Have a beautiful skin: microcurrents and leds for more firmness
" The skin can be stimulated efficiently by combining various sophisticated and non-invasive technologies, such as microcurrent and LEDs," said Dr. Michèle Pelletier-Aouizerate, dermatologist, president of the Led Academy. Characterized by a very weak, painless and safe intensity, the microcurrents penetrate the cells and reproduce the electric currents which they themselves induce naturally, but which become defective as they age. Thus, the activity of the cell normalizes and the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is essential for cellular reconstitution and tissue regeneration, is increased. And the cold light of the LEDs improves the density of the elastin fibers and collagen synthesis. "The doctor applies the Skeen Patches on the cheeks that work wirelessly, each with an integrated minigenerator that emits microcurrents for thirty minutes. At the same time, LED panels, placed above the patient's face, diffuse an orange light. From the first session, the skin is firmer and more pulpy.

A cream adapted to the specific problem of each (dehydration, acne, dull complexion) completes the care.
