What makes these treatments successful is that they target both the origin of wrinkles (loss of collagen, cellular slowing, sagging) and their visible appearance. Unlike injections which “freeze” the features, here the objective is to restart the skin’s internal mechanisms.
1. Micro-needling, without injecting but in depth
Despite its somewhat scary name, this treatment has nothing to do with injections. It uses an electric pen fitted with micro-needles which create micro-perforations invisible to the naked eye in the epidermis. These small “controlled injuries” trigger intense cellular regeneration. Result: boosted collagen production, faded wrinkles, refined skin texture.
No surgery, no injected product, but 100% natural stimulation. You may feel some tingling during the session, and a little redness afterwards. But the “rejuvenating effect” is often visible from the first week.
2. Radiofrequency for gentle firming
This treatment uses electromagnetic waves which heat the dermis in depth without attacking the epidermis. This heat stimulates fibroblasts, the famous cells that produce collagen and elastin. Over the course of the sessions, the skin tightens, as if plumped from the inside.
It is one of the favorite treatments for people in their forties, because it is completely painless, very relaxing, and gives progressive but lasting results. Count between 4 and 6 sessions spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart for a visible effect.
3. Kobido, anti-wrinkle massage from Japan
Want a 100% manual and ultra-sensory anti-wrinkle treatment? Kobido is an ancestral Japanese massage that combines percussion, pressure and tonic gestures on the entire face, neck and nape. The objective: to revive circulation, relieve tension, and above all, lift the features.
Some clients say it works as well as a facelift, without any intervention. It’s not miraculous, but it’s extremely pleasant, and the results are visible: oval of the face redesigned, wrinkles less marked, eyes more open.
4. Gentle peeling for skin like new
The peeling carried out in an institute is not the same as that in a dermatological office, which is stronger. Here, we are talking about peeling with fruit acids or based on natural enzymes. The objective? Exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin, eliminate dead cells, smooth fine lines and revive the radiance of the complexion.
It is a treatment particularly recommended for dull or thickened skin. You come out with a feeling of clear and fresh skin, and a visibly more even complexion.
5. LED photomodulation, light serving the dermis
It has been a hit for several years in spas and high-end institutes: the red LED light stimulates the production of collagen and calms skin inflammation. It is a completely painless treatment, without any direct contact with the skin. You just lie under a specific lamp for 15 to 30 minutes.
This treatment is ideal for those who have thin, reactive skin or skin marked by signs of fatigue. As a treatment, it restores tone, blurs expression lines and improves the overall quality of the skin.
FAQ – Anti-wrinkle treatments in institute without surgery
1. Are anti-wrinkle treatments in institutes really effective without injections?
Yes, certain salon treatments such as radiofrequency, micro-needling or LEDs naturally stimulate collagen production. The results are visible, especially during treatment, but remain progressive. The effect is not as immediate as an injection, but much more natural.
2. Do brands like LPG or Guinot offer these anti-wrinkle treatments?
Yes, brands like LPG with its Cellu M6 or Guinot with its Age Summum treatments offer non-invasive anti-aging protocols that are very popular in institutes. These brands are known for their devices and protocols focused on natural skin stimulation.
3. Can we do these anti-wrinkle treatments in institutes at any age?
Absolutely. These treatments are suitable from the first signs of aging (from 30 years old) to over 60 years old. Only the intensity and frequency of the sessions can vary depending on the condition of your skin and the advice of the beautician.
4. What is the average price of an anti-wrinkle treatment in an institute?
Prices vary depending on the technique used and the institute. On average, it costs between $60 and $120 per session. Complete cures (3 to 6 sessions) provide decreasing prices and more lasting results.
5. What is the difference between salon treatments and anti-wrinkle devices at home?
Home devices are generally less powerful than those used in the cabin. Institute treatments also combine the manual expertise of the beautician, an environment conducive to relaxation and professional devices not available to the general public.
