Cucumber tries its best for our face. It brightens discolorations, firms, eliminates bacteria, and reduces swelling. Perhaps it would prefer to be eaten, but it also accepts its beautifying role. However, these are no longer the times when we only had it at our disposal because the cosmetic world has moved forward. This does not mean eliminating natural ingredients, but adapting treatments to individual needs, thus increasing their effectiveness. What facial treatments do we currently have to choose from?
What does our skin need? This is the basic question that interests a beautician when we come to her. However, we can look at ourselves and try to answer this question. The first signs of aging begin to appear after the age of 30. This is probably related to a decrease in estrogen production, and thus the skin's regenerative abilities begin to weaken. It is a good time to start your career with treatments that support this skin function. Here should appear the inedible cucumber colleagues, such as collagen, coenzyme Q10, or hyaluronic acid. They promote skin regeneration, water binding, oxygenation, and elimination of free radicals.
For example, treatments from the Medesthetic Pro Contra series improve the condition of dry, dehydrated, matte skin. The hyaluronic acid used here stimulates cell renewal, firms, brightens, and improves the skin's natural barrier against harmful factors. Other ingredients like peptides or vitamin E additionally improve the appearance and skin tone and support repair processes. Undoubtedly, vitamin C also supports our skin. The Vit C forte treatment, apart from its anti-wrinkle effect, also supports the sun protection barrier, prevents discolorations, and has anti-inflammatory properties, e.g., in acne treatment.

Loss of skin firmness or facial contour and visible mimic wrinkles are the result of increasing loss of collagen fibers occurring after the age of 40. Resistance to harmful radiation and other external factors also weakens. Our skin then needs something more than skin after 30. Since the number of sebaceous glands decreases in skin after forty, it dries out faster, becomes more sensitive, and thinner. Skincare should include peptides, retinol, a solid 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 appear frequently and systematically.
Platelet-rich plasma treatments are an excellent solution supporting the proliferation 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 found its application in aesthetic medicine due to its function inhibiting muscle contractions, including mimic muscles. Besides this ingredient, Niacinamide, which stimulates ceramide synthesis improving hydration, elasticity, and epidermal barrier condition, is also used in the treatment. There are also peptides, hyaluronic acid, and gluconolactone, a natural antioxidant.

The laser has the ability to remodel and regenerate the skin both on the surface and so deep that no other treatment compares to it. The effects of its action are achieved after just 3 series of treatments spaced about 5 weeks apart. It gives excellent results in closing blood vessels, eliminating spider veins. It will also work for reducing stretch marks or scars. The Ellipse L2PL laser is a treatment designed for the whole face and is effective in reducing unwanted hair, removing discolorations, treating acne, and improving the condition of skin damaged by excessive sun exposure. The Ellipse laser will be a very good anti-aging method because it stimulates the deeper parts of the skin to produce collagen and by micro-damaging it with laser beams, it stimulates it to undertake self-regenerative processes.
Actually, everything depends on the regularity of treatments, whose initial goal is to care for hydration, oxygenation, and overall good skin condition, so that with time, the weakening skin functions can be taken over in terms of its regenerative capacity. Thanks to this, one can enjoy healthy, firm skin and a youthful appearance longer.
