Meta Therapy is at the heart of every Dermatude treatment. It is a professional method that activates your skin's natural repair power, with visible and lasting results. In this article we explain what Meta Therapy is, how it works, which skin it suits and how to extend the effect at home.
What is Meta Therapy?
Meta Therapy stands for Medical & Esthetical Tissue Activation Therapy. It is a treatment that activates the skin with fine micro-stimuli. This activation triggers the skin's natural repair process, so the skin renews itself from within. Unlike surface care, Meta Therapy works at the level where skin ageing begins.
How does Meta Therapy work?
During a treatment, the specialist uses a controlled technique to create countless microscopic channels in the upper skin layers. The skin reads this as a signal to repair and responds by increasing its production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks that keep skin firm and supple. At the same time, active ingredients can be absorbed more deeply, making skincare more effective.
The result is skin that looks fresher, smoother and firmer, and that becomes more resilient to the signs of ageing over time.
Which skin and skin goals?
Meta Therapy is suitable for all skin types and ages. The treatment is tailored to your skin goal, with five product lines that each serve a distinct purpose:
- Hydrating for dry, sensitive skin that needs extra moisture.
- Balancing for combination to oily skin with impurities, redness or uneven tone.
- Cell Recovery for tired, dull or ageing skin that needs recovery.
- Firming & Lifting for mature skin that wants to regain firmness and definition.
- Resurfacing for an uneven skin texture, enlarged pores or oily skin.
What will you notice from a treatment?
Right after a treatment the skin may feel slightly flushed, as it does after mild exertion. This usually fades quickly. In the days and weeks that follow you will see the skin improve gradually: a more even tone, a smoother texture and more resilience. Because Meta Therapy stimulates natural repair, the result builds over several treatments.
The Circle of 8: home care that extends the result
Home care is a fixed part of the Meta Therapy protocol. The Circle of 8 is the daily ritual that extends and strengthens the result of your treatment. A few minutes a day keeps your skin in optimal condition between treatments. View the full Circle of 8 routine.
