The sun and years lead to aging of the skin, which can be seen by fine lines, enlarged pores, dilated capillaries, brown spots and skin drooping.

Several techniques have been developed over the years to treat these problems: peelings, lasabrasion, facelifts, etc. However, these techniques are invasive and involve convalescence and recuperation time as well as appreciable complications.

Cutaneous rejuvenation aims at eliminating pigmentary and vascular lesions, softening wrinkles and improving the skin's texture.

On the medical plane, cellulitis is an inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue. This has nothing to do with the uneven and lumpy look of the skin, often at the buttocks and thigh level. Because the word cellulitis is widespread, it is used to designate this form of localized obesity.

It has been determined that a good number of obese people do not produce any cellulitis, while many women suffering from cellulitis are not overweight.

Varicose veins, or varices, are dilated, sometimes tortuous, superficial veins that no longer fulfil their physiological role. Varying in size and calibre they can be symptomatic or not.
