Babor Luxury Facial (Doctor Babor)

Esthea Medical's signature cosmetic facial uses Babor, the German professional skincare house, working primarily with its highest line — Doctor Babor, whose 'no needles, no scalpels' philosophy brings medical-grade actives into cosmetic treatment. The 90-minute protocol is comprehensive: skin diagnostics, makeup removal, peeling, deep cleansing with an ultrasonic spatula, application of a serum matched to the skin type, facial massage, mask, finishing cream and eyebrow shaping. Performed by Veronika Tamborová, the clinic's dedicated BABOR specialist, from 1,490 Kč.

Babor is one of Germany's longest-established professional cosmetic manufacturers, supplying salon-exclusive formulations since 1956. The Doctor Babor range used at Esthea Medical sits at the top of the brand's hierarchy — a 'cosmeceutical' line developed with dermatological input that approaches medical skincare in active concentrations while remaining entirely non-invasive: its stated credo is 'without needles and scalpels'. Formulations rely on innovative, highly effective recipes built from natural and highly active substances, free of parabens. **The full protocol (~1.5 hours):** 1. *Skin diagnostics* — the therapist assesses skin type, hydration, sensitivity and concerns to select products for every subsequent step. 2. *Makeup removal* — typically with Babor's signature two-phase deep cleansing. 3. *Peeling* — enzymatic or mechanical exfoliation to clear dead surface cells. 4. *Ultrasonic spatula cleansing* — a vibrating ultrasonic blade loosens and lifts impurities, sebum and blackheads from the pores gently, without the squeezing and redness of manual extraction. 5. *Active serum* — a concentrated Doctor Babor ampoule or serum matched to the diagnosed skin needs (hydration, calming, lifting, brightening). 6. *Facial massage* — boosts circulation and lymph flow, relaxes facial muscles, and works the actives into the skin. 7. *Mask* — type-matched mask to seal in the treatment. 8. *Finishing cream* — day or night care to protect the renewed skin. 9. *Eyebrow shaping* — included to complete the groomed result. **Who it suits:** Anyone wanting a thorough, relaxing, professionally executed deep-cleansing and skin-conditioning facial — whether as regular skin maintenance between medical aesthetic procedures, recovery-friendly care for sensitive skin, or simply a 90-minute restorative ritual. Because every product step is selected after diagnostics, the treatment adapts equally to dry, oily, combination, reactive or mature skin. **Frequency:** As a maintenance treatment, every 4–8 weeks aligns with the skin's natural renewal cycle. The treatment combines well with the clinic's medical procedures — many clients alternate Babor facials with stronger treatments such as BioRePeel or Lumecca.
