The ektòs protocol is a professional clinical-cosmetic inspired treatment designed to counteract environmental skin aging, caused by smog, cigarette smoke, radiation (UV, IR, blue light) and heavy metals. It intervenes not only on visible signs, but on the biological mechanisms that generate them, through three integrated actions: it enhances the skin''s defenses against free radicals, improves the skin''s metabolic efficiency making it more vital and radiant, and stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, increasing firmness and elasticity. The result is a more resistant, balanced and capable skin that can autonomously defend itself from environmental stress.

Environmental skin aging manifests with more premature and accentuated signs compared to the natural physiological process. It can present with premature and marked wrinkles, spots and dyschromias accompanied by a dull complexion, rough or dehydrated skin, sometimes thickened, redness, burning or itching, dilated pores, impurities and increased skin sensitivity. At the root is a state of oxidative stress and chronic micro-inflammation that alters the normal defense and repair functions of the skin.

Yes. However, the objective of the protocol is not only to restore immediate radiance, but to intervene deeply on the mechanisms that compromise it, such as oxidative stress, chronic micro-inflammation and the degradation of dermal fibers. The first improvements are visible already from the first sessions, while the most structural results are progressive and above all stable over time.

It depends on the initial conditions of the skin. In many cases, the first improvements are visible already from the first session; the benefits on firmness and elasticity emerge progressively with the continuity of the protocol.

The results are long-lasting because the ektòs treatment acts on the causes of environmental and oxidative stress, not just on the visible effects on the skin. Their duration depends on home maintenance and lifestyle: with consistency and adequate protection, the benefits are maintained over time, while incorrect habits or intense exposures can favor the reappearance of manifestations.

No, it is an advanced aesthetic treatment of clinical inspiration. It does not require medical supervision, but uses cutting-edge cosmetic active ingredients and technologies selected to guarantee total safety and maximum effectiveness.

No. The ektòs treatment is designed to be safe and controlled, and Research experts will follow you through every phase of the protocol. Temporary reactions may occur, such as slight dryness, redness or a feeling of tension: these are expected and generally transient physiological responses.

The treatment is not indicated in the presence of open skin lesions, active dermatological therapies, pregnancy or skin highly sensitized by recent procedures. Each situation is still individually evaluated by the Dermotechnologist.

The ektòs protocol uses antioxidant and biomimetic active ingredients in safe concentrations, inserted in a sequence designed to strengthen the skin barrier and not to aggress it. The action is gradual, controlled and aimed at modulating the skin''s responses without overstimulating or stressing it.

It is not advisable to interrupt the protocol independently. Each reaction is evaluated by the Dermotechnologist and often falls within the expected effects. With the support of home products, any manifestations tend to normalize quickly.

In the initial phases, stressed or oxidized skin may be more reactive to stimuli and perceive the active ingredients more intensely. This is an expected and transient response: as the barrier strengthens and skin balance is restored, the tingling tends to diminish without reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.

A transient phase with slight dryness or micro-desquamation may occur, linked to the stimulated skin turnover from the treatment.

The complete cycle of the ektòs protocol involves 5 consecutive sessions, one per week. This is the minimum frequency necessary to activate a consistent and stable response in the skin''s defense and repair mechanisms.

It is important to maintain the weekly cadence. Any delays should be recovered as soon as possible so as not to interrupt the sequence of biological stimulation.

Direct sun exposure is strongly discouraged in the 48 hours following, as the skin has been stimulated with highly concentrated active ingredients and needs protection.

Yes, by adopting the correct precautions: avoid direct exposure in the 48 hours following and always use the recommended sun protection.

Some medications can increase photosensitivity or interfere with cutaneous oxidative processes. It is essential to communicate this during the anamnesis phase, so that the Dermotechnologist can personalize the protocol.

It depends on the time elapsed and the current skin conditions. It is always important to communicate any treatments such as fillers, botox or needling to the Dermotechnologist, who will assess how to correctly set up the protocol.

It is not advisable to combine other facial treatments during the protocol, to avoid unexpected skin reactions. Any integrations must be evaluated by the Dermotechnologist.

It is preferable to avoid it for 48 hours after the treatment, so as not to interfere with the ongoing skin processes.

The ektòs protocol includes a dedicated home routine, designed to amplify and prolong the effects of the professional cabin treatment through the EktoGevity formulas. The use of different cosmetics could interfere with the results and should eventually be agreed upon with the Dermotechnologist.

Yes, after the session it is possible to apply make-up, preferably light and dermatologically tested.
