Biologique Recherche, available only at select elite spas and clinics in South Africa, takes personalisation to new heights with its Skin Instants® methodology. Biologique Recherche - South Africa

This approach recognises that skin is not static but a living, evolving organ shaped by internal and external factors. Although diagnostic tools exist in skincare, this system stands apart for the way it integrates advanced skin measurements into the brand’s bespoke protocols.

Through the Skin Instant® Lab, your skin is analysed in detail to create a treatment and homecare plan designed entirely around you.

And best of all, because it is supported by Biologique Recherche’s global database, the recommendations are precise and adapt as your Skin Instant® changes over time. Wherever in the world you receive Biologique Recherche treatments, your personalised plan is securely stored and seamlessly accessible.

The skin barrier has become one of the most talked-about topics in skincare, but its importance extends far beyond trends and social media buzz.

In this article, dermatologist Dr Vanessa Lapiner explains why a healthy barrier is the foundation for every aesthetic treatment - from lasers and peels to injectables. She shares practical insights on how to strengthen, protect, and repair the barrier before and after procedures to achieve safer, more predictable results.

“The skin barrier is not a bystander; it’s the central player in every aesthetic intervention. Protect it before, support it after, and you’ll improve your results far beyond what any device or needle can achieve alone”
