It is said that skin is a functional picture of the organism and endocrinological system. Any hormone concentration ups and downs may improve its appearance or significantly worsen its condition as well as it may lead to occurrence of dermatological changes. In adult women, the ageing process changes its significance step by step. Despite the passage of time, women want to feel good inside their skins. The adult skin is more requiring and it needs special care, often using a cosmetic apparatus.

A holistic approach makes it possible to reach the skin density and thickness increase, wrinkles shallowing, humidity and resilience improvement and also recovery of the proper face oval.
