Advanced anti-ageing
With a wide range of clients having regular treatments, it is simply not enough to have a ‘one size
fits all’ anti-ageing option on your menu. Clients are now more demanding of an approach that
deals specifically with personal ageing concerns. Our anti-ageing Timexpert ranges offer a choice
in treating the various effects of ageing, with four very specific therapies available:
7
Timexpert Rides: specifically for lines and wrinkles
Working to fill wrinkles from within and inhibit the formation of new expression lines,
this range is based on two active ingredients developed by Germaine de Capuccini:
Pro-Collagestine Fill Technology: A concentrated flower stem extract that increases
the production of collagen and elastin to repair the skin’s natural firmness.
Micro-Dermoxine Complex: A formula inspired by the micro-injections of botox and
collagen reduces the length and depth of expression lines and wrinkles naturally.
Timexpert C+: for dull, tired and stressed skin
Glycation causes collagen and elastin fibres to degenerate, so the skin loses its
suppleness, firmness and looks dull. The advanced formulation of this range slows
down and counteracts the effects of glycation using Ume Extract, a Japanese plum
containing a high content of vitamins, minerals and organic acids. Pure Vitamin C is
also included with all its anti-oxidising benefits to intensely rejuvenate, revitalise and
bring vitality to dull and stressed skin.
Timexpert White: for skin with hyperpigmentation
Effectively reducing the appearance of dark spots and regulating the pigmentation
process, thanks to the innovative ingredient Melanolight Process Technology. Created
in the Germaine de Capuccini laboratories, this ingredient treats hyperpigmentation
by regulating the melanin synthesis process. Timexpert White works intensely before,
during and after the formation of dark spots to restore an even, radiant skin tone.
Timexpert Lift: lifting and redefining the facial contours
An intelligent range that emulates the effects of surgical lifting, providing flaccid
skin with volume, lift and firmness. The high-performance complex V-Matrix
works at the root of the problem, rebuilding the mesh that structures the dermis to
redefine the facial contour and restore firmness from inside. Calcium and Glucose
also stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid in the dermis to provide a constant
reserve of hydration and help increase the density of the skin.

Medical aesthetics
The Germaine de Capuccini Synergyage Project
combines cosmeceutical products with advanced
technology providing innovative solutions to the main
aesthetic problems: acne, darkspots, wrinkles, rosacea,
flaccidity, cellulite and stretch marks.
This is a relatively new market segment providing the
potential to expand all good beauty clinics and spas with
a Medi-Spa approach.
The Synergyage cosmeceuticals range is defined by:
• Powerful ingredients in maximum concentrations.
• Treatments that are prescribed and performed by
trained and highly qualified staff.
• Innovative solutions to dermatological problems.
Efficy3 Machine
Cutting edge medical-aesthetic equipment ensuring
exceptional, safe and lasting results, working together
with products from our Synergyage cosmeceuticals
range. The machine offers three different programs that
can be used independently or in conjunction with each
other to provide the most advanced therapies:
A new era of anti-ageing innovation
After years of research into molecular biology, Germaine de
Capuccini has developed a non-invasive, anti-ageing treatment,
with a formula similar to those currently available in invasive
therapies. In collaboration with Ives Biofarm, The Institute of
Biotechnological Research and the University of Granada, yet
another ground breaking treatment has been created:
Digital Mono Polar Radio Frequency
Using advanced technology and a unique digital
monopolar capacitive Radio-Frequency that
incorporates an innovative concept of deposited energy.
EGF + HA Formula Facial Ultra-Regenerating Complex
Vacuum Push-Pull Therapy
Innovative and exclusive digital technology with a
“push-pull effect”. It’s innovation lies in the combination
of a single head with a simultaneous vacuum and
pressing on the tissue.
Digital Transdermal Induction
Advanced digital transdermal technology that
guarantees the non-invasive penetration of ingredients
in the desired depth plane: epidermis, dermis,
subdermis, using piezo-electric and resonating effect.
Containing Epidermal Growth Factor and highly concentrated
Hyaluronic Acid, the complex stimulates natural cell
regeneration to improves all problems related to ageing skin:
• Volume, length and depth of wrinkles considerably reduced
• Facial oval is redefined with skin more supple and firm
• Dull skin is revitalised providing instant luminosity
• Pigmentation marks are reduced
• Epidermis is strengthened and skin thickness improved
• Overall texture of the skin is refined
Due to a breakthrough in the way our EGF formula is contained,
the concentration is much higher than anything that exists in
the skincare market today. This combined with the application
using our DTI machine makes this treatment incomparable to
any other professional treatment.
With 9 / 10 woman choosing our EGF + HA treatment over
invasive ones*, you can tap into a higher end market.
*Tested on 20 women aged 44-66.
