Can skin treatments be combined?

Yes, combining treatments often gives better results. Polynucleotides repair and regenerate, Profhilo hydrates and adds glow, and microneedling smooths and refines. Together, they create comprehensive skin improvement.

Best Skin Treatments Before a Holiday

Q: Can I have treatments a few days before holiday?

Only light treatments, avoid anything aggressive. At this stage, focus on hydration and skin barrier support. Avoid treatments that cause peeling, redness, or inflammation.

If you want glowing, smooth, healthy skin for your holiday, timing your treatments properly is everything.

Why Timing Matters

Most advanced skin treatments don't give instant results.

They work by stimulating your body's natural processes:

Stimulating collagen production

Improving deep hydration

Repairing skin at a cellular level

This takes time:

Collagen production increases over weeks, not days
Skin regeneration cycles take around 28 days

This is why last-minute treatments rarely give the best results.
