This article is a translation of the original French article “Réparer sa barrière cutanée après les excès des fêtes” and is intended for the French market. Treatments, availability and prices may differ at our London clinic.
Why do festive excesses weaken the skin?
Alcohol, rich meals, sugar, lack of sleep and a disrupted routine have a direct impact on the skin. These excesses lead to:
- Increased skin dehydration
- Increased inflammation
- Slower cell renewal
- Impairment of the hydrolipidic film
Alcohol, for example, is a powerful diuretic: it promotes water loss, including from the skin. The result? The skin barrier becomes more permeable, letting water evaporate and external aggressors penetrate more easily.
The key role of the skin barrier
The skin barrier acts as a protective shield. It:
- Maintains skin hydration
- Protects against bacteria, pollutants and irritants
- Preserves skin suppleness and elasticity
When it is damaged, the skin becomes uncomfortable and reactive, and more prone to blemishes and premature ageing. Restoring this barrier is therefore a priority after a period of excess.
Mesotherapy: a powerful ally for restoring the skin barrier
Mesotherapy is a treatment of choice for repairing the skin in depth after the festive season. This technique involves injecting a cocktail of highly concentrated actives directly into the dermis, exactly where the skin really needs them.
H3 The key actives in mesotherapy
The mesotherapy formulas used at Innerskin are rich in:
- Hyaluronic acid: intensely hydrates, plumps and restores the hydric film
- Vitamins (A, C, E): as antioxidants, they combat the oxidative stress caused by excesses
- Minerals and trace elements: essential for proper cell function
- Amino acids: contribute to skin regeneration and repair
Why is mesotherapy so effective?
By acting directly at the heart of the skin, mesotherapy:
- Rehydrates intensely and lastingly
- Stimulates cell regeneration
- Strengthens the skin barrier
- Restores radiance, suppleness and comfort
It is a genuine skin reset after the aggressions of the festive season, like a course of food supplements but more effective, because it is delivered directly to the skin.
Protocol: 3 to 6 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart.
Prolonging the benefits at home with Innerskin's Hydrating H.A. Complex Serum
