The treatment

What is Skims Rejuvenation

SKIMS Rejuvenation is an exclusive technique developed by Dr. José H. Effgen to treat overall skin laxity, deep wrinkles, photoaging, facial sagging, excess eyelid skin, fine "barcode" lines, enlarged pores and dark spots.

Applied across the whole face, SKIMS has an adjustable intensity for the needs of each region, providing a precise and effective treatment. The peeling phase lasts between 12 and 15 days, and the first results appear right after it.

The skin keeps evolving until it reaches its final result at 90 days, with visible, long-lasting rejuvenation. The procedure is done in a single session, with a possible touch-up in more advanced cases. The effect can last up to 5 years.
