The medical cosmetology consultation

The doctor will have you complete a thirty minute questionnaire to get a better understanding of your skin. He asks you about your cosmetic skincare routines, determines your phototype and does a thorough examination of your skin to prescribe the serum that meets your needs.

The preparation of Universkin® serum

Universkin® is the result of years of research to understand how to reprogram the skin so that it reactivates properly. Each serum contains between one and three active ingredients chosen from twenty pure active ingredients, which makes it possible to create up to 2850 different formulas for the face and 1159 formulas for the body.

The active ingredients are incorporated into a basic serum that contains:

Essential fatty acids :

Camelina oil, a fatty acid known for its richness in Omega-3.

Biomimetic peptides :

Peptides are naturally occurring molecules in the skin that send signals to the main skin cells (fibroblasts, keratinocytes). For example, when collagen is damaged they tell the skin cells to produce more collagen. The younger cells produces these peptides naturally and at the right time. It is now possible to "copy" these natural biological messengers. These copies are the biomimetic peptides that replace the older molecules of the skin to preserve and regenerate it.

Hyaluronic acid :

It is a molecule naturally present in the body that stimulates cellular activity and ensures proper skin hydration. The body makes about 5 grams a day for the renewal of skin tissue.

The ingredients are mixed before you and you leave with your personalized product which will be different from the next because your skin evolves. A Universkin® serum lasts six weeks.

Each fully customized formula consists of the basic serum with three pure active ingredients. The Full body range offers products suitable for the body but can also treat the face.
