About the procedure
The Villa 05 skin-care programme is built on restoring the skin barrier, not on "exfoliation". Most clients arrive with disturbed microbiota, a thinned stratum corneum and sensitisation from aggressive cosmetic procedures.
Base protocol: condition assessment (dermatoscopy, TEWL — transepidermal water loss — and pH measurement), gentle acidic cleansers, barrier restoration (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids), photoprotection.
Added when indicated: contour micropeel (PHA acids, not AHA/BHA), enzymatic procedures, LED phototherapy (red for regeneration, blue for acne), HydraFacial for congested skin.
What is not done: aggressive medium-depth peels during the retreat (incompatible with the active tropical climate and the programme's physical load), filler or botulinum injections without lengthy prior consultation.
