To maintain a radiant complexion and rosy cheeks even in winter, this treatment to be carried out in an institute is second to none! We tested it.
The cold season often means dull complexion and dry skin. To counter these effects, many of us rely on ultra-rich, very moisturizing creams, vitamin C-based products and masks galore. But it could well be that a particular treatment, to be carried out in an institute, is the key to maintaining an impeccable glow even in the coldest temperatures. That’s it, your curiosity is piqued? We explain everything to you!
Carried out in five steps using a machine with multiple attachments, this protocol allows you to deeply hydrate the skin, purify it, plump it up but also obtain a radiant complexion and slightly rosy cheeks. His name? The Cellular Expert, which is offered at the very chic Maison Lutetia in the 17th district of Paris. First, the face is deeply cleansed using a lactic acid lotion which exfoliates the skin, while sucking up impurities with a nozzle. Pores are refined and the complexion clarified. Then it’s time for intense hydration thanks to the application of a lotion enriched with hyaluronic acid and royal jelly. The second step of the treatment consists of applying a hyaluronic acid mask accompanied by a technique called electroporation, which uses light currents to optimize the absorption of active ingredients. The professional then takes care of the lower part of the face, worked with electrostimulation in order to firm the skin, then an LED light is placed in order to optimize the benefits of the treatment and reveal a luminous complexion. Finally, we finish the protocol with a vitamin C serum, and a tool with a cold effect. In total, the Cellular Expert lasts approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. In fact, it is similar to the Hydrafacial, a very popular treatment that is practiced every nine seconds around the world. This involves deep cleansing of the skin using a stylus with a spiral tip which draws in impurities and hydrates the epidermis. It helps restore healthy, luminous skin in thirty minutes. For his part, the Cellular Expert relies on more numerous steps, each targeting a different problem, and works in greater depth.
But then in terms of results, does the protocol really live up to its promises? Well the answer is yes. In addition to enjoying a real moment of relaxation (I almost fell asleep on several occasions), it truly regenerates the skin. During the test, I arrived with a relatively tired face following a period of excess (thanks to girlfriends’ weddings), and therefore a few spots on my face in addition to pronounced dark circles. A nice painting! At the end of the hour, the short nights of the previous weekends were erased. Hello fresh complexion, glow and rosy cheeks. Better yet, in the following days, the few blackheads that appeared on my chin and forehead were greatly reduced thanks to the deep cleansing of the skin. The use of numerous moisturizing agents throughout the treatment truly plumps the skin and reduces fine lines. The ultimate proof? The dehydration lines present on my forehead are almost invisible following the protocol. The following days, I went out without makeup because my complexion was so luminous. The only downside of the Cellular Expert? The price which is not within the reach of all wallets: €280 per session.
The Cellular Expert is aimed at all skin types, and offers a real shot of hydration. Perfect for this winter period when the face feels tight under the harsh effects of the cold. For more information, go to the Maison Lutetia website.
