Glycolic Acid Superficial Peels: This treatment accelerates cell renewal by gently exfoliating dead skin cells, delivering a radiant glow, even complexion, refined pores, smoother fine lines, and faded dark spots. As a preventive strategy, it boosts dermal collagen production without thinning the epidermis. The protocol starts with 3 weeks of skin prep using a fruit acid cream to confirm tolerance, followed by three peels spaced 20 days apart. Performed by a dermatologist or aesthetic physician, it demands close monitoring to prevent scabs from overexposure. Sessions cost €80-100, with no downtime—return to work immediately. Ideal from age 30; repeat every three years.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge, drawing in water to hydrate and cushion collagen fibers, protecting them from rapid breakdown due to movement and time. Key targets: nasolabial folds—the expression lines framing the lower face—treated with direct wrinkle injections for early signs. Also effective for tear troughs (0.2 ml restores cheekbone plumpness and softness). Costs €350-500 per session. Start at 35; annual touch-ups recommended.
Sun Spot Removal: Tackle spots early when small and sparse for optimal results. Proven medical options: vascular laser or affordable dry ice therapy, both causing crusts for about 10 days. Spots may recur without diligent sun protection. Begin at 30; retreat every three years approx.
