How to improve the results of invasive anti-age procedures: recommendations from Dr. Stefan Wetzel

Individual approach to each patient – the basic principle that allows the doctor to choose the most effective set of measures aimed at solving specific dermatological or cosmetic problems. Based on this fact, the specialists of the French laboratory Universkin have developed a unique system of personalized skin care. With its help, the doctor can create the most effective serum formula for each patient, based on the needs of his skin. In addition to solving problems such as acne, telangiectasia, hyperpigmentation, photoaging, etc., the Universkin system is also excellent for preparing the skin for invasive procedures and speeding up its recovery after such interventions.

Please tell us what workshops did you conduct at IMCAS 2018?

At IMCAS 2018, I conducted two master classes. The purpose of the first of them – training in the creation of serum formulas for individual patients, depending on the desired end result. This master class was intended for professionals who are just starting to work with the

Universkin brand, who are familiar with the information about the capabilities of this product and have the ingredients necessary for work in their arsenal. Our main task was to facilitate the daily practice of doctors by providing them with valuable recommendations on the use of Universkin serums. What kind of recommendations are we talking about?  

For example, when a doctor performs a correction with botulinum toxin preparations, he works with wrinkles in the forehead and crow's feet, but does not capture the periorbital area, where small wrinkles remain. You can smooth them out with cosmetics – Universkin formula, specially designed to eliminate fine lines.

For this we use the following ingredients: •    DMAE – provides a tightening effect;
•    Madecassocide stimulates the production of fibroblasts;  
•    vitamin B5 protects the very sensitive periorbital area.

Thus, the main purpose of this – improve the results obtained during the correction.

The goal of Universkin's personalized skin care system – improve the quality of the skin and, consequently, the results of aesthetic procedures.  

What was your second master class at IMCAS 2018 about?

The second master class was held for professionals. We took a closer look at the functions of the active ingredients of Universkin and their combinations, for example, for the treatment of deep melasma, the smoothing of deep wrinkles, the preparation of the skin for surgery and the acceleration of its regeneration after operations.

Joint work of plastic surgeons and cosmetologists – new trend. What are the benefits of collaborating with such professionals?

The value of cooperation between plastic surgeons and cosmetologists is due to the fact that in aesthetic medicine, dermatology and, of course, surgery, skin quality plays a decisive role. After all, when working with beautiful and healthy skin, the results of any procedures will be better. For example, if the skin condition is initially unsatisfactory, after injection correction with botulinum toxin preparations or fillers, it will remain unchanged.

Because the task of Universkin – improve skin quality and help clinicians achieve the best possible outcomes for their patients. I repeat very often that Universkin – products for doctors who love and value their patients.

Universkin– products for doctors who love and value their patients.

Which Universkin formula do you most often use in your practice?

Of course, it depends on the end goal, on what problem needs to be fixed. For example, to prepare the face for a facelift, we use Madecassocide (2%) and isoflavones as active ingredients. This combination allows the skin to be properly prepared for the invasive procedure.

To demonstrate to surgeons the initial condition of the skin and the results of using Universkin, we take before and after photos. We then ask doctors which skin they would prefer to have the invasive procedure done on. Their answer is obvious and unanimous – of course, on the skin with the "after" photo. As specialists are well aware that it is the competent combination of cosmetics and surgical procedures that provides the best results for the patient.
