This skincare product is one of the most effective at fighting spots on the skin and hands. Because Kligman’s trio is unstable and oxidizes quickly when exposed to light, the preparation should be refrigerated and […]

SKIN PEEL
Principle This is a dermatological procedure that removes a precise thickness of the outer layer of the skin to regenerate the eliminated layer and to stimulate the lower layers. Skin peels are described by level of penetration.Gentle skin peels (with glycolic acid) work on acne and restore the skin’s radiance.Medium and deep skin peels (typically […]
MICRODERMABRASION
Principle Microdermabrasion is an aesthetic medical procedure that smooths the epidermis, boosts complexion radiance and improves skin texture on the face, neck and hands. Microdermabrasion is done using a device that blasts micro-crystals across the skin at high speeds, and then vacuums up skin cell debris. It is often combined with cosmetic solutions that enhance […]
MESOTHERAPY / DERMA-ROLLING / MICRO-NEEDLING
Principle Mesotherapy consists of injecting very low doses of medications locally into the dermis. Created in 1952, this technique is now used in aesthetic medicine, sport medicine and pain medicine. In aesthetic medicine, depending on the instruments used, it may be referred to as mesolifting (with a needle), derma-rolling (with a roller) or micro-needling (with […]
BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTION
Principle In aesthetic medicine, the innovative technology of LEDs (light emitting diodes) is able to treat a wide variety of skin problems like the signs of ageing, dark spots, acne and scarring. Unlike lasers and pulsed light, the goal is not to heat the skin with very high energy for a very brief time, but […]
HYALURONIC ACID INJECTION
Principle A hyaluronic acid injection is one of the most popular aesthetic medical techniques today for reducing furrows and wrinkles, plumping the lips and filling out the face. Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the human body, which produces about 5 grams of it daily for the renewal of the skin tissues. With time, daily […]
THREAD LIFT
Principle This aesthetic medical procedure is designed to tighten slack tissues in the face. The suspension sutures are implanted under the skin to correct the slackening of the face and neck. They are placed using a needle and work like Velcro, “hooking onto” the skin. Thread lift can reposition tissues and areas of the face […]
CARBON DIOXIDE THERAPY
Principle Carbon dioxide therapy (CDT) is an injection of sterile medical CO2 under the skin using a very fine needle. The highly soluble gas spreads very easily through the skin cells. It firms the skin of the face and reduces cellulite and stretch marks. The influx of oxygen fights ageing and revitalizes and rehydrates the […]
OTOPLASTY
Principle Otoplasty is an aesthetic surgical operation that corrects anomalies in the cartilage of the auricles. These anomalies are what cause “protruding” ears. An incision is made in the natural fold behind the ear, the skin is then pulled back to provide access to the cartilage so that its shape can be restructured. The ears […]
RHINOPLASTY
Principle Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic surgical operation that modifies the morphology of the nasal pyramid and may sometimes be used to correct a breathing problem. The principle behind rhinoplasty is to remodel the bone and cartilage in order to beautify the nose and correct any defects, whether congenital, trauma-related or caused by the ageing process. […]
