A treatment room at J'adoreFACIAL COSMETOLOGY
Skin exhausted after acne, fresh scars and post-inflammatory marks, reactive skin that "can't tolerate" intensive treatments, or skin depleted after chemotherapy — these are conditions where aggressive acids or laser can be one step too far. EstGen takes a different approach: instead of "forcing" the skin, it delivers bioengineered colostrum with growth factors — EGF, IGF and TGF-β — the same signalling proteins the body uses to direct healing and tissue renewal. This isn't cosmetic surface "feeding" — it's biostimulation at cellular level: a signal for skin to accelerate its own repair.
At J'adore Instytut, the treatment is performed by an experienced cosmetologist. Below you'll find everything worth knowing before your first visit.

How it works
EstGen is based on bioengineered colostrum — the first milk mammals produce, which nature "designed" as a repair concentrate. It's a source of growth factors: EGF (accelerates epidermal renewal), IGF (stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen) and TGF-β (regulates inflammation and remodels scar tissue), along with immunoglobulins and lactoferrin that strengthen the skin barrier.
The key difference from "a good serum": growth factors are signalling proteins — they don't just nourish the surface, they instruct cells to repair, divide, and produce collagen. With age and after overexertion, skin produces fewer of them — EstGen replenishes this deficit from outside. It's a beauty treatment, needle-free and non-invasive in its basic version.
Ideal for
The women's zone and the men's zone
The most common reasons are acne marks and scars, reactive skin and regeneration — including a dedicated protocol for skin after chemotherapy. Women's skin tends to be thinner and more sensitive, so a gentle version (surface application or ultrasound) is often the right choice. This is classic EstGen for women.
The areas we support
In men, the most common concerns are acne scars, irritation from daily shaving and photoageing (SPF is used less often). Men's skin is thicker and more exposed to micro-injuries, so EstGen is often combined with microneedling or RF. This is EstGen for men.
The areas we support
Interesting fact: colostrum is literally a newborn's first "immune meal" — nature packed it with immunoglobulins and growth factors to instantly kick-start development and defence. In cosmetology, we use exactly the same signalling proteins — just for skin repair.
Safety
EstGen is very gentle, but "gentle" doesn't mean "it doesn't matter who performs it or with what". Three things decide the result and safety, and they're worth asking about at any salon:
At J'adore, the treatment is carried out by an experienced cosmetologist, who first assesses skin condition and chooses the programme — this isn't "applying a cream", it's a protocol matched to the problem.
What matters is bioengineered, standardised colostrum — sterile, with a consistent concentration of growth factors. A "colostrum mask from the drugstore" is a completely different category from a professional treatment preparation.
We choose one version for acne, another for scars, and yet another — the gentlest — for skin after chemotherapy. That's why consultation and a health questionnaire are mandatory.
A red flag: a suspiciously cheap "colostrum treatment" · A bargain price and slogans like "miraculous regeneration in one session" are a warning sign. Professional EstGen means a standardised preparation, a considered protocol and a series — not a one-off mask from an unknown source. You have the right to ask what preparation is used, who performs the treatment, and how many sessions are really needed. A good salon will answer without hesitation and won't promise "permanent results after one session".
Contraindications
Some contraindications are permanent, and some are temporary — in that case, we simply postpone the treatment until the situation passes.
From the cosmetologist's chair
The most often overlooked issue is milk allergy. Clients don't associate a "face cream" with milk, but colostrum is a dairy product. That's why I always ask directly — it's literally the first question I ask before EstGen, before anything is applied.
This isn't a complete list — we'll go through your allergies, conditions, medications and previous treatments individually during your consultation.
The visit
Consultation & skin assessment
the cosmetologist assesses the problem (acne, scars, reactive skin, skin after treatments or chemotherapy), takes a health history, and chooses the programme and version (basic or with Dermapen).
Enzymatic makeup removal
gentle cleansing without harsh detergents, preparing skin to receive growth factors.
Preparatory exfoliation (optional)
where indicated, a light enzymatic or acid peel, so ingredients penetrate deeper.
EstGen application
the colostrum preparation is introduced via surface application, ultrasound (sonophoresis), electroporation or iontophoresis; the intensive version is preceded by Dermapen microneedling.
A mask matched to your problem
soothing, hydrating or regenerating; finished with serum and SPF cream. In the basic version, you leave with no visible trace and can apply makeup.
What to expect
Most importantly: you'll see part of the result immediately, but the real work happens over time. Right after the treatment, skin is soothed, radiant and less reactive — this is the effect of hydration and calming. Regeneration of texture, reduction of marks, and change in scarring build over weeks, because that's how long collagen synthesis takes.
Sometimes after the first visit I hear: "nice, but I expected more". This is completely normal — EstGen isn't an "instant WOW effect" treatment. Growth factors work cumulatively: a real difference in scarring, texture and reactivity shows after the series, not after one session.
Portfolio
A record of the work in our salons — the place where we publish treatment frames and, after photo sessions, results.
A record of results — in preparation. We publish photographs of our clients only with their consent.
We maintain the result with maintenance sessions — usually a single treatment every few weeks after completing the series. Skin doesn't "become dependent" on EstGen — like any regeneration, it simply benefits from periodic reinforcement.
EstGen and your lifestyle
EstGen doesn't take you out of your life — in the basic version, you return to your daily routine immediately. A few sensible rules mainly concern protecting freshly regenerated skin, especially if we combine the treatment with microneedling.
After the surface version, you can apply makeup and go. After the Dermapen version, skip makeup for around 24 hours, until the mild redness fades.
Throughout the course, daily SPF 50+ is essential — growth factors and regeneration increase UV sensitivity. Avoid intense sun and sunbeds for a few days after the treatment.
High temperature, chlorine and sweat can irritate freshly regenerated skin. Sauna, hammam and pool — best left for around 2 days.
Hold off on strong AHA/BHA acids and retinol for the period your cosmetologist sets — especially between sessions in the series. We want to regenerate the barrier, not exfoliate it.
Skip shaving for a day after the treatment — growth factors need time to initiate repair, and a razor is another micro-injury.
Hold off intense training and heavy sweating for a day, especially after the Dermapen version. Walking and normal activity — no restrictions.
