Cucumber tries its best for our face. It brightens discolorations, improves elasticity, eliminates bacteria, and reduces swelling. It might prefer to be eaten, but it also accepts its beautifying role. However, these are no longer times when we only had cucumbers available, as the cosmetic world has progressed. This does not mean eliminating natural ingredients but adapting treatments to individual needs, thus increasing their effectiveness. What facial treatments can we currently choose from?
What does our skin need? This is the basic question a beautician is interested in when we visit her. However, we can examine ourselves and try to answer this question. We start to observe the first signs of aging after the age of 30. This probably happens due to a decrease in estrogen production, thus the skin's regenerative abilities start to weaken. This is a good time to begin treatments supporting this skin function. Here, the inedible cucumber's colleagues should appear, such as collagen, coenzyme Q10, or hyaluronic acid. They promote skin regeneration, water retention, oxygenation, and free radical elimination.
For example, treatments from the Medesthetic Pro Contra series improve the condition of dry, dehydrated, dull skin. The hyaluronic acid used here stimulates cell renewal, improves elasticity, brightens, and enhances the skin's natural barrier against harmful factors. In addition, other ingredients like peptides and vitamin E further improve the skin's appearance and tone and support repair processes. Undoubtedly, vitamin C also benefits our skin. The Vit C forte treatment, besides its anti-wrinkle effect, also supports the sun barrier, prevents discolorations, and has anti-inflammatory properties, for example, in acne treatment.

Loss of skin firmness or facial contour, visible mimic wrinkles are the result of increasingly noticeable loss of collagen fibers after the age of 40. Resistance to harmful radiation or other external factors also weakens. Our skin then needs more than skin after 30 years old. Since the amount of sebaceous glands decreases in skin after forty, it dries out faster, becomes more sensitive and thinner. Skin care should include peptides, retinol, a substantial complex of vitamins A, C, and E, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or coenzyme Q10. Microdermabrasion and peels are treatments that not only cleanse the skin but also facilitate the deep penetration of active ingredients. Therefore, they should be frequent and systematic treatments here.
Platelet-rich plasma treatments are an excellent solution supporting the multiplication and maturation of epidermal cells, stimulating DNA synthesis, and activating microcirculation. Spilantol Mimical Effect is a non-invasive treatment that reduces facial mimic wrinkles and improves its contour. Spilantol is a plant extract from Echinacea purpurea, which in aesthetic medicine has been used for its function of inhibiting muscle contractions, including mimic muscles. Alongside this ingredient, Niacinamide is used in the treatment, which stimulates ceramide synthesis improving hydration, elasticity, and the state of the skin’s barrier. Peptides, hyaluronic acid and gluconolactone, a natural antioxidant, are also included.

Laser has the ability to remodel and regenerate the skin both on the surface and so deeply that no other treatment can compare. The effects of its action are achieved after just 3 series of treatments at intervals of about 5 weeks. It provides excellent effects in treatments for closing capillaries, eliminating spider veins. It also works for reducing stretch marks and scars. The Ellipse L2PL laser is designed for the entire face and is effective for hair removal, removing discolorations, treating acne, or improving the condition of skin damaged by excessive sun exposure. The Ellipse laser is an excellent anti-aging method as it stimulates deep skin layers to produce collagen and, through micro-damage by laser beams, stimulates skin regeneration processes.
Ultimately, everything depends on the regularity of treatments, which initially aim to maintain hydration, oxygenation, and overall good skin condition, to gradually take over the weakening regenerative functions of the skin over time. Thanks to this, you can enjoy healthy, firm skin and a youthful appearance longer.
