How to 'train' your skin? 5 steps to beautiful complexion
Training is usually associated solely with muscles, and perhaps with weight loss. But what if I told you that you can also "train" the condition of your skin? Here are 5 steps that will help your skin improve its condition and "shed" a few years.
Drinking water - seemingly trivial, but not many people remember about it. It is incredibly important for all organs of our body, especially for the skin, which ages faster when poorly hydrated. Dehydrated skin becomes less elastic, wrinkles appear more quickly, and is also much more susceptible to various types of damage. Of course, a proper diet is also very important.
Skin cells "renew" themselves every 28 days. So what happens to old cells? They exfoliate, of course. Did you know that we can shed up to 4.5 kg of tissue through exfoliation each year?! Incredible, isn't it? However, in today's living conditions (pollution, fast-paced life, makeup), the skin often doesn't manage this process as well as it should. Dead skin cells also create a barrier that makes the skin breathe poorly and blocks the penetration of active substances from cosmetics. That's why specialists recommend getting rid of old skin. According to our experts, the best way to exfoliate the skin is through acid treatments. Properly selected acid treatments by a cosmetologist will give the skin a glow, make it feel younger, and allow active cosmetic ingredients to penetrate deeper, making them more effective. The best acid treatments recommended by us are available here.
Our body is amazing, and its regenerative abilities allow it to deal with significant problems. When these processes are properly stimulated, the skin's tension increases by producing new collagen and elastin fibers, wrinkles become shallower, and the skin tone becomes more even. The most effective methods on the market for this purpose are ablative and non-ablative lasers. Proper selection and execution of a laser treatment guarantee the best results, so it's worth entrusting your skin to professional hands.
Nourish the skin both from the inside and outside. Well-chosen cosmetics that provide skin-supporting ingredients are essential for skin care. It's good to use treatments that allow active ingredients to reach deeper and care for the skin more intensively. There are various ways to do this. One of the most effective ways to deliver active ingredients to deeper skin layers is through microneedling. This procedure involves injecting appropriate preparations directly into the areas that need it. Another way to reach deeper skin layers is through treatments with iontophoresis, which uses electric field forces to allow active substances to penetrate through superficial skin layers. Of course, the proper selection of the treatment should be left to a trusted specialist.
Sunlight or cold can significantly negatively affect our skin, but we also have the opportunity to defend ourselves against them. The latest research shows that UV rays are extremely harmful to the health of our skin and should be avoided as much as possible. Cold weather, on the other hand, dries out the skin and causes problems with blood vessels (bursting). It's long been known that it's easier to prevent problems than to treat them, so avoiding these factors and protecting yourself from them will help you avoid unpleasant consequences.

Platelet-rich plasma mesotherapy + volume restoration with plasma gel
CGF Harmony is an advanced regenerative treatment combining the action of platelet-rich plasma with autologous albumin gel (Activated Plasma Albumin Gel), obtained from the patient's blood proteins. The therapy allows for intensive skin stimulation and subtle facial contouring – using completely natural material, without the use of synthetic fillers.
The treatment combines needle mesotherapy with volumetry, restoring volume in strategic areas of the face. By utilizing the CGF Harmony set, the doctor obtains two fractions: a liquid one with stem cells and growth factors, and a gel one that serves as a biological filler. This approach blurs the lines between aesthetic and regenerative medicine, acting not only on the surface but also deeply rebuilding the skin structure.
Who is the treatment intended for?
- for individuals with flaccid, thin, and dehydrated facial skin,
- with visible wrinkles and furrows (e.g., nasolabial, marionette lines),
- for natural facial contouring,
- for skin in need of intensive regeneration, nourishment, and improved firmness,
- as an alternative to synthetic fillers, for patients who appreciate autologous solutions,
- for significant volume loss e.g., in the cheek area, temples, tear troughs.
How does CGF Harmony work?
Two active fractions are obtained from the patient's blood:
- Platelet-rich plasma with growth factors and stem cells, which biostimulates the skin – promoting skin regeneration, increasing collagen and elastin production, and improving microcirculation.
- Autologous albumin gel (Activated Plasma Albumin Gel) – acts as a natural filler, providing volumetric effects and restoring volume in selected areas of the face. Its structure ensures prolonged release of growth factors, intensifying and prolonging the regeneration effect.
The combination of both formulas achieves both skin rejuvenation and subtle lifting effects.
Effects of CGF Harmony treatment:
- Visible rejuvenation of facial skin – skin becomes fresher, more radiant, and noticeably rested after the first treatment.
- Increased firmness, elasticity, and flexibility – skin tightening due to fibroblast activation and collagen and elastin production.
- Smoothing of wrinkles and furrows – significant reduction in mimic lines, nasolabial grooves, and gravitational wrinkles.
- Natural facial volume restoration – restoring a youthful facial contour with a gentle volumetric effect, without the artificial "filling" effect.
- Tissue lifting and facial contour improvement – the gel acts as a natural scaffold, supporting the skin structure and gently lifting sagging areas.
- Strong skin regeneration and biostimulation – improving microcirculation, oxygenation, and nourishment of the skin at a cellular level.
- Densification and thickening of thin and flaccid skin – especially in challenging areas such as lower eyelids, temples, or the back of hands.
- Evening out skin tone and brightening complexion – reducing dullness, discoloration, and signs of fatigue, resulting in radiant skin.
- Delaying aging processes – skin cell activation slows down signs of aging and improves long-term skin condition.
- Comprehensive "natural lifting" effect – skin appears younger without an exaggerated effect, making this treatment ideal for individuals valuing subtlety and facial harmony.
Treatment frequency
- A recommended series consists of 3 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart, depending on skin condition and desired results.
- To maintain treatment effects, a touch-up treatment every 6-12 months is recommended.
Why choose CGF Harmony?
CGF Harmony is a treatment for those expecting natural, effective, and safe skin rejuvenation methods – without surgical intervention or the use of artificial products. It combines mesotherapy, biostimulation, and gentle volumetry into one, using only material derived from the patient's body.
Thanks to the synergy of plasma and albumin gel, the effects are visible, long-lasting, and in line with skin physiology – a modern, biological alternative to traditional aesthetic procedures.
Clear Lift facial laser lifting is a modern, fractional, non-ablative method of rejuvenating the skin, known as 4D lifting because it works on different levels of the skin - from the epidermis to the deep layers of the dermis. By using the technology of the non-ablative Q-Switch Nd:YAG laser, the treatment does not damage the skin's surface, which means no pain or recovery period. It is a gentler alternative to traditional ablative lasers, while still providing effective rejuvenation, firming, and improvement in skin quality.
How does Clear Lift laser lifting work?
- It works at different depths of the skin - stimulating collagen and elastin from superficial layers to deep skin structures.
- The fractional but non-ablative nature of the treatment means that the laser creates micro-damage in the skin without affecting its surface, activating natural repair processes.
- Precisely breaks down accumulated pigment particles, allowing for effective reduction of both superficial and deep discolorations, such as melasma or sunspots.
- Stimulates fibroblasts to intensely produce collagen, leading to improved skin density and firmness, smoothing wrinkles, and lifting the facial contour.
Effects of Clear Lift laser lifting
- Visible improvement in facial contour and skin firmness - the skin becomes more taut, resilient, and elastic.
- Smoothing of fine lines and reduction of wrinkles - shallowing both superficial and deeper wrinkles on the face, neck, and décolleté.
- Pore tightening and skin texture smoothing - ideal for individuals with enlarged pores and uneven skin texture.
- Reduction of discolorations and even skin tone - effective combat against melasma, pigmented spots, and acne remnants.
- Revitalization and brightening of the skin - giving the skin a healthy, youthful glow.
- Reduction of scars and improvement in skin texture - excellent for skin with acne scars and other imperfections.
- Rejuvenation of thin and delicate skin around the eyes - perfect solution for individuals with sagging skin under the eyes and drooping eyelids.
Who is this treatment for?
- Individuals seeking effective skin rejuvenation without aggressive methods.
- Individuals with visible signs of aging, skin sagging, and loss of firmness.
- Individuals with hormonal, sun-induced discolorations, and uneven skin tone.
- Individuals who want to improve the quality of skin around the eyes without invasive treatments.

Thanks to its fractional and non-ablative technology, Clear Lift 4D is an excellent method for individuals who want to quickly and effectively improve the appearance of their skin without the risk of complications and long healing.
Treatment Frequency
- The best results are achieved after a series of 3-5 treatments performed at intervals of 2-4 weeks.
- The first effects are visible after one session, while full skin regeneration and rebuilding occur over several months after completing the series.
Ablative skin resurfacing for visible rejuvenation
iPixel is an advanced laser treatment using fractional ablative laser that works by controlled vaporization (ablation) of the epidermis and upper layers of the dermis. iPixel intensely exfoliates the skin while stimulating deep restructuring. As a result, the skin becomes more tightened, smoothed, and even, with wrinkles, scars, and imperfections significantly reduced.
How does iPixel work?
iPixel utilizes fractional technology, creating micro-damage in the skin in the form of a grid of laser microbeams, initiating an intense regeneration process. As a result, the treatment:
- Strongly exfoliates and renews the epidermis - the skin becomes smoother, brighter, and more even.
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production - improves skin tightness and elasticity, ensuring long-lasting rejuvenation effect.
- Contours the facial oval - the skin becomes firmer, and facial contours are more defined.
- Effectively reduces scars and wrinkles - the ablative action better reduces acne scars and deeper creases compared to non-ablative lasers.
Compared to other fractional lasers, iPixel works intensively on the skin's surface and deeper layers, accelerating regeneration and enhancing the smoothing effect. The treatment combines the benefits of deep laser peeling with stimulating natural skin rebuilding processes.
iPixel treatment effects:
- Immediate skin firming and densifying
- Reduction of wrinkles - both fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Reduced pore size and improved skin texture
- Even skin tone and elimination of discoloration
- Diminished acne, burn, and surgical scars
- Healthy glow and skin smoothing after the first treatment
Who is iPixel suitable for?
The treatment is ideal for individuals who want to:
- Reduce visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and loss of firmness.
- Improve skin texture, tighten pores, and smooth the skin surface.
- Diminish discoloration and even out skin tone.
- Reduce acne, burn, and other skin imperfections.
iPixel is an excellent choice for individuals seeking a strong yet safe rejuvenation effect that does not require a long recovery period. Thanks to advanced technology, the treatment allows for visibly younger, smoother, and tighter skin in a relatively short time.
Enhancing the effects of skincare treatments
Iontophoresis is an excellent addition to many skincare treatments, allowing for deeper penetration of active substances into the skin using galvanic current. This enables nourishing, moisturizing, or regenerating ingredients to act more intensively and lastingly, enhancing the effects of the primary treatment.
Why add iontophoresis to a treatment?
- Enhances skincare effectiveness - active ingredients penetrate deeper, boosting nourishing, regenerating, and moisturizing effects.
- Improves skin microcirculation and oxygenation - gentle galvanic impulses stimulate the skin, supporting its metabolism and regeneration.
- Has anti-inflammatory and soothing effects - helps reduce redness, irritation, and supports skin regeneration processes.
- Supports the rebuilding of the skin's protective barrier - iontophoresis helps strengthen the skin's structure, improving its resistance to external factors.
- Enhances skin hydration and elasticity - galvanic current facilitates the absorption of moisturizing substances, improving the skin's hydration levels.
Iontophoresis can be used as an addition to moisturizing, nourishing, anti-aging, or regenerating treatments, enhancing their effectiveness and supporting skin renewal processes. It is an ideal solution for individuals who want to maximize the effects of skincare and provide deep action of active ingredients to the skin.
