Thalgo Silicium Lift Silicium and Face Fitness: Two fundamental anti-geing assets

With age, wrinkles and a lack of firmness intensify. The complexion becomes dull and lacks freshness. Skin starts to sag and loses its structure and tone. On a physiological level, skin ageing causes a slowdown in the skin's basal metabolism and a drop in the level of Silicium in skin, reflected in:

1. A loss of skin firmness and tone, less resistant tissue, lacking in structure. A trace element essential to skin, Silicium is able to crosslink the fibroblasts and support fibres to form a toning and structuring dermal cement. A lack of Silicium leads to de-structuring and slackening of the dermal matrix.

2. Wrinkles become deep, skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag. With age, the fibroblasts produce fewer and lowerquality collagen and elastin fibres. Oxidative degradation is accelerated by ageing of the anti-free radical mechanisms. A Thalgo Innovation: The Face Fitness Roller

Face Fitness consists in working the facial muscles, just like we develop the muscles in certain areas of the body. Almost 20 years ago, THALGO - the Face Fitness pioneer - created the Energilift massage in collaboration with a plastic surgeon. This exclusive sculpting massage works the muscles of the face and neck deep down. Like a manual facelift, this professional technique naturally re-sculpts the face.

3. Skin seems finer and the complexion takes on a dull and pale appearance. Over the years, the superficial vascular networks diminish and the stratum corneum thickens.

4. The facial muscles lose tone and resistance. The face lacks lift and structure. Facial features are more frozen and volumes collapse.

Because of this, Thalgo has created Silicium Lift that includes skincare products and a professional protocol inspired by Face Fitness, to fill in wrinkles, firm the skin and refresh the complexion. matrix, promotes cell regeneration and revitalisation. It boosts fibroblast growth and activates the synthesis of elastin and collagen fibres and hyaluronic acid in the dermis, while protecting them from oxidative attack. Silicium has the ability to crosslink fibroblasts and collagen and elastin fibres with each other, creating a toning and structuring dermal cement. It is essential for good skin architecture, along with firmness and tone.

In 2022, Thalgo has created the Face Fitness Roller. This is a unique massage roller developed to optimise the firming and lifting effectiveness of the SILICIUM LIFT professional treatment. Its exclusive ergonomic design allows mechanical stimulation of the skin's different structures, on a dermal, muscular and vascular level.

A real fitness session for the face, it is available in for home use to boost the effectiveness of SILICIUM LIFT skincare products on a daily basis. Inspired by professional musculo-dermal kneading and rolling techniques, tutorials provide a guide to the steps to perform at home for a quick and easy massage.

The Silicium Lift Firming Treatment is a 60-minute treatment. The treatment combines the anti-ageing power of Silicium and vitamin C with an exclusive dermal stimulation technique carried out using Face Fitness Rollers. Let your client experience proven effectiveness from the very first treatment. According to a self-assessment by 23 volunteers who used the Face Fitness Roller twice daily for 28 days (% of volunteers who agree and mostly agree with the claim), 100% of participants skin was firmed, and 100% reported a visibly fresher complexion.

To prolong the benefits of SILICIUM LIFT FIRMING TREATMENT, THALGO has adapted its professional formulas in five daily skincare products, accompanied by the Face Fitness Roller. Retail products also fall in line with Thalgo's Clean Beauty pact, with between 91% and 95% ingredients of natural origin PLUS it's free from controversial active ingredients.

To enjoy the Face Fitness Roller's lifting and firming stimulation on a daily basis, THALGO has developed a HOME DEVICE version. Accompanied by application tutorials inspired by the THALGO Face Fitness professional method, this massage accessory boosts the effectiveness of each skincare product in the SILICIUM LIFT range. These ultra-rapid application techniques can be discovered by scanning the QR codes associated with each product.

More than a mere anti-ageing range, SILICIUM LIFT is a real skin architecture treatment thanks to the combination of marine Silicium and the Face Fitness Roller.

As part of the Green Pack Commitment, the range consist of Jars with eco-refills, recyclable metallic cardboard packs sourced from sustainably managed forests.
