What it is
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.
Why it happens
- A build-up of dead cells at the surface, which makes the skin rough
- Dehydration of the skin, which is not the same as not drinking enough
- Smoking and pollution, which affect the microcirculation
- Poor sleep and fatigue
- An unsuitable skincare routine, either too harsh or too basic
What we can offer
Skin booster
Hydrates the skin deeply with micro-injections of non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid.
Mesotherapy
Delivers vitamins, minerals and hyaluronic acid directly into the upper dermis.
Chemical peel
Removes the surface layers, which can even out the complexion and refine texture.
Polynucleotides
Skin biostimulation, for texture and elasticity.
What aesthetic medicine cannot do
No treatment makes up for smoking, poor sleep or a lack of sun protection in the long run. These treatments support a daily routine, they do not replace one. Persistently dull skin can also be a general sign worth a medical opinion.
Frequently asked questions
How many sessions are needed?
Most of these treatments are done in a course, usually 3 to 5 sessions 3 to 4 weeks apart, then maintenance. The number is confirmed at the consultation, based on the state of your skin.
Can they be done all year round?
Hydrating treatments can. Peels call for strict sun protection and are usually scheduled outside periods of sun exposure.
Can I wear make-up afterwards?
After micro-injections you are asked to wait 12 to 24 hours. After a peel it depends on the depth, and you are told at the end of the session.
