The effect is gradual and more subtle than surgery, but it provides lasting improvements in texture, radiance and tone.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n      <details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n        <summary>Which active ingredient to choose for a firming effect?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">Retinol is the best documented firming agent. Peptides are a better-tolerated alternative for sensitive skin. Exfoliating acids complete the effect by smoothing the texture. They are introduced one after the other, never all at once.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n      <details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n        <summary>Is the LED mask effective against sagging?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">Red light is used to stimulate fibroblasts and support collagen production. It is a non-irritating supplement, to be used regularly as an adjunct to an active ingredients routine, not as a substitute.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n      <details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n        <summary>How often should I exfoliate for a lifting effect?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">Once a week is enough for most skin types, with more powerful peeling masks spaced out up to once a fortnight. Exfoliating too often weakens the skin barrier and has the opposite effect to that intended.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n      <details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n        <summary>Should lifting skin care products be applied to the neck?<\/summary>\n        <div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">Yes, the neck, d\u00e9collet\u00e9 and back of the hands age like the face, but are often forgotten. Extending anti-oxidants and firming treatments to these areas allows for a more even result.<\/div>\n      <\/details>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"bd-section\">\n  <div class=\"bd-wrap\">\n    <span class=\"bd-section-label\">Further information<\/span>\n    <h2>Our guides <em>firmness<\/em> detailed<\/h2>\n    <div class=\"bd-hub-grid\">\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/anti-wrinkle-care\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Guide<\/span><h3>Anti-wrinkle care<\/h3><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/anti-aging-care\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Guide<\/span><h3>Anti-aging care<\/h3><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/anti-uv-care\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Guide<\/span><h3>Sun protection<\/h3><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/face-led\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">File<\/span><h3>LED masks and helmets<\/h3><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/anti-wrinkle-care\/anti-wrinkle-cream\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Comparison<\/span><h3>Best anti-wrinkle creams<\/h3><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a>\n      <a class=\"bd-hub-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/facial-care\/anti-wrinkle-care\/anti-wrinkle-serum\/\"><span class=\"bd-hub-card-tag\">Comparison<\/span><h3>Best anti-wrinkle serums<\/h3><span class=\"bd-hub-card-arrow\">Read the guide \u2192<\/span><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"bd-sig\">\n  <strong>Dr Sylvain David<\/strong>\n  <span>Plastic and aesthetic surgeon - Founder of BeautyDecoded<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bd-disclaimer\">\n  <p>Information for educational purposes only.
