Well-balanced volumes are one of the keys to a youthful-looking face.  With age, repeated dieting etc., the dermis and adipose tissue – which form the skin’s “support system” – become thinner and their architecture is disorganized.  The cheeks hollow out, facial features seem to slacken and wrinkles deepen.  To restore youthful volumes to the face, the surgical response is lipofilling, a technique based on a simple principle:  taking fat from the body, then reinjecting it into the area of the face in need of volume correction.

Other factors must also be taken into consideration, as the skin’s needs are controlled by a specific biological clock.  Research in chronobiology has demonstrated several natural processes and skin modifications related to the alternation of day and night.  In the epidermis, microcirculation slows during the day between 12 noon and 4 p.m., while it reaches its height towards 11 p.m.  The skin attains its maximum renewal between midnight and 4 a.m.  This is the moment when cells are most receptive and when cellular regeneration is at its peak.  Certain skin cells divide in half at this time and migrate to the surface to repair and correct the effects of “attacks” that occurred during the day.  This is why it is important to choose a skincare cream adapted to the moment of the circadian cycle (day/night alternation) when it is applied.

During the day, in addition to “volume correction” action, we will choose a skincare cream with “lifting”, protective and moisturizing properties, capable of helping the skin to combat cellular oxidation linked to harsh environmental factors, such as pollution, UV rays and stress.
At night, in addition to “volume correction” action, we will opt for a skincare cream capable of reinforcing the skin’s own efforts to repair and correct the “damage” caused during the day.
