New from Dermalogica! Pro Biocellulose Cooling Masque

The aesthetics industry has seen many advancements over recent years, with a drive for more advanced procedures and more invasive procedures at the helm. Whilst, as aestheticians, we know we can achieve great results for our clinic guests, we also need to consider the comfort of those guests as well.

The skin undergoes a series of physiological responses in the process of self-repair and rejuvenation. These responses, driven by the skin’s natural repair properties, encompass several key factors:

Inflammation: Post-procedure, the skin’s immune system begins an inflammatory response. This plays an important role in initiating the reparative phase of tissue healing. Signs of redness, swelling, heat and discomfort can also be present.

Erythema (Redness): A surge in localized blood flow rushes to the treated area with essential nutrients and oxygen, critical for tissue regeneration. This superficial reddening can appear as flushing and be a visible indicator on some skin tones of the dilation of blood capillaries.

Desquamation (Peeling): The epidermis begins the process of renewal, characterized by the shedding of damaged superficial cells and the generation of new, healthier ones. This process may manifest as peeling or flaking.

Sensitivity: The post-treatment skin experiences heightened sensitivity and vulnerability. This is attributed to the temporary removal of the damaged stratum corneum, leaving the underlying skin exposed and susceptible to external irritants.

Dryness and Dehydration: Often advanced services may temporarily disrupt the skin’s natural barrier function, leading to dehydration and temporary dryness. By restoring the skin’s moisture-retaining barrier properties this can help provide optimal healing and comfort.

Dermalogica PRO is excited to welcome its latest addition - Biocellulose Cooling Masque. This professional-grade masque provides a comforting feeling of coolness and smoothness thanks to its excellent water-holding capacity and structure.

This cooling and hydrating masque creates a hydrophilic barrier to help comfort skin while providing a long-lasting cooling sensation. This masque’s bio-cellulose is coated with Hyaluronic Acid and made from coconut extract. The masque is then saturated in a 20mL serum rich in Vitamin B5, a powerful skin hydrator, to help restore the skin’s barrier.

It is the perfect companion to your advanced services that may leave the skin in a state of inflammation, dehydration or general sensations of warmth or heat such as IPL, microneedling, chemical peels, and dermaplaning.

There are many professional sheet masques in the market but what makes this one different?

Superior Adherence: Fits snugly, ensuring optimal ingredient absorption. Unlike sheet masks, they offer even application.

High Moisture Retention: The material retains more serum, deeply hydrating the skin and improving texture and radiance.

Cooling Comfort: Provides a comfortable cooling sensation, making it an ideal post-treatment.

Biocompatible & Gentle: Derived from microbial fermentation.

Ingredient Delivery: The porous structure allows for deep penetration, intensifying the treatment. Unlike sheet masks, biocellulose helps the delivery of active ingredients to the surface of the skin.

Eco-Friendly: Biocellulose is biodegradable, making it an environmentally conscious choice key ingredients include:

• Isopulegol is a natural cooling agent that produces a pleasant cooling sensation.

• Hyaluronic Acid is a well-known humectant with high water-binding capacity, making it a great moisturizer

• Pro-Vitamin B5 moisturizes the skin thanks to its humectant properties.

• Madecassosside is one of the powerful soothing molecules with moisturizing and smoothing properties.

• Passion fruit seed oil, rich in antioxidants, has soothing and moisturizing properties.

The three layers of the Biocellulose Cooling Masque consist of protective outer layers and the active biocellulose masque. The outer layers shield the masque during handling and transportation, ensuring its integrity. The central layer adheres closely to the skin, allowing for optimal absorption of active ingredients. This three-layer structure guarantees the masque’s efficacy, hygiene, and safe application.

After your advanced service, Biocellulose Cooling Masque can be applied to the skin. First, apply protection across the eyes such as 2x2 gauze or cotton rounds, remove the masque from the first protective film and apply it to the face, adjusting to the client’s facial contours.

Remove the second layer of the protective film and smooth the masque with fingertips, ensuring a comfortable fit. Leave the masque on for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the type of service performed and the level of inflammation or dehydration.

Gently remove by lifting from the corner of the masque and discard into a waste bin.

If there is any remaining residue, massage into the skin and proceed with the finishing products as needed such as toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen depending on the service provided.

Biocellulose Cooling Masque is available for presale in May 2024, launching in clinics nationally from July 2024. For more information, contact your local Dermalogica representative, call us on 1800-659-118 or visit dermalogica.com.au/pro.
