With targeted ion treatments we can preserve collagen and elastin
The skin is the largest organ of the body and its health is affected by various factors, such as ageing, extreme weight loss, decreasing muscle tissue, sagging adipose tissue, genetics and the effects of gravity in general. All these implications contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin. This phenomenon consequently leads to sagging skin on the face and body, which often has a negative effect on the perception of one's own image and the desire to socialise with others.
Highly reactive chemical compounds called free radicals also contribute to skin laxity. Chronic exposure to these unstable chemicals can cause damage to the body's cells, tissues and organs, including the epidermis.
Free radicals are often referred to as ROS (reactive oxygen species) or RNS (reactive nitrogen species), and are present in substances with which most of us commonly come into contact such as:
- some personal care products such as deodorants, cologne and shampoo
- aggressive cleaning products, glues, solvents and paints
- chemical additives for numerous packaged foods
- industrial pollution from factories (smog)
The most effective way to increase elastin and collagen levels is to activate the fibroblast cells that produce them. Therefore, there are various natural products, together with non-surgical techniques and procedures, used to firm up loose skin and thus make it look more attractive.
With some specific icoone programmes for the face, neck and décolleté, you can easily achieve these goals, as Multi Micro Alveolar Stimulation boosts collagen and elastin production.
For example, thanks to the "Neck Face One improvement of the consistency of thinned tissues and pronounced laxity in particularly delicate areas such as the upper chest, neck, face and eye/lip contour can be achieved. While the "Neck Face Two is aimed at restoring adequate tissue firmness.
Here's the good news: there are solutions you can adopt at any time in your life to keep your skin healthier and more youthful-looking!
