The Science of Skin Renewal: Beauty & Health Talk by Premium Medical Circle x Breuninger in Munich

How does our skin change over the course of life? What role do collagen, cell regeneration, and modern active ingredients really play? And how much science is actually behind modern skincare today?

These questions were addressed last night at the Beauty & Health Talk by Premium Medical Circle together with Breuninger and beauty partner Bioeffect at the Breuninger Flagship Store in Munich. The invited guests experienced an entertaining and informative evening for the third time in the store's beauty department, which transformed into an exclusive talk location after closing time.

The focus was on a high-profile panel with three experts in dermatology, skin health, and skincare: Dr. Susanne Steinkraus, a dermatologist with practices in Munich and Hamburg and a member of the Premium Medical Circle, Dr. Hanna M. Halter, a dermatologist from Munich and also part of the PMC network, as well as Christiane Lacher, Head of Product Training from Bioeffect. The evening was once again moderated by Karolin Kandler.

Skin Renewal: Between Science and Beauty Trend

Under the title "The Science of Skin Renewal – What if skin could renew itself?" the panel discussed the development of the skin over a lifetime, declining regeneration processes, the importance of collagen, and modern approaches that can specifically support skin structure and quality. It became clear how closely medical perspective, skin health, and active ingredient research are intertwined today.

A particular focus was on the question of what role growth factors play in modern skincare. Growth factors play an important role in regeneration, cell communication, and repair processes of the skin. As we age, their natural production decreases, causing renewal processes to slow down and changes in the skin to become more visible.

Less, but targeted: The new approach to modern skincare

The dermatological experts advocated for a conscious, individual, and consistent approach to one's own skin. Dr. Susanne Steinkraus put it succinctly: "Do less, but do it right, consistently. Take responsibility for your skin – own your skin." Dr. Hanna M. Halter also emphasized the importance of a targeted approach: "Naturalness and healthy skin are very important to me, and less is often more, but targeted."

Collagen, Longevity & Co.: What’s Behind the Hype

The current hype around collagen, longevity, and skin regeneration was also addressed in the talk. The experts discussed which measures can realistically contribute to skin health and how medical treatments and care can interact sensibly.
