List of facial treatments that invigorate your appearance
At the Skin Boutique clinics in Porto, Lisbon and Cascais, you’ll find minimally invasive, safe facial treatments that don’t require any recovery time. Discover the benefits of each one:
1. botulinum toxin (Botox®)
Botulinum toxin, known as
- Hyperhidrosis(excessive sweating);
- Gummy smile;
- Bruxism.
How does it work?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein with a relaxing effect. When injected into strategic locations, it temporarily reduces the activity of the muscles responsible for facial expressions and thus smoothes expression lines and wrinkles.
2. Filling with Hyaluronic Acid
This facial treatment restores levels of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the body, which provides a natural younger, healthier-looking skin. What’s more:
- Reduces sagging;
- Recover the volume;
- Redefines the contour of the face;
- Prevents expression wrinkles (“Chinese moustache“, “marionette lines”, “bar code”);
- Improves skin hydration and elasticity.
How does it work?
Hyaluronic acid is applied to the skin using micro-injections. The substance helps to fix water molecules that improve hydration and add volume to the treated area.
3. Collagen biostimulators
The 3 most commonly used types of biostimulants are Calcium Hydroxyapatite, Polylactic Acid and Polycaprolactone, better known by their trade names: Radiesse, Lanluma and Ellansé, respectively. These, depending on the concentration and number of sessions, can give some volume in the same way as hyaluronic acid.
How does it work?
Collagen biostimulators are injected into the skin, triggering an inflammatory reaction that stimulates collagen production and generates a rejuvenating effect on the skin.
4. Exosomes
Exosomes contain repairing and regenerating properties and are therefore a recommended facial treatment for improving the overall appearance of the skin. This procedure:
- Improves firmness and hydration;
- Combats signs of ageing;
- It evens out skin tone and gives a natural glow;
- It can be applied to various areas of the body, such as the vulvar region.
How does it work?
Exosomes are vesicles produced naturally by our body’s cells and they are applied using microneedling, a procedure that enhances their absorption and effectiveness.
5. Microneedling
If your goal is to eliminate facial scars and reduce enlarged pores, microneedling is the most suitable aesthetic solution. This technique can be combined with taking vitamins, subject to a doctor’s prescription, and allows you to achieve:
- Improved overall skin quality;
- Reduced pores;
- Softer spots and wrinkles;
- Improved scarring.
How does it work?
During this minimally invasive procedure, the Skin Boutique doctors place a device with micro-needles on the surface of the skin to cause minor trauma. This impact increases collagen production and generates a rejuvenating effect with long-lasting results.
At Skin Boutique, you’ll find personalized facial treatments for different objectives, but they all share a common goal: to make your skin healthy, beautiful and cared for. Make an appointment for an assessment with one of our doctors and discover the perfect protocol for your face.
