What if an architect took care of your skin?

RÉPONSE TEMPSDENSIFIANCE - INTENSIVE REMODELLING CARE AND DENSIFIANCE SOIR - RESTRUCTURING EVENING CARE:

• A synergic action for an advanced fi rming effect.

• Technological active ingredients selected for their properties and for how they diffuse and act within the skin.

The launch of Densifi ance - Intensive remodelling care and Densifi ance Soir - restructuring evening care in October 2009 accompanies the launch of a new professional MATIS treatment: Expert Densi-fying Treatment.

Comfortable and enveloping, Densifi ance Soir - restructuring evening care revitalises cellu-lar regeneration and improves skin tone uni-formity and vitality:

• Glycolic acid coupled with a polysaccharide extracted from chicory: for micro-exfoliation, encouraging cellular regeneration and erasing liver spots. With a high molecular weight, the attached glycolic acid remains on the surface for better tolerance.

• Nano-citrus extract: citrofl avonoids rich with active molecules that slowdown the melano-genesis responsible for the appearance and development of liver spots; used in the form of liposomes to preserve the integrity of the active ingredients and to ensure slow, progressive release.

• Essential jasmine wax: chosen for its regenerative properties.

Tensing and smoothing, Densifiance - remodelling care, is enriched with active in-gredients specifi cally for the daytime:

• Smartvector U.V ® : neutralises the effects of UV rays which aggress the epidermis everyday and are responsible for photo-induced ageing. The encapsulated vitamins C and E are progres-sively released throughout the day under the infl uence of light rays, for permanent and conti-nuous protection.

• Lipopeptide R: anti-ageing, helps to slowdown the visible effects of ageing, reduces skin hypersensitivity specifi c to mature skin guaranteeing maximum comfort and constant well-being.

• Fractions of oat sugar: an innovative active ingredient which tenses and smoothes the skin, providing a new toned look.

Densifi ance et Densifi ance Soir are available in 50ml pots, in a silver RÉPONSE TEMPS.

Skin’s age is the result of the biological age, genetic characteristics and also the behaviour of the individual particularly in terms of sun exposure which is largely responsible for thickening and ageing the skin. There is no such thing as one unique mature skin - there are many.

MATIS has therefore created its professional Expert Densifying Treatment in six stages to help skin rediscover tone and fi rmness and to reveal a new skin.

The Densifying Professional Treatment is the heart of this approach. Its genuine originality

resides in the possibility of customising its formula to suit the age and specifi c requirements of each person’s skin.

The kit contains 2 products (Restructuring Mask and Smoothing Concentrate) to be mixed together, enabling the beautician to dose the peeling effect and thus maximise results for the skin.

Densifi ance - remodelling care complements the Kit in the new Expert Densifying Treatment : in beauty salons mature skins now have a professional answer for fi rmness and density!

Direct and visible consequences: the skin loses body and firmness and its density is reduced. Contours and volumes are blurred; wrinkles and lines move in. The skin loses brightness.

Degradation of collagen and elastin fibres, distension of the cutaneous network, weakened resistance of the support structure and slackening skin…

Over time, the skin loses body and firmness.

Densifiance, the exceptional treatment programme to help mature skin rediscover body, tone and vitality that can fade with time!

As our experience grows, the characteristics of our skin evolve through a combination of intrinsic factors (genetics, hormones, etc.) that can be aggravated by extrinsic factors: the weather, smoking, UV rays and more.The dermis becomes thinner, the outer layer of the epidermis thickens and cellular regeneration is slower.

Not to mention the fibroblasts which reduce their activity and no longer play their cohesive part within the extra-cellular matrix; there are fewer elastin and collagen fibres and of lower quality…the entire dermic support network suffers.

Dill extract (a brand new vegetable extract that has been recently discovered for its cosmetic properties) ensures skin elasticity and tonicity : it stimulates the production of LOXL, an enzyme that is essential for activating the bridges between micro-fibres for perfect elastin functionality.Its action permits to start again the synthesis of functional elastic fibres and helps thus to restore the natural elasticity of support tissue.

To strengthen the cutaneous architecture, soy extract boosts the fibroblast activity and revitalises their natural capacity for contraction and adhesion as the tests carried out on this extract prove:

+ 741% for collagen I (tested in vitro at 0.5%)

+ 80% for collagen III (tested in vitro at 0.5%)

+ 76%of α-SMA, fibres involved in fibroblast retractile pro-perties to tighten the dermic network (tested in vitro at 0.1%)

+ 159% of fibronectin, another key element in cutaneous architecture (tested in vitro at 0.1%)

The natural synthesis of support fibres is deployed. The matrix network rediscovers its ability to support the epidermis. The skin gains body and density.

Day after day, the skin recreates its own tissue. It is firmer, smoother and the facial volu-mes appear resculpted.
