What does a Matcha-Tda facial cost, how often should you repeat it and where can I do it?

Self-test: This is how the Matcha facial

cleaning

First my skin was thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, make-up and deposits. Theconsisted of two steps.

Peeling

Then my skin on the face and neck and décolleté was petled with the TDA treatment. This is not necessary for every skin. However, since I was very affected by inflammation and impurities due to hormonal acne at the time of treatment, we decided on a chemical peeling.

TDA-MATCHA-BOOSTER

Then there was a TDA face treatment from Dermadrop with the Matcha booster. On the videos it is easy to see how the device affects my skin due to the air flow. It feels very cool and pleasant at all times. Without direct skin contact, TDA technology ensures a fresh and radiant complexion. After use, the skin looks refreshed and receives a natural- without any pain or irritation. Sustainable skin improvement can be supported with several sessions.

Mask

To relax and support the skin, the “Cover Hyal Mask” was used immediately afterwards. It is intended to stimulate the skin's own collagen production, promote cell renewal and optimize the skin moisture. According to Dermadrop, the result is a tighter skin and a radiant, fresh complexion. For me, the substance was applied to a cloth that then developed and could be put on as a sheet mask.

Serum/care

As a last step in the treatment, that was for me“Cannaboost Serum”Applied by dermadrop. This was specially developed for stressed and cellular skin. It is intended to promote and activate sustainable regeneration and protect the cells and reduce the transpid -painted loss of moisture. It also has a calming and antioxidant effect.

Self-test: The Matcha facial did that with my skin

I used the TDA facial treatment with Matcha twice. Both times my skin was in poor condition. Since I have hormonal acne, my skin quality changes depending on. It is good for two weeks, and for two weeks it is affected by many impurities and inflammation that heal very slowly. Of course, my impurities were not immediately disappearing from the Dermadrop after treatments, but I was able to perceive a radiant and finer complexion. I also had the impression that my redness was reduced. My skin felt hydrated, calmed down and balanced. In times of impure skin, the facial helps me to feel a little more comfortable and also with the wound healing of the inflamed areas.

Treatment only takes about half an hour, which is also an advantage for me, as it can be integrated into everyday life in a great time during the week. It is not a treatment that makes you relax and relax, but to work effectively on the skin quality.

Due to the insufficient study situation, Dr. med. Christian Merkel, however, carefully: “I think the use of Matcha in a TDA treatment is less useful, since its effect in this area is still little researched. Instead, I would use it more superficially - for example in the form of oneOr mask - instead of let it penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin as a facial, since the transdermal application looks very deep. ”

The facial worked for me, and no negative effects have been shown. Nevertheless, I do not find it “gamuchanger” in my skin care or for my skin type, but can definitely help in times of bad skin condition.
