• Treatment of redness/couperose IPL treats redness of the couperose, rosacea, ruby spots type, as well as small stellate angiomas on the face.
• Brighten diffuse stains: Thanks to its broad-spectrum action, IPL also lightens spots and brightens the complexion overall. It is particularly suitable for dull, "smokers'" complexions.
• Photorejuvenation of treated areas: Stimulation of new collagen synthesis improves skin texture and texture, as well as elasticity and overall skin quality.
• Tighten dilated pores 
• Reduce the redness and inflammation associated with acne

The treatment area is cleaned and make-up removed. The therapist applies a cool gel to the area to be treated, then passes the handpiece of the IPL device directly over the skin. Unlike lasers, which act at a distance, IPL requires direct contact with the skin for the energy to be transmitted properly.

During treatment, the patient generally feels a sensation of warmth and like a little "rubber band".

IPL treatment is rapid and is carried out without local anaesthetic to avoid dilating the vessels.

Ulthera®, marketed under the Ultherapy® brand, is a medical device that uses high-intensity micro-focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deeply firm and tone the skin without surgery. Developed by Merz Aesthetics, this technology is the first and only to combine a real-time ultrasound imaging system with the emission of therapeutic ultrasound energy.

In practical terms, Ultherapy precisely heats the tissues to 60-70°C at three distinct depths: 1.5 mm (superficial dermis), 3.0 mm (deep dermis) and 4.5 mm (superficial musculoaponeurotic layer, or SMAS). This last depth corresponds exactly to the plane that surgeons treat during a facelift. Under the effect of heat, existing collagen fibres retract immediately, while a process of neocollagenesis is triggered to produce new collagen and elastin over the following months.

What sets Ulthera® apart from other HIFU devices on the market is precisely its integrated imager: the practitioner can view the targeted skin layers in real time, guaranteeing precise treatment, safe treatment and maximum results.

Ultherapy is aimed at anyone with sagging skin on the face, neck or décolleté, or on certain parts of the body such as the buttocks, knees, etc., who wants to correct this sign of ageing without resorting to surgery. The best candidates are people aged between 30 and 60 with a noticeable but moderate loss of tone.

From the age of 30: a preventive approach to Ultherapy

From the age of 30, the natural production of collagen begins to slow down. Ulthera can then be considered as a preventive treatment to maintain skin tone and slow down the appearance of the first signs of ageing. Forever Institut doctors recommend an annual maintenance session from this age onwards for patients who wish to anticipate the effects of ageing.

Between 40 and 60: a visible lifting effect

This is the age group where Ultherapy gives the most spectacular results. When the loss of firmness of the lower face, neck or eyelids becomes visible, Ultherapy can help restore a redefined oval, firmer skin and a more youthful, dynamic appearance, without surgery.

Deep skin firming

Ulthera®'s micro-focused ultrasound is delivered at depths of 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm. At 4.5 mm, the SMAS is reached, the same layer targeted during a surgical facelift. Under the effect of heat (60-70°C), the collagen fibres retract immediately, producing a slight tightening effect that is immediately perceptible. Then, gradually, the body manufactures new collagen that restores the skin's support framework.

Natural, lasting results

Ultherapy stimulates your body's own natural production of collagen. The result is extremely natural: your skin is remodelled from within, with no artificial changes to volumes. The effects develop over 3 to 6 months, the time it takes for the body to produce new collagen, and last between 12 and 18 months.

No social exclusion

Ultherapy is a non-invasive method: no surgery, no recovery time. You can resume all your activities as soon as the treatment is over.

Immediately after the session, a slight sensation of firming is perceptible. The real effects of Ulthera gradually become apparent around 3 months after the treatment, as new collagen forms. The final result is generally visible 6 months after the procedure.

The Ultherapy effect lasts between 12 and 18 months. Additional treatments can be carried out to slow down the natural ageing process. The range of results varies according to the age, skin quality, lifestyle and metabolism of each patient.

To boost results, the doctors at Forever Institut recommend combining Ulthera with Radiesse® injections, which also stimulate collagen production by complementary mechanisms.

Since 1997, Forever Institut has been pioneering centre for aesthetic medicine and surgery in French-speaking Switzerland, founded by Dr Luigi L. Polla. With over 30 years of expertise, the Forever Institut medical team has mastered the most advanced technologies in non-invasive aesthetic medicine.

Ulthera® is one of the leading treatments offered at our three clinics in Geneva, Lausanne and Nyon. Each session is carried out by trained and qualified practitioners, in compliance with the strictest safety protocols. According to the experts at Forever Institut, Ultherapy remains the world benchmark in ultrasound lifting without surgery, thanks in particular to its integrated imager, which no other HIFU device on the market has.

• Significant reduction in acne : Aviclear not only eliminates existing acne, but also prevents future breakouts, resulting in a lasting improvement in skin clarity and health.
• Improved skin texture Aviclear helps to significantly tighten pores over the long term. Thanks to its action on the sebaceous glands, the skin is less inflamed and smoother for longer.
• Non-invasive, drug-free treatment: AviClear offers a non-drug alternative to traditional acne treatments, making it an ideal option for those who want a long-lasting solution without the need for prescription drugs or topical treatments.
• Minimum social eviction : AviClear treatments are non-invasive and allow patients to resume their daily activities without interruption. Slight redness may appear immediately after the session, but this quickly fades, limiting any social discomfort and allowing patients to return to their normal lives without restraint.
• For all skin types: This treatment is suitable for a wide range of phototypes, offering a universal solution for acne sufferers.

After cleansing the skin, the practitioner applies the AviClear laser to the affected areas. The sensation is generally described as slight heat, and a built-in cooling system helps to minimise discomfort.

A complete treatment consists of a series of three non-invasive sessions lasting approximately 1 hour. Three AviClear sessions are recommended for optimum results, as one square centimetre of skin contains around 900 sebaceous glands. Clinical studies have shown that one or two sessions are not enough to effectively target and reduce the majority of sebaceous glands, making a third session necessary to achieve the desired results.

• Tightsculpting SP Dynamis Pro laser combines Erbium:Yag and Nd:Yag to deliver an overall rejuvenation of the face. The energy delivered deep down has a lifting effect, tightening the subcutaneous tissues. At the same time, it stimulates the fibroblasts and revascularises the blood vessels. This treatment can be an excellent complement to an Ulthera maintenance treatment.
• 4D rejuvenation In addition to the Tightsculpting part, 4D Rejuvenation combines the FRAC3 mode, which also makes it possible to eliminate skin imperfections and work on the overall texture of the skin. This is the most complete treatment offered by the Fotona Dynamis Pro laser.
• LipLase Liplase helps to naturally plump up the lips, thanks to the increase in collagen production induced by heat.
• SmoothEye SmoothEye is recommended for rejuvenating the peri-ocular area, reducing fine lines on the lower eyelid and firming and smoothing the upper eyelid.

4D rejuvenation takes place in four stages, the last of which is a light removal of the corneal layer comparable to a superficial peel. This is the most complete treatment offered by the Fotona Dynamis Pro laser.

The session is not painful, although you may feel a warming and/or tingling sensation.

Thanks to its specific technology, the Fotona treatment offers an overall rejuvenation of the face, lips and eye contour. 

Lase® Baby Face, also known as Lase® Ultra, Lase® is an ultra-modern method for introducing rejuvenating active ingredients directly into the dermis. Thanks to the Lase® treatment, the substances are better absorbed by the skin for 48 hours, allowing optimal absorption of the active ingredients present in the serums applied post-treatment.

This technology uses a superficial sub-ablative thulium laser (1927 nm) that gently opens micro-channels in the skin. These micro-channels allow the active ingredients of cosmeceuticals to penetrate more deeply and be absorbed approximately 10 times more than a topical product by the epidermis, down to the superficial dermis.
The result? A smooth, luminous and visibly younger-looking skin.

At Forever Institut, the Lase® treatment is performed under the responsibility of Dr. L.L. Polla by qualified therapists. Each session is tailored to your specific needs: your specialist chooses the ampoule of active ingredient best suited to your treatment cycle. This tailor-made approach guarantees optimal results for every type of skin problem.

Lase® Ultra is suitable for all ages and all skin types, from the fairest to the darkest. The session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. The skin may feel a little flaky for a few days after treatment.

Targeted indications for all ages and phototypes

The Lase® Baby Face treatment is for anyone who wants to improve the quality of their skin.

The main indications treated by Forever Institut :

• Improved skin texture
  Lase® helps to tighten pores and achieve a long-lasting mattifying effect, particularly appreciated on seborrhoeic skin. It effectively treats superficial and hyperpigmented acne scars for smooth, even skin.
• Treatment of acne active
  Thanks to the combined action of the laser and retinol serum, Lase® works effectively on active acne. For deeper acne scars, it can be combined with Frax®. or Genius for optimum results.
• Wrinkles and fine lines
  The Lase® treatment helps to reduce fine lines, particularly those around the eyes and on the lower eyelids. It also acts on the décolleté and neck for an overall anti-ageing effect. By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, it restores the complexion's radiance.
• Pigmentation disorders and lesions
  Lase® is particularly effective in treating melasma (pregnancy mask), helioderma (sun damage), lentigines, solar and senile lentigos, ephelides (freckles) and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The combination of laser and tranexamic acid offers remarkable results on these pigmented lesions.

Other indications

• Prevention of skin ageing and treatment of actinic keratoses
• Stimulation of hair regrowth (combined with PRP)
• Scar improvement

Personalise your session with targeted bulbs

The Lase® Ultra programme offers four different ampoules of active ingredient. They contain no preservatives or chemicals:

• Vitamin A (retinol) ampoule: Retinoic acid rejuvenates ageing skin. This anti-ageing substance stimulates collagen formation and accelerates healthy cell renewal. Ideal for active acne.
• TA (tranexamic acid) ampoule: Tranexamic acid helps treat melasma and pigmentation disorders, as well as accelerating wound healing.
• NCTF: a blend of vitamins, minerals and fluid hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump the skin.

At Forever Institut, you can also opt for the addition of PRP or’exosomes for intense cellular stimulation.

Rapidly visible results

The face benefits from an immediate radiance boost after each Baby Face session. The appearance of the skin gradually improves, with a smoother texture and a more even complexion. Small scabs are naturally removed after 5 to 7 days.

Recommended protocol

The number of treatments depends on the condition of the skin. The best results are obtained with repeated applications at two-week intervals. Forever Institut recommends 3 to 5 consecutive treatments for optimal, long-lasting results.

Important If you buy a pack of sessions, it is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Year-round treatment

Unlike many lasers, Lase® can be produced in all seasons. However, this is not the case, you should not expose yourself to the sun for one month after treatment. It is also important to note that Lase® can affect your tan. Its action on the superficial layers of the skin leads to rapid convalescence, enabling you to resume your daily activities quickly.

• Skin textureLase® ("Baby Face") helps to tighten dilated pores and achieve a mattifying effect. It can also be used to treat various types of scarring, such as acne scars and stretch marks.
• Acne Lase® treats active acne
• Acne scars Lase® treats superficial, hyperpigmented acne scars. For optimum action on acne scars, it is recommended to combine it with Frax®. or Genius
• Fine lines and a radiant complexion Lase® acts on cell regeneration in the superficial layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. It helps restore radiance to the complexion and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• ScalpStimulation of hair regrowth, particularly if combined with the injection of PRP
• Can be carried out all year round: As this laser mainly targets the superficial layers of the skin, it leads to rapid convalescence, allowing the treatment to be carried out in all seasons.

Possible side effects

As with any aesthetic procedure, the Lase® treatment involves certain effects to varying degrees:

• Sensation of heat: may be felt 1 to 2 hours after treatment
• Redness and swelling: the redness usually disappears within 1 to 2 days. In uncommon cases, it may persist for several weeks. Swelling usually disappears in 3 to 5 days.
• Micro-scratches: traces of laser impact visible for 3 to 5 days, can be concealed with make-up after 48 hours.
• Skin sensitivity: transient in the treated area
• Hyperpigmentation: rare, transitory

Precautions before treatment

• Do not apply self-tanner (1 week before)
• No sauna, hammam or body scrub (72 hours before)
• No chemical or mechanical peel (2 weeks before)

Precautions after treatment

• No sun exposure for 1 month - Apply sun protection SPF 50+ three times a day for this month.
• Do not apply any products other than those recommended by the therapist, or make-up, for at least 48 hours.
• Avoid intensive sports for a week or until the wound has healed completely
• Avoid applying products containing alcohol for a week
• Do not apply cosmetic products containing retinol or fruit acids without your doctor's permission.
• Gently wash the treated area and pat dry with a clean cloth.
• Do not scratch the treated area and moisturise it daily

Contraindications

Lase® treatment is not recommended in the following cases:

• Pregnancy
• Breast-feeding (when using serum retinol or exosomes)
• Allergy to topical anaesthetics
• Application of a self-tanner in the previous week
• On the area to be treated: bacterial or viral infections (herpes), open wounds, etc.
• Scleroderma, eczema, rosacea
• Radiotherapy to the treated area or cancerous lesion
• Less than 3 months after a chemical/mechanical peel or ablative/non-ablative laser treatment
• Collagen disease or wound healing disorder
• Neuropathy
• Tattoo or permanent make-up on the area to be treated
• Injured or dehydrated skin.

The energy delivered by Lase® is absorbed by the water in skin tissue cells, creating thousands of micro-channels in the surface layer of the skin. The creation of these tiny ''wells'' accelerates the body's natural healing process, including the production of new collagen and elastin, the molecules essential to our skin's firmness and elasticity.

Personalise your session

Micro-channels have a second advantage: they allow the active ingredients you apply to the skin to penetrate deep into the skin for 48 hours. It is therefore possible to personalise your treatment, by applying a care product specifically selected for your needs: tranexamic acid (for spots or melasma), retinol (for active acne or the anti-ageing effect), PRP or exosomes (for cell stimulation).

The products we apply after the Lase® treatment are specially formulated and contain no preservatives, artificial fragrances or colourings.

• Skin firmingPlasma Exérèse (PlexR®) induces skin shrinkage using controlled, localised heat, smoothing out folds caused by excess skin.
• Medical blepharoplasty PlexR® can be used to correct drooping eyelids, when the skin is slightly slack or wrinkled. It can also be used to make a slight correction after blepharoplasty or to maintain the results of surgery.
• Dermatological procedures PlexR® can treat Xanthelasma (yellowish-coloured fat deposits) and certain types of scarring (stretch marks, keloids, etc.).

It may be necessary to repeat the treatment; optimal results are obtained between 1 and 3 sessions, and the effect can last up to 2 years. If recommended by your doctor, an annual maintenance session will help to maintain long-term results.

An anaesthetic cream is applied to the area to be treated about 1 hour before the session to avoid pain.

During the session, the practitioner uses the handpiece of the PlexR device, which emits a very high-temperature ionising current (plasma) when it is close to the skin, without coming into contact with it.

Carried out point by point, this plasma vaporises the surface layer of the skin in a highly localised and precise manner.

Treatment with PlexR requires a few days' social absence due to oedema (swelling of the treated area), which generally lasts between 48 and 72 hours. In some cases, the redness may last longer. Small crusts also form on the surface of the skin and remain for a few days. It is essential to avoid exposure to the sun for as long as the marks are present. We supply special SKIN COVER cream, which should be applied until the scabs come off naturally.

• Skin texture : Smoothes irregularities, reduces scarring and tightens pores.
• Scars : Improvement of surgical scars, acne scars and stretch marks.
• Anti-ageing : Reduces wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production.

FRAX emits microbeams of light that penetrate the dermis to create small coagulation zones. This triggers the skin's natural healing process and leads to the production of new collagen and elastin. The skin repairs itself from within, improving its texture and overall quality without damaging the skin's surface.

To ensure maximum comfort, an anaesthetic cream is applied to the area to be treated 30 minutes before the treatment begins. Then, once the parameters adapted to your skin's specific needs have been defined, your beautician uses the laser handpiece to make one or more passes over the area concerned.

After the treatment, the treated area may show some redness, a temporary side effect which should diminish over the following days. To promote optimal healing, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying make-up.
