Why skin ages,
and what you can do about it

Skin ageing has two sources. One comes from within and is determined by your genes, the other from the outside and is largely within your control. The two work together: intrinsic ageing sets the foundation, and extrinsic ageing amplifies and accelerates it. Once you understand the difference, you know exactly where a treatment and your home care step in.

From within

Intrinsic ageing

The natural, internal ageing process that happens over the years, regardless of how you live. The production of collagen and elastin declines and cell renewal slows. With less sebum, the skin also becomes drier.

  • Fine lines
  • Loss of firmness and resilience
  • Thinner, drier skin
  • Less natural moisture and glow

From the outside

Extrinsic ageing

Ageing accelerated by external, lifestyle-related factors: UV radiation, pollution, stress, air conditioning and stimulants such as alcohol and tobacco. Together they speed up the breakdown of collagen and the appearance of premature wrinkles. This ageing is largely avoidable, especially with daily protection.

  • Pigmentation and an uneven tone
  • Deeper wrinkles
  • Coarser texture and pores
  • Dull, tired complexion

The treatment

Meta Therapy works on your skin’s engine

Meta Therapy stands for Medical & Esthetical Tissue Activation Therapy. It uses a patented method to create millions of micro-perforations while delivering high concentrations of active ingredients deep into the skin. This activates exactly what declines with intrinsic ageing, and makes the skin receptive to your home care.

Collagen

For firmness and resilience

Elastin

For suppleness and tension

Hyaluronic acid

For moisture from within

Cell renewal

For a fresh, renewed skin

From treatment to home ritual

Which line supports what

The treatment restores from within, the Circle of 8 keeps that result on track at home. Each line is matched to a specific skin need.

Firmness and contour

Firming & Lifting

With lifting polymers, algae biotechnology and vitamin C. Improves facial contours, increases skin tension and restores visible definition to slackened skin.

Intrinsic

Renewal and glow

Cell Recovery

With stem cell extracts and powerful peptides. Stimulates deep repair and collagen renewal, and counters loss of firmness and reduced cell vitality.

Intrinsic & extrinsic

Moisture and comfort

Hydrating

With hyaluronic acid, humectants and NMF-boosting sugar complexes. Restores moisture, strengthens the skin barrier and brings back comfort and volume.

Intrinsic

Pigment and tone

Balancing

With natural brightening ingredients such as arbutin, licorice root and glutathione. Regulates melanocyte activity, calms redness and addresses pigmentation and an uneven tone.

Extrinsic

Texture and pores

Resurfacing

With the Pro-Renew Complex, niacinamide, peptides and mild AHAs. Softens a rough texture, minimises pores and speeds up cell renewal.

Extrinsic

Protection and prevention

Multi Defense SPF

The only product that prevents extrinsic ageing rather than repairing it. Daily, also indoors.

Prevention

The treatment restores from within, your daily ritual keeps the result on track, and SPF protects against the damage that would otherwise undo it.
