Concerns
What bothers you, what explains it, and the treatments that can address it.
Wrinkles and fine lines
Set creases and surface lines
Wrinkles are folds in the skin that stay visible at rest. Fine lines are shallower and mark the surface, mainly around the eyes and mouth. The two call for different things: a set wrinkle is filled, a fine line is treated by improving skin quality.

Facial sagging
Jawline, jowls and marionette lines
Sagging shows first along the jawline, which loses its definition. Jowls appear, marionette lines deepen and the neck follows. It is a mix of skin that has loosened, fat that has dropped and volumes that have emptied.

Facial volume loss
Flat cheeks, hollow temples
With age the face does not only wrinkle, it empties. The cheeks flatten, the temples and cheeks hollow, and the eyes look tired. The face takes on a more rectangular shape, where it used to be triangular with the point at the chin.

Dark circles
Hollows, shadows and tired eyes
Dark circles cover three different situations. A hollow dark circle is a dip under the eye that casts a shadow. A pigmented dark circle is a brown discolouration of the skin. A vascular one looks blue, from vessels showing through thin skin. The treatment is not the same in each case.

Lips
Volume, outline and lip lines
Lips thin with age, the outline becomes less defined and vertical lines appear above the upper lip. Some people come in about this ageing, others about a volume they have always found insufficient. The two requests are not treated the same way.

Dull skin
Dull, dehydrated skin with no glow
Dull skin reflects less light. The complexion looks grey or muddy, the texture is uneven and make-up sits less well. It is often the first thing people notice in a photograph, before the wrinkles.

Pigmentation
Brown marks on the face and hands
Pigment marks are darker patches of skin caused by excess melanin. On the face and hands they are most often sun spots or melasma. The two have different causes and are not treated the same way.

Acne scars
Marked skin, pits and open pores
Acne scars are marks left in the dermis after inflammatory acne. The most common ones are depressed, in different shapes depending on their depth. They often come with open pores and uneven skin texture.

Acne
Spots, oily skin and redness
Acne is not only a teenage condition. It also affects adults, women in particular, with lesions mainly on the lower face. It combines blackheads, red spots and sometimes deeper lesions.

Neck and décolleté
Thin skin, creases and lost firmness
The neck and décolleté often age faster than the face, and are more rarely protected from the sun. The skin there is thin and has few sebaceous glands. Horizontal creases, vertical lines and brown marks appear early.

Hands
Hollow backs of the hands and marks
Hands often give away age before the face does. The back of the hand hollows, tendons and veins stand out, and brown marks appear. The skin there is thin and heavily exposed to the sun.

Hair loss
Finer hair, thinning scalp
Losing hair is normal, up to about 100 a day. What matters is hair loss that carries on, a scalp that is thinning, or hair that is becoming finer. The cause should be looked for before any treatment.

Localised fat
Stubborn pockets of fat
Some pockets of fat do not shift despite a balanced diet and regular exercise. They are often on the abdomen, the flanks, the thighs or under the chin. It is these localised areas, in someone whose weight is stable, that cryolipolysis is for.

Body skin laxity
Abdomen, arms and thighs
The skin of the body loses firmness with age, after pregnancy or after weight loss. It shows most on the abdomen, the inner arms and the inner thighs. The skin looks thinner and less toned.

Stretch marks
Marks from skin stretching
Stretch marks are scars from the dermis being stretched. They start red or purple, then turn white and pearly over time. Recent stretch marks, while still coloured, respond better to treatment than older ones.

Excessive sweating
Underarms, hands or forehead
Excessive sweating means sweating more than temperature regulation calls for. It most often affects the underarms, the palms, the soles of the feet or the forehead. It gets in the way of daily and working life.
