Feeling a bit tired and down? We’ve tested three fabulous treatments to help you get that radiant complexion and a steel-strong mindset!

What is it? The Faucheur Method, inspired by the Japanese ancient technique Kobido, was developed by three women from the same family – mother, daughter, and sister – to offer a custom treatment even more effective than Kobido, with complementary tools, relaxation movements, and facial drainage maneuvers.

Where? Just steps away from the Arc de Triomphe, in the heart of the 17th arrondissement, in a former artist's studio flooded with light, showcasing a very Parisian style. It also serves as a space for exchange, with exhibitions of artistic works and photography.

The promise: A lifted face and absolute well-being.

The protocol: For an hour, around fifty facial muscles, as well as those of the neck and décolletage, are engaged and stimulated to relax, soften, lighten, smooth, reshape, sculpt, and enhance volume with effective movements that boost blood and lymphatic circulation, relax the muscles, and promote total well-being. This is a custom method adapted to each person, each skin, each face, with a strong focus on high-quality products, all Made in France, like Mimétique, D+, Reine Capricieuse, and Talm, which are also safe for pregnant women and sensitive skin.

Result: A refreshed face with reduced wrinkles, fine lines, and puffiness, and a reshaped oval.

Kobido Faucheur Paris, 41 rue Bayen, Paris 17e, 01 86 52 87 37. Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 7 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. By appointment only. Must-try: Mo Kobido, 1h, 150 €.

What is it? Hydrafacial is a revolutionary aesthetic treatment that combines several techniques into one, using a patented machine that exfoliates, deeply cleanses, and intensely hydrates.

Where? In the new SkinThera dermatology and aesthetic medicine center, a beautiful, minimalist, calming, and medical space just steps from Parc Monceau, home to a multidisciplinary team of 8 specialized doctors and state-of-the-art equipment with the latest technologies.

The promise: A deeply cleansed skin and a glowing complexion.

The protocol: The treatment starts with an in-depth skin analysis using the Visia7 analysis tool, which examines various parameters such as wrinkles, skin texture, and pores to define a custom protocol. Then, in the comfort of a lovely cabin, the Hydrafacial treatment follows in three steps. With a small double-tube vacuum device, it gently exfoliates, deeply cleanses, and hydrates the skin, infusing it with antioxidants packed with hyaluronic acid and peptides. 15 minutes of LED light complete the treatment for optimal results. Ideal for reducing imperfections and restoring radiance.

Result: No more blackheads! Pores are tightened, and you’ll have a dream complexion.

SkinThera, 27 boulevard de Courcelles, Paris 17e, 01 42 89 27 82. Monday to Friday from 9 am to 8 pm and Saturday from 9 am to 7 pm. Hydrafacial treatment, 45 minutes, starting at 180 €. Online booking available.
