Introducing Guinot Visible Age Reverse

Non-invasive 30 minute facial

Instant visible results achieved after just one treatment

World exclusive revolutionary treatment

Created and developed by Dr. JDM, this revolutionary aesthetic innovation makes it possible to make the skin visibly younger in 30 minutes thanks to its expert protocol:

Stimulation of epidermal regeneration by the Age Influx concentrate.
Smoothing of the skin by the Vibrolissante electrode
Equalisation of the dermis by frequency diffusion via the Vibrodermie electrode

These three essential steps that allow to visibly and durably fight the signs of skin ageing.

How many treatments are recommended?

We recommend having an initial course of Guinot's Visible Age Reverse to optimise results - 1 treatment per week for 4 Weeks. To maintain the results, you continue having a Visible Age Reverse treatment once a month.

You can repeat the course every 3-4 months if you wish to. It's especially good for seasonal change.

Between courses and maintenance continue with other Guinot Treatments to meet concerns as discovered during your consultation.

Am I suitable for Visible Age Reverse?

Guinot's Visible Age Reverse facial is for all skin types and all ages, however you will see the most noticeable results if you already have anti-ageing concerns such as lines, wrinkles and lack of tone. If you are considering aesthetic procedures and/or you already have Botox, this treatment will still work wonders on you!

Unfortunately, you are not suitable for Guinot's Visible Age Reverse if you have any of the following:

Highly sensitive/ reactive/ couperose skins
Diabetes – check tactile sensation
Thrombosis/ Varicose Veins
Pacemakers, metal pins, plates and screws in the area
Epilepsy
Pregnancy – 1st trimester (thereafter, GP referral and check sensitivity levels)
Have had facial laser hair removal within the last 4 weeks before Visible Age Reverse
Have had botox within the last 2 weeks before Visible age Reverse

Clients with Botox CAN have this treatment after 2 weeks. The Visible Age Reverse won’t move the muscles but will help to reconnect and activate the nerve endings whilst improving blood flow to the area where the muscle has been paralysed.

HYDRADERMIE FACIAL TREATMENTS

In 1972, Guinot first offered Hydradermie, the first exclusive beauty treatment method for the skin. For the first time, an ionisation process had improved the penetration of skincare products, providing exceptional results and satisfying clients' beauty objectives. Since then Guinot's facials have taken advantage of the latest scientific discoveries to offer real alternatives to cosmetic surgery.

Hydradermie Youth

With age, skin cells just aren't as active. When cells lack energy, they reproduce more slowly, the synthesis of elastic fibres slows, and the first signs of ageing appear. This patented treatment will rejuvenate the skin's appearance by restoring the cellular energy of younger skin. The unique ionisation process enables rapid absorption of the active ingredients for exceptional effectiveness. Your treatment will end with a relaxing massage that leaves the face rested and the skin luminous. Hailed as Guinot's 'Star Treatment', we offer 8 bespoke variations to deal with a variety of concerns including our Hydradermie Youth Newhite treatment focusing on pigmentation, brown spots and uneven skin tone.

Hydradermie Age Logic

Clinically proven to reduce wrinkle depth by up to 49.5%, this specially designed anti-ageing Hydradermie facial puts extra focus on the eye contours, neck and décolleté for an all-compassing age defying result. Available in 8 bespoke variations prescribed by your therapist to suit your skin type and beauty concerns allowing you to achieve exceptional, visible and clinically proven results.

Hydradermie Lift

When we age, the muscles are used less, the skin loses tone, and the facial contours lose definition. The Hydradermie Lift treatment acts deep in the skin, lifting and refining the facial features via stimulation of the facial muscles and anti-ageing drainage. A low frequency micro current is used to produce a toning action and invigorate the muscle fibres for a more youthful complexion. Your treatment ends with a relaxing massage, releasing precious active ingredients that tone the skin.

Struggling to fit a facial into your schedule? No worries. Try our Hydradermie Lift Express, a shortened version of the Hydradermie Lift.

Or maybe you have got some time to spare and want to see dramatic changes in your skin? We've got you covered. Try our Hydradermie Lift Deluxe.

Hydradermie Eye Lift

Signs of ageing and fatigue appear around the eye contour area: sagging eyelids, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles. The Eye Lift treatment reduces signs of ageing and fatigue with an exclusive method: muscle stimulation around the eye contour area.

The treatment begins with a draining massage that boosts the microcirculation, which reduces dark circles and puffiness. The stimulation targets the eye contour area, which instantly rejuvenates the appearance of the eyes and lifts the features. The eyelids are toned and lifted, the wrinkles are reduced, and puffiness and dark circles are less visible.

Finally, Masque Yeux Age Logic is applied, dispatching precious anti-ageing active ingredients as close as possible to cells.

Hydraclean

The Hydraclean treatment is the only deep cleansing treatment that acts simultaneously on both sweat and sebaceous glands. The Thermoclean heating electrode diffuses gentle heat that rids the skin of toxins and excess sebum. At the end you'll have a relaxing massage that favours drainage and helps normalise the subcutaneous micro-circulation, relaxing the face and restoring radiance to the complexion.

Pressed for time? No problem. Try out Hydraclean Express, a shortened version of the Hydraclean treatment.

MANUAL FACIAL TREATMENTS

Age Summum

This is the pinnacle of anti-ageing treatments, it's enriched with highly concentarted Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid and Pro-Collagen to firm facial tissue and combat skin slackening.

Age Summum begins with the application of Gommage Dermabraison; this exfoliant process, with active microparticles, rids the skin of dead cells and lets new cells appear. From the first step of the treatment,the skin already looks more youthful and lines are smoother. In your therapist's expert hands, the skin absorbs Age Summum, a regenerating serum containing 56 Cellular Ingredients of the Cellular Life Complex and a high concentration of pure Vitamin C. The unique components are used in hospitals to help regenerate new skin by effectively boosting cell activity and restoring life to the skin. The treatment continues with an Anti-Ageing Massage consisting of 15 exclusive movements and application of the Sérum Age Summum, enriched with Hyaluronic Acid. It concludes with the application of a radiance anti-ageing mask with Pro-Collagen.

Lift Summum

The Lift Summum treatment is a lifting treatment that smooths and firms any areas affected by loss of firmness: the face, neck and décolleté. It combines expert manoeuvres with high-performance active firming ingredients, ensuring an instant and visible lifting effect. It uses a non-invasive method to smooth the skin: the Anti-Wrinkle Filler. Finally, at the end of the treatment, 2 masks are applied: one tissue mask for the face and a cream mask for the décolleté. Their unique formulas contain firming and anti-wrinkle active ingredients that smooth the skin.

Hydra Peeling

Guinot created the Hydra Peeling treatment to reduce signs of ageing, improve the complexion, and reduce dark spots. This treatment is a bona fide alternative to aesthetic medicine, offering visible results and restoring radiance after just one treatment.

Two protocols are available for the Hydra Peeling Treatment which your therapist will decide for you:

Hydra PH Peeling: exfoliates deep in the skin to reduce signs of ageing and dark spots and brighten the complexion.
Hydrabrasion Peeling: rids the skin of dead cells on the skin's surface and restores radiance to the complexion. This is more suited for sensitive skin.

After the peel phase, your therapist will carry out a regenerating massage to relax the face and boost cell renewal. The result? Skin that looks brand new!

The treatment ends with the Hydra Beauté Mask, a soothing, refreshing peel-off mask that literally peels right off.

DétOxygène

All skins can be asphyxiated... and not just in the city!

In fact, our environment plays an important role (exhaust fumes, tobacco smoke, industrial pollution, dust and confined atmospheres...), just like our lifestyle that causes our skin to produce toxins in greater quantities (unhealthy diet, lack of sleep...). Consequences? The skin is dull, tired, blurred and it lacks vitality which leaves room for imperfections.

The DétOxyène treatment reoxygenates the skin, removing toxins and pollution. It includes an exfoliation, detoxifying mask, massage and reoxygenating serum to restore radiance and luminosity in the skin.

Équilibre Pureté

There are many reasons for your skin to be imbalanced: hormonal changes, diet, stress, environmental pollution or smoking. All of these factors can lead to: increased sebum, enlarged pores, black comedones and a rash appearing on your skin.

The équilibre pureté treatment is Guinot's newest facial designed for cleansing and rebalancing the skin, reducing imperfections, eliminating shine and improving complexion.

The 4 care secrets to this treatment are a heating exfoliator, purifying mask, blackhead extraction and Guinot's acnilogic cream serum.

This treatment is is recommended for all types of combination and oily skin with an intensive course having dramatic results. It's also recommended as a periodical treatment for all clients who experience temporary contact with any of the above skin problems due to stress or seasonal changes.
