Why the lines around your mouth stay, whichever cream you buy

I'm a cosmetic doctor. It's not you, and it's not your cream either. It's where that cream stays.

Micro-Infusion Skin System: box, stamp and two vials of serum
One box is one month: two vials of serum and two sterile stamp heads.

Almost every woman over forty who comes to see me tells the same story. A shelf full of pots, each one more expensive than the last, and yet every year slightly deeper lines around her mouth, her eyes and on her neck.

She often thinks she's doing something wrong. She isn't. She's just never been told why a cream does so little after forty.

Dr. Marloes Hendriks, cosmetic doctor

What I see in my practice

“After forty, it's rarely down to what's in your cream. It's down to where it stays: on top of your skin.”
Dr. Marloes HendriksCosmetic doctor · more than 15 years of experience in skin rejuvenation

Why a cream stays on top

Collagen keeps your skin firm and smooth. Your skin makes it in the deeper layers, and from forty onwards that slows down every year.

A cream doesn't get there. It cares for the top layer, and that feels lovely, but it never reaches the place where your skin builds its firmness. That's why the lines stay, whatever you put on.

At a clinic we solve this with microneedling or injections. It works, but it easily costs 175 to 200 euros per session.

How I approach it
Micro-infusion, simply at home

The Micro-Infusion Skin System uses ultra-fine 0.25 mm needles to deliver the serum through the top layer of the skin. Here's how:

1
FillFill the stamp with one vial of serum.
2
Twist onTwist on a new, sterile stamp head.
3
StampGently stamp over your face and neck. It takes 10 minutes and you do it once every two weeks.

Why I recommend this

“Micro-infusion delivers active ingredients into the skin without injections. Most women feel only a light tingling. I especially recommend it from forty onwards, when creams no longer do enough.”
Dr. Marloes HendriksCosmetic doctor · more than 15 years of experience in skin rejuvenation

What's in the serum

Every ingredient was chosen because it only truly works once it gets deeper into the skin.

What to expect, and when

Collagen needs time. In the first weeks you mainly feel it: your skin is softer and plumper. From week six you start to see it.

So don't stop after a month. That's exactly where most women give up, just before it becomes visible.

My face looks a good 15 years younger. People are genuinely amazed when they hear I'm almost 60!

Margret F.Verified
★★★★★Judge.me

I've now used it 22 times. I'm already 72 and still I can see a clear improvement in my skin. My pores and small wrinkles have become smaller, so my face looks more cared for. I'm convinced and will keep using it, although I do find it pricey.

Barbara M.Verified
★★★★★Judge.me

I first used it every 14 days for 4 months and now once a month is enough. The lines around my mouth have reduced and I'll keep using it.

Klaudija B.Verified

Frequently asked questions

Does it hurt?

No. Most women describe it as a light tingling. The needles are 0.25 mm, thinner than a hair. Your skin may turn a little pink; it fades within a few hours.

When will I see results?

In the first weeks you mainly feel it: your skin is softer and better hydrated. From week 6 it becomes visible. After three months the difference is clearest around the mouth, eyes and jawline.

How often do I do it?

One treatment every two weeks, 10 minutes each time. For each treatment you use one vial of serum and one new stamp head.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You have 30 days to try it. If you don't notice a difference, you get your money back.

QUESTIONS

Everything you want to know about the Micro-Infusion Skin System™

Does this also work on my jawline, neck and the lines above my lip?

Yes. You treat your whole face: the upper lip, the corners of the mouth, the nasolabial fold, your jawline and your neck.

The area around the mouth is where most women start. The before-and-after photos above show the biggest change there too.

The skin on your neck is softer and feels different. Work there more gently and with less pressure.

Can I really do this properly myself?

Yes. You can see the three steps above, and there's a user guide in the box.

In practice, two things make the difference: shake the bottle firmly for 30 to 60 seconds, and don't screw the stamp head on too tightly.

How often do I do it, and how long does one treatment really take?

One treatment every two weeks.

For each treatment you use one vial of serum and one new stamp head. So a box is 2 treatments, the 3-month course 6.

Allow 10 minutes per treatment. Shaking and letting it absorb take the most time, the stamping itself is quick.

When will I see something?

In the first weeks you mainly notice softer, better hydrated skin.

Around week six to eight you see finer texture and the first change in lines. From month three your skin becomes visibly firmer and smoother.

After two or three treatments you won't see much yet. That's normal.

Who are you, actually, and where is it made?

A fair question, and feel free to ask it. ElleCera is designed in the Netherlands and your customer service is in Dutch.

I find it pricey. Why does it cost this much?

That's fair enough. So let's simply work it out together.

A full-face microneedling treatment at a Dutch clinic costs around 175 to 200 euros per session, and clinics themselves recommend 3 to 6 treatments.

The 3-month course for 99,95 euros is 6 treatments, so less than 17 euros per treatment.

And if it disappoints you, you have a 30-day guarantee.

Can I use this if I have fillers or botox?

Yes, but wait at least two weeks after a filler or botox treatment.

This prevents the injected material from shifting.

My skin is sensitive, is that OK?

In most cases, yes. The Micro-Infusion Skin System™ is suitable for sensitive and mature skin.

Then start more gently: once every three weeks instead of every two, and stamp more lightly.

Always do a test on your hand first.

What exactly is in the serum?

The four main ingredients are the 5‑fold peptide complex, ergothioneine, hyaluronic acid and neroli oil.

Full ingredient list (INCI): Water, Glycerin, Butanediol, 1.2‑Hexanediol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Mannitol, Carbomer, Ergothioneine, Acetyl Hexapeptide‑8, Acetyl Tetrapeptide‑11, Acetyl Tetrapeptide‑9, Palmitoyl Tripeptide‑1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide‑7, Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Arginine, Sodium Lactate, Peg‑40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Polysorbate 20.
