Facial cleansing is the most important and necessary step to start taking care of your skin. It enables the beautician to "read" it, to see its peculiarities, sensitivities and needs in order to formulate a strict personal program of care or special treatment if necessary, in order to avoid any unpleasant development.
In simple cases, this treatment twice a year is sufficient for every woman regardless of age or skin type (certainly after the summer holidays). Attention: cleansing, as a prerequisite for future healthy skin, should not be "left" to anyone's hands.
Teenage acne
There is a moment when the lovely baby skin enters its adolescent phase and that's when the first changes occur (the blackheads, the first unwanted pimples or white cysts). Then the mother, at whatever age and whether the child is (girl or boy), should contact an experienced beautician to prevent the development of acne. The beautician's role is, firstly, to do a careful cleaning and secondly, to teach the child herself and her mother how to take care of their skin daily at home with the right products. If, despite all this, the beautician detects a more serious problem, she must seek the help of a good dermatologist.
Moisturizers
Water is the essential source for cell life and skin beauty. Balanced moisture ensures healthy skin. At the "Maria Argeitou Institute" we choose between different hydrations.
The first category is applied with the help of electricity for deeper absorption of the ingredients – something similar to mesotherapy.
Guinot's familiar Hydradermie Double Ionisation adapts to the needs of each skin with the corresponding products.
Ideale Ydratation: Hydration treatment of the famous Carita house with the Ideal Prolift machine and the corresponding products.
The second category of hydration is performed without mechanical means.
Regenerating moisturizing treatment with collagen sheet from the famous Swiss company Valmont. It is made with 100% pure collagen soaked in polysaccharide liquid and is based on the effect of osmosis offering hydration while the polysaccharides penetrate deeply offering firming.
Aromatic Guinot: with plant extracts and essential oils.
Perle de Caviar by Ingrid Millet: moisturizing treatment based on caviar and marine collagen and whitening treatment with vitamin C as the main ingredient.
Hydration by Heliabrine from Monaco: Essential oil treatment system – complete aromatherapy with a combination of more than thirty plants, in the form of extract or essential oils.
Oiliness and adult acne
Often, teenage skin problems continue to plague some people even after reaching adulthood, while for others they may appear for the first time at a more mature age. The great American professor of dermatology Dr. Murad, one of America's leading doctors, has developed a comprehensive treatment proposal for these cases as well, based on fruit acids and the regulation of water within the tissues. Equally effective are the treatments of the Exuviance company, which are based on poly-hydroxy acids (PHAs – Poly Hydroxy Acids), vitamins and herbal extracts, directly combating oiliness.
Tightening
For all women who want to grow naturally, remain beautiful without changing their face and above all, their expression, the "Maria Argeitou Institute" proposes different and safe solutions.
Caci ultra (computer aided cosmetology instrument): the principle of treatment is based on the stimulation of valuable facial muscles. It uses microcurrents, ultrasound and pulsed light to rejuvenate the face.
Guinot's Hydradermie Lift: tightening treatment with visible results from the very first application.
LPG – Liftmassage: Deep tightening of the skin for a natural lifting effect, without electricity, with mechanical stimulation of fibroblasts (the cells responsible for the regeneration of collagen and elastin).
Carita: Two-hour luxury antiaging and highly effective firming treatment for wrinkles and relaxation with the Ideal Prolift machine.
Carole Franck Lifting: Firming treatment based on the beneficial properties of essential oils and especially ginseng – flash treatment for instant radiance when we want it.
Peeling
Facial peeling is a simple gommage before any treatment or is a treatment aimed at regulating oiliness, acne, photoaging, discoloration and even acne scars. The already well-known and acclaimed products of the Murad houses based on fruit acids, Exuviance based on poly-hydroxy-acids and Guinot (Beauté neuve) based on fruit acids and papaya enzymes are used, while the microdermabrasion method can also be chosen.
Diamond microdermabrasion
It combines the exfoliating action of the diamond with suction, activating the cells of the basal layer to produce collagen and elastin. A renewal treatment for all skin types but especially an acne scar repair treatment as well as a discoloration and antiaging treatment.
Hair removal
Radical electric hair removal with a state-of-the-art machine that combines all the technologies that help reduce pain and skin irritations.
Hair removal with a roller all over the body.
Dermafrac
Getting beautiful skin has never been easier, faster and more impressive. A new, revolutionary method of micro-channeling for beautiful skin, completely painless and without any recovery time, came to our institute. DermaFrac™ is an excellent alternative to fractional laser treatments, which are more expensive and complex. It is the best for women who want to grow beautifully. To have an ally against the time that leaves its marks. To take care of their skin, without resorting to exaggerations. After all, why does DermaFrac™ exist?
So let's see for which situations it is indicated first of all.
The DermaFrac™ System is safe and effective for many skin types and improves conditions such as:
– Acne scars.
– Stretch marks, provided they are red.
– Skin dehydration.
– Superficial fine lines and wrinkles.
– Homogenization of skin tone.
Moreover, the treatment with DermaFrac™ is individualized. With the appropriate selection of substances, it precisely targets the problem that afflicts you:
>>> Antiaging
A wonderful cocktail of peptides stimulates fibroblasts and collagen production, relaxing muscles in a subtle and completely natural way.
>>> Hydration
Hyaluronic acid causes intense hydration in the skin. And the patented formula, which uses HylaSponge® technology, has the ability to maintain this hydration of the skin.
Greater infusion of substances into the skin means better results.
– How does DermaFrac™ work?
DermaFrac™'s high-precision head uses a suction mechanism to "grab" skin tissue and bring it into direct contact with the hundreds of tiny pins on the head. These tiny needles create paths for the injection of specific substances in the form of a term, which penetrate the layer of the epidermis above, but from the capillaries and nerve endings, thus achieving a bloodless and completely painless treatment. Designed to improve the overall appearance of your skin, this procedure results in the greatest possible absorption of the term, stimulating fibroblasts and activating the natural collagen growth mechanism.
– Is there recovery time?
No. DermaFrac™ allows you to return to daily activities immediately. If you want, you can also put on make-up right after the end of the treatment. The appearance of a relative redness on the skin is common and fades very quickly. And the degree of this redness is directly related to the level of stimulation of the skin tissue during the treatment session.
- It hurts;
Our patients say it is an enjoyable treatment. The high precision in the mechanics of the DermaFrac™ head prevents any pain and/or bleeding and therefore makes the treatment a very pleasant process, with no recovery time at all.
– How many sessions are needed?
Six sessions at two-week intervals are usually recommended, followed by the necessary maintenance visits every 1-2 months. However, the exact treatment is personal and determined according to the needs of your own skin. This treatment can also include a combination of LED treatments and microdermabrasion, for even more spectacular results.
