Cristal skin: Advanced technology for skin tightening

Cristal Skin is an aesthetic medicine treatment based on high-frequency electromagnetic waves applied to the skin. By diffusing heat into the dermis, it stimulates fibroblast activity—cells responsible for producing elastin and collagen. These essential proteins give the skin its firmness, elasticity, and suppleness.

The treatment enhances subcutaneous tissue resistance and improves overall skin quality. Cristal Skin’s multipolar radiofrequency technology ensures maximized results. Its adjustable frequency allows it to target both facial and body areas. This pain-free, comfortable treatment requires no downtime, making it convenient for patients.

As we age, elastin and collagen production decreases, causing the dermis to lose firmness and elasticity. This results in skin laxity, wrinkles, and sagging tissues. Cristal Skin is designed to lift contours and redefine the facial oval.

For the body, factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or dieting can stretch and weaken the skin, leading to laxity. Cristal Skin smooths irregular skin textures, especially in areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs.

A Cristal Skin session is performed at the clinic and includes the following steps :

1. Preparation :
   • A contact oil is applied to protect the skin.
   • One of three applicators is selected based on the treated area for targeted results using specific frequencies.
2. Application :
   • The applicator moves in circular and linear motions over the treatment area.
   • An infrared detector regularly monitors the applied temperature, which is maintained between 42°C and 45°C for several minutes.
3. Treatment Benefits :
   • The controlled heat deeply warms tissues without overheating the epidermis, avoiding burns or discomfort.
   • Electromagnetic waves stimulate collagen production while the applicators’ massaging action activates lymphatic drainage, enhancing the treatment’s effects.
4. Duration and Comfort :
   • Each session is painless, relaxing, and lasts 15 to 30 minutes per area.
   • You can resume regular activities immediately afterward.

While Cristal Skin is safe and well-tolerated, some conditions may temporarily contraindicate treatment :

• Keloid scars
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Irritated skin in the treatment area
• Skin diseases
• Pacemakers or other metal implants

Before starting the treatment, Dr. Aimé conducts a comprehensive evaluation of your skin and medical history. This ensures a customized protocol tailored to your needs and excludes any contraindications for optimal safety.

The effects of Cristal Skin on skin laxity become noticeable after approximately three sessions. For best results, a series of 6 to 10 sessions is recommended, spaced 10 to 15 days apart, depending on factors like the treated area, patient age, and skin condition.

Results include :

• Smoother, firmer, and visibly toned skin
• Enhanced skin density and elasticity
• Rejuvenated facial contours and silhouette

Long-Term Results :
With proper lifestyle habits—such as avoiding smoking, using sunscreen, and maintaining a stable weight—Cristal Skin results are long-lasting, helping you achieve a revitalized and youthful appearance.
