Quiet luxury, which advocates discreet, minimalist luxury devoid of ostentatious signs, is overturning fashion codes and taking over social networks, led by TikTok and Instagram, with the hashtag #quietluxury. Gone are the flashy logos and extravagant styles. From now on, the focus is on natural materials, sober hues and impeccable cuts that look as if they’ve just come out of a bespoke workshop.
Far from being simply minimalist, quiet luxury garments are extremely precious. They come from rather confidential, very expensive brands. Brands such as Brunello Cucinelli, The Row and Loro Piana have made a name for themselves in this niche, and are enjoying dazzling success. Initially, quiet luxury was designed by the ultra-rich to go unnoticed by the uninitiated.
In aesthetic medicine, the concept of Quiet Beauty echoes that of Quiet Luxury.
But what is Quiet Beauty ?
Once the spotlight has gone, models and stars are just like any other people. They too have wrinkles, pimples, pigment spots, dark circles or bags that appear on their faces over time.
In front of their millions of followers, they don’t hesitate to regularly post photos of themselves without make-up, filters or retouching, like actresses Salma Hayek and Selena Gomez, or model Ashley Graham. But there’s a difference between the makeup-free photos published in celebrity magazines and those posted by stars on Instagram. They often appear with smooth, flawless skin, which sometimes raises doubts.
In the absence of foundation, they obviously have other tricks at their disposal, such as filters, light, a sophisticated beauty routine and, above all, access to the world’s best institute treatments and specialists in the field of aesthetic surgery and medicine for a healthy glow in all circumstances. The Quiet Beauty principle is based above all on the fact that all these stratagems remain invisible.
The trend is no longer towards puffy lips and botox-fixed faces. On the contrary, the trend is towards natural beauty, aimed at restoring youthful features (collagen stimulation, tissue re-tensioning, spot erasing, softening of expression lines while preserving facial expressivity, etc.). As a result, the aesthetic doctor’s intervention remains perfectly imperceptible and your face impeccable in all circumstances, even without make-up.
At Laclinic, our experts will advise you on customized treatments, in complete discretion. Our philosophy is to achieve a perfectly natural, subtle result that respects the harmony of your face, your personality and your expectations.
Naturally radiant skin
The first pillar of natural beauty is the quality of your skin. A healthy, rested glow depends first and foremost on the appearance and texture of your skin. Pigment spots, redness, blood vessels and other small irregularities add up and give your face a dull, sometimes tired appearance. Skin texture also deteriorates with age, pores widen, skin loses elasticity and becomes dull.
A precise cosmetic routine and regular facial care in the expert hands of a qualified beautician are the first essential step in any beauty regimen. Radiant skin starts with optimal hydration. Our skin experts offer you a range of treatments perfectly calibrated to your skin type , based on exclusive care protocols from our partner brands Biologique Recherche and Helena Rubinstein.
In a second step, you can perfect your skin’s radiance by deeply moisturizing it with skinboosters. This treatment, based on hyaluronic acid, hydrates your skin without adding volume to your face. Other treatments, such as mesotherapy or PRP (the famous “vampire lift”) are also part of this subtle Quiet Beauty approach to improving the appearance of your skin.
For more complex problems, laser treatments can restore your face’s luminosity. Depending on your skin type, the problems it faces and the desired result, our doctors can suggest a range of techniques and technologies. These are non-invasive medical-aesthetic treatments performed by our expert physicians.
Skin free of blemishes, redness and irregularities
We use Sciton’s latest-generation BBL (Broadband light) laser to treat most pigmentation spot problems, as well as redness, without any social eviction. Its only constraint is the need to apply sun protection before and after treatment. It improves skin tone harmony and luminosity, allowing you to go makeup-free if you wish.
If skin texture needs to be treated in a more specific way, Sciton’s HALO hybrid fractional ablative laser is the ultimate high-tech solution. This treatment delivers superb results on skin texture. It does, however, require a few days’ social avoidance, depending on the intensity of the treatment.
Our before-and-after laser treatments
How can skin tone and laxity be improved without surgery?
Over time, skin loses tone, becomes slack and the collagen mesh loosens. Various solutions are available to restore youthfulness by stimulating collagen production with Biostimulators (Sculptra) or machines (Morpheus, Ulthera).
These innovative, minimally or non-invasive treatments improve skin tone and elasticity, giving your face radiance and freshness without altering its volume. Their effects are long-lasting, slowing down skin aging.
Wrinkles erased, facial expressiveness preserved
By weakening the muscles that cause them, botulinum toxin helps reduce expression lines, with the risk, however, of erasing facial expressions at the same time, giving them that somewhat cartoonish, frozen look that has given Botox its bad reputation. This is all the more unfortunate as it is perfectly avoidable.
In fact, a subtle dosage of the product can reduce wrinkles without altering the expressiveness of your face. At Laclinic, our doctors draw on their excellent product knowledge and perfect mastery of injection techniques to offer you perfectly calibrated results.
A systematic check-up after 2 weeks is an integral part of the process. It allows you to intervene with restraint during the first session, and to supplement your treatment if necessary. As the sessions progress, your doctor will get to know you better and be able to adapt his or her technique to your particular needs, as each patient reacts differently to the products.
Natural volumes restored
Over time, facial volumes tend to melt and sag. This is because there are fatty compartments in the deeper areas of the face that provide support to the superficial tissues. The reduction in these volumes accentuates the sagging of the skin, giving your face a tired appearance.
The doctor’s art lies in compensating for lost volume without creating new, previously non-existent volumes that give the face an unnatural, puffy appearance. It is therefore essential to address this loss of volume in a reasonable and appropriate manner to obtain a perfectly natural and undetectable Quiet Beauty result.
Like the Dr. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most widely used products in aesthetic medicine for restoring facial volumes.
Quiet Beauty: cosmetic surgery in search of discretion
On a more invasive note, surgery is also seeking to make itself discreet. It’s called Quiet Beauty. Many celebrities have recently backed down, announcing that they regret the procedures they underwent. Nevertheless, these stars continue to resort to surgery to beautify themselves and erase their imperfections. However, they are now avoiding overly showy modifications in favor of more subtle procedures.
Face lift
For our surgeons, this means that their intervention must remain imperceptible. For a facelift, for example, they strive to conceal scars in the hair or behind the ear. Recently, new facelift techniques, such as the famous “pony-tail lift”, have made it possible to minimize scars.
Breast augmentation with implants
For breast augmentation, the scar is hidden in the areola or fold of the breast. Anatomical implants or lipofilling give the breasts a more natural curvature. Lying on your back, your breasts flatten out just like your real ones. It’s all over and done with!
A natural smile
A dazzling smile adds the finishing touch to the beauty of your face. When it comes to dentistry, too, the days of exaggeratedly white and opaque teeth, perfectly symmetrical and perfectly aligned, are over. For a natural result, opt for crowns or veneers with subtle transparency to let the light shine through, perfectly reproducing the natural radiance of enamel. Teeth are subtly misaligned to simulate natural implant placement. In this way, your new smile will perfectly match your personality.
Perfectly mastered complexity
Larger procedures, which affect the face as a whole, require perfect coordination between all those involved. For example, the installation of dental veneers will alter the proportions and volumes of the face. The dentist must coordinate his or her work with that of the injecting physician to maintain harmonious volumes and the right proportions of the different levels of the face.
At Laclinic, our different specialists are used to working hand in hand to offer you tailor-made results, combining the most advanced techniques of each of their disciplines, while respecting the principles of Quiet Beauty.
Another unique feature of Laclinic is our long-term approach. We are at your side over the long term, offering you real follow-up over time. We offer spaced-out basic treatments, supported by more regular routine and maintenance care. This will help you age in the best possible way.
