Beauty salons “MilleFey”

Methodology: Photodynamic therapy Heleo4

How does it work: The pronounced therapeutic effect of Heleo4 is achieved through selective exposure to light, which penetrates damaged dermal cells and triggers the process of their self-destruction. Ekaterina Kovaleva, a cosmetologist and esthetician at the Mille Fey beauty salons, believes that this approach will help cope with any problem, be it rosacea, acne or swelling.

The targeted effect is facilitated by a photosensitizer code-named spherometallochlorin, obtained from natural spirulina algae: first the gel is applied, and then an LED lamp comes into play, which activates the latter. Spherometallochlorin identifies defective elements in tissues and concentrates in them, providing isolated exposure to light flux. Thus, natural rejuvenation mechanisms are launched.

Heleo4 is based on the effect of three color spectrums on the skin. Red light is suitable for anti-age procedures: it helps fight wrinkles, stimulates collagen synthesis and increases tissue density. Yellow regulates metabolic processes, reduces hyperpigmentation, tightens the oval of the face and improves skin tone. Blue fights acne and prevents inflammation due to its pronounced antibacterial effect. Radiations can be combined with each other.

Methodology: Cellular Matrix rejuvenation technology

How does it work: Temperature changes, wind, dry indoor air – all this disrupts the skin’s protective barrier. Hence the dryness, peeling, redness, and feeling of tightness that we get at the beginning of spring. “To restore the skin, we successfully use the Swiss injection technology Cellular Matrix or “cellular matrix,” says Anna Bogdanova, dermatovenerologist, deputy. chief physician of KIEM. “This is an innovative solution that, using patented technology, combines specially prepared hyaluronic acid and the patient’s autologous plasma, enriched with the patient’s own platelets, in one preparation.”

Both solo ingredients not only enhance, but multiply each other’s effects: hyaluronic acid forms a framework that increases skin elasticity and hydration. It comfortably contains platelets rich in youth factors, which restore and rejuvenate the skin at the cellular level, activate the production of young collagen and elastin, and improve microcirculation. “The effect of the procedure is both immediate – noticeable after just a few hours – and cumulative, so we recommend repeating it two or three times with an interval of 3-4 weeks,” adds Anna Anatolyevna. “However, after the first session, the skin tolerates temperature changes much better, becomes elastic and smooth, and dryness, peeling and redness disappear. It is also worth noting the pronounced modeling effect of Cellular Matrix: the oval line of the face is instantly leveled, cheekbones are delicately shaped, nasolabial folds are smoothed and the skin of the neck is tightened.

Methodology: hydrogen peeling with placental cell therapy Amenity

How does it work: Hydrogen care has a comprehensive effect on facial skin, helps eliminate unevenness and imperfections, makes the tone uniform, and also reduces the severity of wrinkles. Antioxidants used in the procedure give the skin radiance, hydration and a healthy appearance – renew and restore the dermis after winter. “The beginning of spring is the ideal time to exfoliate, remove dead skin cells and prepare it for active sun rays. The procedure can be performed both the day before and on the day of an important event; the main advantage is that it has an express effect and does not require time for rehabilitation,” shares Encore Spa cosmetologist and esthetician Maria Mironova. In other words, this is an effective program for renewing and rejuvenating the skin at the cellular level.
