    Benefits:

    • Natural glow effect
    • Improves texture and elasticity

    • Overall improvement in skin quality

    Duration: approximately 2 years

    Best for: subtle and long-lasting rejuvenation

    Which treatment should you choose based on your concern?

    Each treatment works differently and addresses specific needs. The right choice depends on your main concern and desired outcome.

    • Expression lines → Neuromodulators (relax muscles and smooth wrinkles)
    • Volume loss → Dermal fillers (restore volume and redefine contours)
    • Dull or dehydrated skin → Skinboosters (deep hydration and improved radiance)
    • Skin laxity or overall aging → Biostimulators (stimulate collagen and firm the skin)

    In many cases, the best approach is to combine treatments to achieve natural and harmonious results.

    Skin Dehydration: How to Recognize the Signs and Restore Hydration

    Hydrating treatment applied to dehydrated skin, using skincare products such as moisturizers and serums.

    What Are the Signs of Dry Skin?

    Dry skin is a common concern that can affect anyone, regardless of age or skin type. Signs of skin dehydration include:

    • Tightness – A feeling of tension, especially after cleansing
    • Flaking – Peeling skin or the appearance of small scales
    • Redness – Irritated or inflamed areas may develop
    • Dull complexion – Dehydrated skin often lacks radiance
    • Itching –Discomfort that can worsen dryness

    Recognizing these signs early allows you to adopt the right habits to effectively rehydrate your skin.

    Tips for Optimal Hydration

    Drink Enough Water

    Healthy skin hydration starts from within. Drinking sufficient water daily is essential. As a general guideline, about 8 glasses per day (roughly 2 liters) is recommended, although needs may vary depending on physical activity, environment, and diet. Proper hydration helps maintain skin elasticity and prevent visible signs of dryness.

    Prepare Your Skin to Better Absorb Hydrating Products

    Applying hydrating products is important — but your skin must be ready to absorb them efficiently. Here are key strategies:

    • Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that can block product penetration. Treatments such as microdermabrasion and Bela MD help refine the skin and improve absorption.
    • Use hydrating serums: Before applying moisturizer, a serum can significantly enhance hydration. Serums typically contain concentrated active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the skin.
    • Choose appropriate moisturizers: Look for formulas containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides, known for their hydrating and barrier-repairing properties.
