4DS Method – an integrated approach to the restoration, support and elimination of cosmetic skin imperfections 

The pride of the company is the unique 4DS method, formed by the interaction of medical science with cosmetology. The method offers a comprehensive approach to restore and maintain the normal physiology of the skin and eliminate cosmetic imperfections based on an individually tailored course of weekly treatments in the specialist's office.

The 4DS Method by Dermophisiologique — it is a patented and unique method in the market of professional cosmetology: it offers protocols of procedures capable of taking care of any cosmetic defect and any type of skin in a physiological way.

The 4DS Method by Dermophisiologique — it is a patented and unique method on the professional cosmetology market: it offers treatment protocols capable of physiologically taking care of any cosmetic defect and any type of skin with a sequence of application in 4 working steps:

1)         CHECK-UP The purpose of the first stage – identify the type of imperfection and get to know the client and his/her skin type in order to personalize the treatment and thus ensure its effectiveness. Diagnosis allows you to identify needs or problems, and then purposefully and specifically apply the means. A diagnostic examination is carried out by a cosmetologist according to those indicators that & nbsp; indicated  in the

diagnostic card, which also includes an instrumental study of the physiological data of the skin, such as: sebometry, moisture level, pH, temperature. After the diagnosis is made, the treatment sequence is established using special therapy programming cards. The specialist must have basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology, skin type characteristics and problems (skin diseases). Also, the cosmetologist must have the basic concepts of the basics of cosmetology, must determine the type of skin, as well as its phototype. After determining the type of skin (eg dry, sensitive, oily...) a sequence of targeted procedures, the so-called PHYSIOLOGICAL PHASES of skin stimulation, is determined.

Average duration of therapy: 8/10 (face/body) weeks (two/one treatment per week, then once per week). The most effective way to carry out  it is course, cyclical procedures to achieve long-term results.

Creating a treatment program - personalization

A specialist working at Dermophisiologique cosmeceuticals creates a clear individualized treatment program to address the true cause of the problem, not its symptoms.

 

 

Personalization of programs

is taught as part of the introductory training course and carried out using special patient cards. For each case, there are different programs depending on the age group of the client: this is fundamentally important, since the same defect - in the same problem - differs depending on the age. For example: acne at the age of 20 has characteristics that are different from those that  the same person at 40 years old, and which will still differ from the characteristics  50 years old. Each imperfection provides three different programs, one for each age group: 1 age group from 18 to 30 years old, 2 age group from 30 to 55 years old, 3 age group from 55 years old. Then, during the year, an individual scheme of care for the client is selected; intensive stages for 2 months alternate with stages of maintenance therapy, the defect is eliminated, after which it is possible to avoid relapses or "return" to the point of departure, and the work of the center's specialist is planned for one year. The  treatment and home care protocols have been developed by examining individual needs and addressing them in multiple ways, creating important case studies that allow us to guarantee results and effectiveness when applied correctly.

Assignment of home care
Medications for daily care of problematic skin are specifically indicated in the scheme of application and are entered in the patient's record. Preparations are selected individually, & nbsp; season and personal preference. The beautician will evaluate the most suitable products at the moment thanks to the parameters assessed during the diagnostic phase.

The ideal self-care regimen includes:

- For the face: cleansing,  targeted serum / cream / eye contour & balneotherapy

- For the body: balneotherapy, targeted body product, supplements in capsules and herbal teas.

Pricing for products of the Italian brand Dermophisiologique 

Home use products belong to

premium products – Luxury,

and it is necessary to communicate to the customer that the price of the products is high compared to other brands because:

Products dermatologically tested.

• All production plants certified.
• The products are absolutely not harmful to the body.
• Ingredients are the best on the market, next generation and European origin.
• Products do not lie on the surface of the skin, but penetrate deep (due to the small size of the molecule and the presence of transport systems). The exceptions are those products that must act on the surface of the skin (moisturizers/sunscreens). Thus, the results are very visible and tangible.
• The formulas are the result of high technology.

Skin treatment programs using Dermophisiologique 

Treatment programs are a sequence of treatments for a specific category, which is determined by the type and condition of the skin, as well as possible diseases.

Each program provides for several stages of the course of procedures, and they are designed taking into account the physiological functions of skin cells.

Physiological Function

– manifestation of the vital activity of the organism and its parts, which have an adaptive value and are aimed at achieving a useful result. The function is based on the exchange of substances, energy and information.

Homeostasis

– the relative dynamic constancy of the internal environment and the stability of the physiological functions of the body. The main mechanism for maintaining homeostasis is self-regulation.  It is the maintenance of homeostasis that is an essential condition for a healthy organism. Each program provides for several stages of the course of procedures, and they are designed taking into account the physiological functions of skin cells.

What is constant is

the chemical composition of the skin

carbon;

• hydrogen;
• nitrogen;
• oxygen;
• sulphur;
• phosphorus.
These elements are used to build proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Skin is 69-73% water:

in the epidermis – 10%;

• in the basal layer – 71–72%;
• in the reticular layer – 61%.

The constancy of the ionic composition and pH of body fluids

is a necessary condition for the normal functioning of cells:  - cations are:  Na, K, Ca, Mg;

 - anions are: chloride and phosphate.

The body maintains this constant, and when an imbalance occurs, skin diseases occur. Maintaining the balance of the cation-anion composition ensures active transport and passive diffusion of skin cells – this is a very important aspect for the penetration and assimilation of the ingredients in the composition of cosmetics. And it depends on how deeply the drug will work: either it will remain on the surface of the epidermis, or it will have a dermal effect.

All procedures are performed in stages. If you depict it schematically, then the entire cycle of procedures will look like this:

The first step

at the very beginning of the course of treatments is a skin cleansing treatment with the Carbon Mask, characterized by an exclusive and balanced composition based on natural active ingredients for cleansing and smoothing the skin. Active charcoal granules, which give the mask its characteristic gray color when massaged on the face, deeply cleanse by trapping skin impurities such as sebum, microorganisms and naturally occurring toxins. The cleansing action of the skin is accompanied by a delicate exfoliation with olive pit powder, which & nbsp; mechanically removes dead cells, promoting skin regeneration.

The second step

is the procedure DERMOMAGNETIC® [3in1] ECOgreen – original since 1975. This is a patented procedure consisting of a cream-iron mask, a magnet and a special tonic: the combined and synergistic action of these components allows you to effectively cleanse the epidermis both superficially and deeply, as well as effectively and immediately tone up, thanks to magnetic stimulation.

Cosmetology as an art of healing: brands that meet the criterion

The third step

is the Osmoderm Salt procedure – a procedure for restoring cell metabolism by restoring osmosis caused by salts. The goal of the Osmoderm line is to stimulate, rebalance and reactivate the physiology of the human body using active ingredients from the sea. For humans, the sea has always been a vital factor in health, beauty and well-being due to the similarity between the composition of the human body and marine life (water, algae, sedimentary salts). The Osmoderm line energetically balances tissues: it can balance static tissues in which new energy is needed, awakening the metabolism, as in the case of cellulite, obesity, atony, aging; or "accelerated" tissues, hyperdynamic, as in the case of irritations, flaking, seborrhea and other situations in which the skin is overactive. When in contact with the skin, the main function of ocean salts is related to cellular metabolism: due to the presence of certain concentrations of minerals, in particular sodium, potassium and magnesium, salts regulate ion exchange, stimulating various systems such as osmosis and membrane transport. Sodium and potassium are minerals that work together to regulate the exchange between cells and remove waste materials from the extracellular environment. An imbalance between their concentrations, and in particular an increase in sodium levels, contributes to the retention of fluids in the interstitial space.

Sodium and potassium are minerals that work together to regulate the exchange between cells and remove waste materials from the extracellular environment. An imbalance between their concentrations, and in particular an increase in sodium levels, contributes to the retention of fluids in the interstitial space.

Sea salts, rich in potassium, balance the action of sodium, enhancing osmotic exchange and stimulating the activation of passive and active membrane transport. The presence of magnesium also has a decongestant and anti-inflammatory effect, which is very useful in the edematous phase of cellulite, in which there is a state of intoxication and stagnation of the dermis and hypodermis. The ocean salt of the ocean sea is formed as a result of the process of slow evaporation of water: thus, all the minerals and trace elements present in it are concentrated, responsible for the biological benefits for the skin and the whole organism. Unlike the "normal" sea ​​salt, which is dominated by sodium chloride (85%), which is an aggressive component for the skin and can cause irritation, dryness and itching, in ocean salt, sodium is present in very small amounts, while the amount of magnesium and potassium is higher, with a significant presence of copper, zinc and other trace elements necessary for cellular metabolism. Microscopic salt powder molecules with a particle size of less than 10 microns are very light, which allows them to easily penetrate the skin and interact with its cells.

The fourth step is the Thermofango procedure. The procedure restores microcirculation and oxygenates tissues. Provides protected vasodilation and therefore controlled heat, an important hyperemic action that stimulates microcirculation, without any irritation and therefore without troubles such as itching. The heat generated by the Capsicum pepper extract is controlled by soothing and capillary-protective phytoextracts such as: azulene, calendula, aloe and needles, vitamin E, as well as highly moisturizing active ingredients such as panthenol and saccharide isomerate, allow you to use only the benefits of vasodilation, such as oxygenation and metabolic stimulation, without irritating effect on microcirculation.

Sculpting the figure and stimulating the skin's immunity – procedure Fangomassagio

Thermofango acts on the skin tissues to stimulate blood circulation and cellular oxygenation, it is an excellent shock therapy against cellulite, obesity, stretch marks, impure, acne, atonic and sluggish skin.

Thermofango's special treatment regimen includes local applications on  skin areas of the face, thighs, abdomen and buttocks according to precise topography that defines alternating hot (positive) and cold (negative) areas to create circulatory poles. Thus, with the same treatment, an anti-cellulite, regenerating and toning effect is performed. Thanks to its oxygenating and soothing properties, Thermofango is not only a remedy for cellulite and obesity, but also a remedy for seborrheic, acne and atonic skin.

Stage #5 – this is a procedure for active exposure to acids – AHA, BHA, along with enzymes. This is the stage of cellular stimulation Biolift. Natural cell turnover is stimulated, improving the appearance of skin that looks brighter and smoother. This is the stage of active skin rejuvenation and the Biolift mask plays an important role in it. Professional product aimed at "cosmetic biorevitalization": activates skin tissues, restoring their vitality. This high-energy and restructuring 360° skin treatment reshapes  extracellular environment, improves the exchange between cell fluids, prevents free radical damage  collagen and elastin. The mask corrects all those imperfections which arise due to the depletion of skin tissues responsible primarily, but not only, for skin aging. It contains the important plant-derived patent GP4G™, capable of increasing ATP levels and therefore stimulating cellular responses, as well as two restructuring and rebalancing peptides: tetrapeptide-3 and dipeptide-2. To these important active ingredients are added low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, ceramides 1,3,6 and phytosphingosine. This is a bio-lifting procedure designed for all signs of aging of the face and body, such as: wrinkles and atony of the face, body, chest, wilting and sagging of the inner surfaces of the arms, thighs and abdomen, excellent treatment even for stretch marks. Perfectly integrated into the Dermophisiologique method,

The final step

in the treatment cycle is Antioxidant protection with BIO ALGAE  A concentrate of micronized seaweed originating from the coast of Brittany. It is available in the form of a very fine powder, which, when interacting with water & nbsp; forms «oily clay». Applied to the skin, it provides a protective effect against free radicals thanks to Ascophyllium nodosum with its antioxidant vitamins, while the high concentration of mucus present in Fucus vesciculosus guarantees superficial hydration of the skin. The presence of Laminaria digitata also promotes a tonic effect by acting on fibroblasts where it stimulates collagen synthesis. All brown algae have a detoxifying and metabolic stimulating effect, because they are rich in iodine, minerals that stimulate the process of fat breakdown (lipolysis) and blood and lymph microcirculation, providing fluid drainage to quickly remove toxins present in the body. The revitalizing effect is supported by the presence of caffeine, an active ingredient capable of stimulating key enzymes involved in fat metabolism at the level of adipocytes, while the presence of marine deposits guarantees an intense remineralizing and moisturizing effect on the skin.

Stimulation of microcirculation without skin irritation: Thermofango treatment protocol Dermophisiologique has always dedicated itself to research in cosmetic chemistry and biotechnological development to find new molecules, new active ingredients that can improve and improve the performance of products and the work of the beautician. Constant work done with such great enthusiasm, knowing full well that not fashion, but the seriousness of research is the key to successful work. Not a spasmodic search for the most famous asset, but constant attention to creating more and more effective products, knowing full well that the effectiveness of a cream, emulsion, lotion is not only in the asset, but also in the skillful ratio of all components of the formula, & nbsp; which and  creates a product. Therefore, special attention is paid to the type of emulsifier, carriers, the use of dermo-like substances, the introduction of preservative systems, which are becoming more natural, effective and less harmful, the elimination of substances such as synthetic dyes and alcohol. The result of this painstaking work are our products, our patents and registered trademarks.

Products are constantly being tested, and if scientific research brings forth new active ingredients, new molecules, they are properly incorporated into existing formulations, improve their functionality, but retain their effect in methodological work that becomes more efficient. The market for active ingredients, especially herbal ingredients, is constantly monitored. Color, texture and aroma are, in terms of effectiveness, primary in acquaintance with  cream, which in the nomenclature is called the sensory approach, and are important because the sensory makes the product "its",  recognizable; touch, smell and vision allow the beautician to recognize that a cream for wrinkles or cellulite is ... "mine"; cream. Draining  product, or skin tonic product,
