MEDICAL BEAUTY: THE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE CONNECTION OF MEDICINE AND COSMETICS
Whether it's an effective anti-aging treatment or tightening of individual parts of the body: for a long time there was almost no sustainable treatment for cosmetic skin problems - or no similarly effective alternative to cosmetic surgery. However, the (further) development of highly effective medical cosmetics is constantly opening up new possibilities in the field of non-surgical procedures: Medical Beauty builds the bridge between medicine and cosmetics. Especially in the area of skin rejuvenation and tightening, medical cosmetic products achieve gentle and effective results - without a scalpel and the unpleasant side effects of a surgical procedure.

WHAT EXACTLY IS MEDICAL BEAUTY AND HOW DOES MEDICAL COSMETICS WORK?
The active principle of medical facial and body care is based on the bundling of the latest medical technology and professional treatment methods. In this way, sustainable skin results can be achieved quickly and easily. At first glance, the term “Medical Beauty” sounds much more technical than the principle of medical skin care actually is: Medical Beauty can support natural beauty with targeted measures and medically effective ingredients.
With the help of so-called cosmeceuticals, wrinkles can be smoothed, the complexion regenerated, fat deposits reduced or body contours tightened - in a gentle but extremely effective way.
Cosmeceuticals combine the scientifically proven effectiveness of medical ingredients with the application of professional cosmetics. Medical cosmetic products are usually characterized by a significantly higher concentration of active ingredients compared to normal cosmetics. Medical beauty products penetrate deeper into the skin and have a very specific effect on certain skin symptoms and problems, such as loss of firmness, lack of moisture, hyperpigmentation, water or fat retention.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEDICAL FACIAL CARE AND CLASSIC COSMETICS?
In contrast to classic skin care, medical cosmetics is primarily aimed at skin renewal and improvement of certain skin problems. The focus of treatment with classic cosmetics is often more on relaxation and skin care appropriate to the skin type. Rather, dermatological cosmetics rely on skin treatment with highly concentrated, dermatologically effective ingredients. Medical cosmetics are also used to accompany medical treatments or for pre- and post-treatment of the skin during aesthetic plastic procedures.
OTHER DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEDICAL BEAUTY AND ORDINARY COSMETICS:
- While classic peelings largely work superficially on the skin, medical peelings, which are often based on effective fruit acids , can reach into the middle layers of the skin as needed penetrate and stimulate the skin's own regeneration processes.
- Through technical procedures, i.e.H The use of special devices for the treatment of certain skin problems can further intensify the effectiveness of medical cosmetics. Used here are and.a Dermabrasion techniques that gently remove dead skin cells. Devices for ultrasound or light wave treatment optimize the penetration of medical care products into the skin. Special massage devices stimulate lymphatic flow and help decongest the skin. Electromagnetic massagers also have a deep effect.
Medical beauty is not in competition with classic cosmetics; rather, dermatological cosmetics can intensify the effectiveness of cleansing and care products tailored to skin type.
DETERMINE SKIN TYPE
IN WHICH AREAS IS MEDICAL BEAUTY PRIMARY USED?
Dermatological cosmetics are not only used in addition to normal skin care, but are also used in the pre- and post-treatment of aesthetic plastic procedures. Treatment with medical cosmetics often takes place alongside therapy. Thanks to their targeted effectiveness, medical care products are also used for diseased skin, skin deficiencies or damage. Couperose, acne, scars, allergic skin problems or pigmentation disorders can be specifically treated with medical skin care. Medical Beauty is also able to delay and reverse the aging process of the skin.
