual approach : as in a physical training programme, products and techniques are introduced progressively to avoid irritation and allow adaptation.
• Personalisation : every skin is unique, and Skin Training addresses specific needs by adjusting care according to reactions and intended goals.
• Consistency and adaptation : success relies on regularity and the ability to adjust the routine over time according to skin changes and observed results.
Steps in an effective Skin Training routine
An effective Skin Training routine must include several essential steps :
• Gentle cleansing : use a suitable cleanser to remove impurities without impairing the barrier. Harsh cleansing can disrupt natural balance, causing dryness and irritation.
• Hydration : moisturising is crucial to preserve suppleness and strengthen barrier function. Choose a product suited to skin type : lightweight for oily skin and richer for dry skin.
• Exfoliation : exfoliation removes dead cells and promotes renewal. Gentle chemical exfoliants (such as AHA or BHA acids) are recommended over mechanical scrubs to avoid skin damage.
• Sun protection : broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential to protect against UV rays, responsible for premature ageing and numerous skin concerns.
• Cellular stimulation : ingredients such as retinol or vitamin C can stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality, but should always be introduced gradually to avoid irritation.
Skin Training : techniques in
aesthetic medicine
Skin Training uses a gradual, personalised approach to lastingly improve skin quality through complementary treatments. Each technique targets a specific physiological mechanism : hydration, collagen stimulation, cell renewal, dermal densification or even tone. Its value lies in treatment synergy, producing visible, natural and, above all, lasting results. The protocol is established according to skin type, age, needs and goals for harmonious, measurable improvement in skin health.
Skin Training's benefit lies in protocol consistency : each technique enhancing the previous one's effectiveness. Skin gradually becomes more resilient, better hydrated, brighter and firmer. Working simultaneously on skin quality, dermal density and cellular activity provides deep, lasting improvement.
Skin Training suits patients wishing to preserve skin health, slow ageing effects and optimise aesthetic treatment results. A consultation establishes a personalised protocol adapted to actual skin needs and aesthetic goals.
Mesotherapy : hydrating and revitalising the skin
Mesotherapy is a pillar of Skin Training. It involves injecting a precise mixture of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid into the dermis. This nourishes skin, stimulates microcirculation and increases water retention capacity. Mesotherapy improves luminosity, softens texture and promotes endogenous collagen production, gradually providing subtle plumping. It is particularly recommended for dehydrated, dull or oxidatively stressed skin.
Skinboosters : restoring deep hydration and smoothing the skin surface
Skinboosters provide deep, lasting hydration through lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid injections into the dermis. Unlike volumising products, they do not change facial features ; their aim is to improve skin structure. They strengthen dermal cohesion, increase elasticity and firmness and reduce dehydration fine lines. They are particularly effective for thin, devitalised skin lacking suppleness.
Superficial peels : evening out tone
Superficial peels play a central role in skin renewal. Removing accumulated surface dead cells stimulates regeneration, tightens pores and provides a clearer, more even complexion. They refine texture and increase natural luminosity. Regular sessions optimise skincare absorption and enhance the effects of hydrating or stimulating Skin Training treatments.
PRX-T33 peel : a stimulating peel without peeling
The PRX-T33 peel is an innovative peel combining trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide. This formulation stimulates deep dermal regeneration without visible peeling, making it popular with patients seeking quick results without social downtime. PRX-T33 improves firmness, dermal density and radiance while strengthening overall skin quality. Effects accumulate over successive sessions for gradual, natural improvement.
Sculptra : stimulating new collagen formation
Sculptra, consisting of poly-L-lactic acid, is an injectable collagen stimulator used to treat loss of dermal structure and thickness. It gradually stimulates new collagen production, thickening the dermis and visibly improving firmness. Sculptra also restores certain deep volumes, providing harmonious structural support without an artificial volumising effect. Results appear gradually for natural, lasting rejuvenation.
LED light : optimising cell regeneration
LED light therapy is an ideal complement to Skin Training. Different wavelengths stimulate cellular activity, reduce inflammation, improve circulation and strengthen regenerative capacity. LED contributes to a brighter complexion, improved firmness and faster recovery after other treatments. It fits well into maintenance for patients wishing to preserve healthy, firm skin over the long term.
Mistakes to avoid in Skin Training
Successful Skin Training requires avoiding common mistakes :
• Excessive exfoliation : this can weaken the barrier, causing redness, irritation and increased sensitivity.
• Unsuitable products : products inappropriate for your skin type or containing irritants can worsen concerns.
• Neglecting sun protection.
Skin Training programmes according to
skin type
Skin Training must be adapted to skin type :
• Dry skin : prioritise intensive hydration with hyaluronic acid serums and rich creams. Exfoliate gently to avoid irritation.
• Oily skin : use purifying cleansers and non-comedogenic products. Salicylic acid and niacinamide help regulate sebum production.
• Combination skin : balance care between oily and dry areas, adapting hydration and exfoliation to each area's needs.
• Sensitive skin : choose fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products and avoid potentially irritating ingredients. New products should be introduced gradually.
The benefits of Skin Training for the skin
Skin Training offers several benefits :
• Improved quality and radiance : strengthening the barrier and stimulating cell renewal produces softer, brighter and more even skin.
• Reduced signs of ageing : Skin Training helps address wrinkles, fine lines and laxity.
• Rebalanced sebum production : regulating sebum is particularly beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin.
• Stronger skin barrier : a consistent, well-designed protocol strengthens barrier function, protecting against external aggressors and irritants.
What is the price of skin maintenance in Geneva ?
The price of a Skin Training protocol in Geneva varies according to treated areas, techniques and selected products. This gradual regeneration approach uses personalised combinations of medical procedures to stimulate, strengthen and maintain skin quality.

The overall cost depends on the care plan established during consultation according to skin needs and aesthetic goals.
Skin Training reviews
Patients following Skin Training notice gradual but clear changes in skin quality over weeks and months. Before-and-after comparisons show visibly brighter, firmer and more even skin, with markedly reduced blemishes and signs of ageing..
Which treatments provide lasting hydration for a "baby-soft skin" effect ?
For deep, lasting hydration, the most effective treatments are : Skinboosters, lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid injections that deeply rehydrate and improve skin quality ; mesolift, combining vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid to revitalise and intensely hydrate ; Hydrafacial, deeply cleansing, exfoliating and infusing hydrating serums. At home, regular skincare rich in hyaluronic acid, ceramides and vitamins C and E maintains hydration and strengthens the barrier.
How can skin be strengthened against external aggressors ?
To strengthen skin, use antioxidants (vitamin C, E, niacinamide) to combat free radicals, ceramide-rich creams to support the barrier and daily sunscreen (SPF 50+) to prevent UV damage. Regular hydration with hyaluronic acid skincare and a diet rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3) also help.
Why does some skin age faster than other skin ?
Premature ageing can be linked to genetics (thin, fair skin), excessive unprotected sun exposure, smoking that reduces collagen production, pollution and oxidative stress, or an unhealthy lifestyle (unbalanced diet, insufficient sleep). Unsuitable or harsh skincare can also accelerate skin ageing.
What are the skin's natural defence and repair mechanisms ?
The skin has several defence mechanisms : the hydrolipidic barrier, protecting against external aggressors and preserving hydration ; melanin production for UV protection ; collagen and elastin synthesis for firmness and elasticity ; natural cell renewal to repair microscopic damage ; and the skin immune system, which fights infections.
Which factors slow skin cell renewal ?
Cell renewal slows with age as new cell production declines. Sun exposure, dehydration, a diet low in vitamins and minerals, insufficient sleep, stress and accumulated dead cells from inadequate exfoliation are further aggravating factors. Products containing exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA), retinol and vitamin C are recommended to stimulate renewal.
