How to have perfect skin without imperfections
When patients visit our aesthetic medicine center in Saint-Rémy for concerns about skin aging, they often focus on wrinkles or sagging but rarely mention skin quality.
However, even though genetics play a significant role, our skin reflects our lifestyle and hygiene: smoking, alcohol consumption, sun exposure, sleep, diet, exercise…
A person with beautiful, hydrated, toned, radiant, and even skin immediately gives the impression of someone who is healthy and takes good care of themselves.
As we age, the skin becomes thinner, dehydrated, and dull. We start to notice slight “crinkling” on the cheeks and fine vertical lines on the upper lip area (above the upper lip).
Dehydrated skin is not only a result of aging. By the age of 30, some women already have dehydrated skin. 60% of French women say their skin contributes to their beauty, but only 28% seek aesthetic treatments to improve skin quality.
To enhance skin quality and rejuvenate dull skin (caused by various factors such as smoking, sun exposure, stress, pollution, menopause…), Dr. Ghali at his aesthetic medicine clinic in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence offers several techniques that can be used alone or in combination: skin boosters, mesotherapy, and peels.
The Skin Booster is primarily composed of hyaluronic acid and represents a rejuvenation method that sits between mesotherapy and hyaluronic acid filler injections.
This product is formulated with lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which does not have volumizing properties but is highly hydrating and has a strong effect on skin density and firmness.
Its benefits include delaying the appearance of the first wrinkles, adding radiance to the complexion, improving skin tone and elasticity, and enhancing skin that is crinkled, lined, dehydrated, and lax.
The Skin Booster is recommended for patients starting at the age of 30 to prevent the first signs of aging, and for mature individuals, it can repair damage caused by time and improve the appearance of crinkled and lined cheeks.
This method also deeply hydrates the skin and stimulates the natural production of hyaluronic acid.
The treatment is generally performed on the face, neck, décolleté, and backs of the hands. Hyaluronic acid injections are administered with a needle using a layering technique or with a cannula using a fan-like distribution in the middle dermis for deep coverage of the treated area. The injection protocol typically includes 2 to 3 sessions spaced one month apart for a complete treatment, followed by maintenance sessions every 1 to 2 times per year
The MesoLift is a revitalising procedure intended to restore radiance to the skin by injecting hyaluronic acid, sometimes combined with a blend of nutrients and antioxidants, into the dermis with a fine needle.
It is comparable to a moisturising cream, but placed directly under the skin, with an effect that lasts several months.
The effects of the MesoLift include a preventive action against skin laxity, better skin tone — the skin is more hydrated, and becomes suppler and less dull — and restored radiance, with a brighter complexion.
The MesoLift can be used on the skin of the face, neck, décolleté and hands, and particularly on thin, slack and dehydrated skin, crêpey skin, smokers’ skin, fine lines, skin laxity and alopecia.
MesoLift is a revitalization procedure aimed at rejuvenating the skin by injecting hyaluronic acid, sometimes combined with a blend of nutrients and antioxidants, into the dermis using a fine needle.
It is comparable to a moisturising cream, but directly beneath the skin with a long-lasting effect lasting several months.
The effects of MesoLift include preventive action against skin laxity, improved skin tone with increased hydration, suppleness, and reduced dullness, as well as restoration of a more radiant complexion.
MesoLift can be used to treat the skin on the face, neck, décolleté, and hands, especially for fine, tone-depleted, and dehydrated skin, crinkled skin, smoker’s skin, fine lines, skin laxity, and alopecia.
Superficial peels are an aesthetic medicine technique that exfoliates the outer layer of the skin and acts deeply to regenerate it.
These peels are indicated for:
Treating and removing acne
Preventing skin laxity
Addressing the early signs of skin aging
Restoring radiance to a dull complexion
Improving a smoker’s complexion
Lightening early age spots or pregnancy spots (melasma)
Regulating enlarged pores
Managing oily skin
At Dr. Ghali’s aesthetic medicine center, superficial peels are performed using solutions based on glycolic acid (AHA) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
Medium peels in aesthetic medicine are designed to penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin, beneath the outer layer of the epidermis.
They are even more effective than superficial peels and are nearly essential for maintaining a flawless complexion each year.
Common indications for medium peels include brown spots, sunspots, and melasma resistant to superficial peels, acne scars, as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
At the Saint-Rémy aesthetic medicine clinic, the TCA peel is used as a medium peel.
