eing in business can be extremely rewarding, but, on the other hand, it can be cutthroat, with competition cutting corners, and it can sometimes make your stomach churn as monetary outlay does not even come close to revenue earned.

With debtors knocking at the door and clients reluctant to pay – how does one make a profit? Simple, there is no room for the soft and willing in this business, become hard and learn to play the game.

Remember if you are providing outstanding treatments and services, your clients will want to come back and rebook, and if they don’t, or are constantly complaining, and are not willing to pay – are they really worth all the effort? I am of the opinion that some clients are not worth saving, and it is better to walk away, as the energy they drain from you would be better served

I am not advocating being rude or aggressive towards your guests. I am just advising that you don’t fight for them to stay but rather let them just disappear into the negative cloud from where they came. You really don’t need them, and as soon as you start to remove yourself from this negative energy, you will make room for more positive influences, and you will start to see your business turn around.

Tourists key to spa and wellness industry growth Tourists make up 43% of customers at spa and wellness facilities worldwide, with couples being the most important client segment, according to a major new study.

The International Wellness & Spa Tourism Monitor 2013 (IWSTM) report, published by the Tourism Observatory for Health, Wellness and Spa (TOHWS), found that single women and groups of friends closely follow couples as the second most important customer group. Families with children, single men and mothers and daughters emerged as the third most significant segment.

The report, which canvased 420 spa and wellness providers in more than 50 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia and New Zealand and North and South America, was endorsed by more than 50 leading global operators – including the Mandarin Oriental, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, The Peninsula Hotels and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.

The report revealed considerable variables between

local tourists, domestic tourists and international tourists. Spa and wellness facilities with family-oriented services and amenities top the destination list for local and domestic spa and wellness tourists, with 20.6% of the former and 21.3% of the latter showing a preference for this kind of facility. Among international travellers, destination spas are the favourite facility, with 15% choosing them.

Laszlo Puczko, the founder of the TOHWS, said: “Operators and investors should consider the type of tourists they are after, since domestic and international travellers are not looking for the same services and facilities.” International customers are the most dedicated to spa and wellness, with 48% believing that spa and wellness is an important part of their

lifestyle, compared to 11.8% of domestic customers and 17% of local customers.

The IWSTM reinforced two key industry trends; the focus on results-orientated treatments and the emphasis on natural remedies and approaches. Therapies based on natural resources with proven benefits were the most popular service across the board, with 24.4% of local, 28.1% of domestic and 28.1% of international customers opting for this type of treatment.

The spa and wellness industry in Europe felt the effects of the continent’s

deep economic recession last year, with the number of local and domestic customers decreasing by 1.7% and 1.2% respectively in 2012. However, business from international customers grew by 1.9%.

North and South America and Australia recorded the greatest increase in local and domestic customers in 2012; with a 4.7% growth in both in the American market, and a 3.8% increase in local business and a 5% increase in domestic business in Australia.

Africa saw strong domestic and international customer figures, up by 5% and 6.9% respectively

Dermalogica shows 67 minutes of kindness On July 18, the Dermalogica team, brand ambassadors and friends joined hands to unite in giving back to the community.

With strong roots in Dermalogica’s joinFITE, an initiative that aims to empower the women of tomorrow through entrepreneurship, the team decided to honour Nelson Mandela’s 95th birthday and 67 years in public service by visiting the Emfundisweni Primary School in Alexander in Johannesburg, Gauteng.

Dermalogica strongly believes in the power of education and the

positive influence it brings to the nation and to people individually. Therefore, it was fitting that on Mandela Day and for 67 Minutes, the team and Dermalogica brand ambassadors visited Emfundisweni Primary School to hand out 1200 stationery packs, educational books and treats without forgetting the most important and special part of the day, the opportunity to sing, dance and play with the children.

The day would not have been the same without the wonderful support and donations made by various contributors: Waltons

Cherie Keating hands out toys to the grateful children.

Stationery, Sandown Motors, Nike South Africa, Wimpy, Barloworld, Fast & Furious, the ProShop and DAMCO. Grassroots Soccer spent 67 minutes of their time by providing fun outdoor activities for the children.

“We have been reminded that through education and through a sense of collectiveness, Nelson Mandela’s true vision for the future of this nation is very much in reach,” states Cherie Keating, MD of Dermalogica.

Ecocert launches international standard for organic and natural spas Ecocert, which is the revered certification body for sustainable development, has recently introduced the “Being” standard.

Specifically designed for spas, this is the first ecological standard that provides a level of control over the following key areas: energy and water consumption and waste management; organic, natural and sustainable product use; and service provision that respects a strict criteria in relation to environment, community, health and safety.

This will ensure that strict levels of quality and efficiency are maintained.

In order for spas to achieve the standard they must meet criteria under the following sections and ensure transparency for consumers and raise awareness on environmental issues: wellbeing, including

environmental and social responsibility; environment; and hygiene and security.

The standard was developed with the help of spa managers, therapists and architects, as well as opinions from independent experts and feedback from users and advisers. Its objective is to allow the end-consumer to be able to choose a genuine, globally controlled organic spa or salon experience.

For products to be accepted as organic, natural or ecological they must be certified according to a standard recognised by Ecocert or the European Commission Organic Farming regulation.

Valérie Lemaire, Ecocert Greenlife general manager, said: “Being is a quality standard, orientated to today’s and tomorrow’s consumer needs. It is the only standard that includes requirements for the respect of the planet, as well as for products, treatments and services.”

If you want to apply to Ecocert for certification for your spa or salon according to the Being standard, you can consult the documents relating to the spa activity and submit an entry form online. For further information visit: www. ecocert.com/en/beingorganic-ecological-spa

Nascent economic recovery and a greater willingness to invest in personal health and wellbeing have led to an upsurge in residential spa projects According to European spa developers. Companies, including German spa and wellness provider Klafs and UK-based Espa and Spa Creators, report a recent increase in spa projects in the private and residential sector.

Alistair Johnson, director of the consultancy Spa Creators, whose residential projects include the spa at the luxury Woodberry Park development in northeast London, said: “The reason we have seen this happen in the last six to nine months is that the type of developments in which we are seeing these spas, higher

residential apartment blocks, were previously stagnant – because of the economy.”

Johnson added that: “As funding is becoming available again, these properties are starting to develop.”

The increase in residential spas is also driven by a more competitive and demanding property market, in which more is expected of facilities in highend developments. “There has been a change in this type of

apartment complexes, it is no longer enough to just have a gym, it now needs to be a state-of-the-art gym with a fully operational spa,” Johnson says.

However, Susan Harmsworth, founder of Espa, which works on spa developments in many different markets around the world, warns developers to consider the viability of spas.

“Residential spas are very difficult to make profitable, unless it is a very large development with year-round occupancy,” she says. “We have seen too many cases where condos or villas are empty for large parts of the year, which means footfall can be very low.”

Adrian Egger, director of the spa division at Klafs, says: “There is definitely an increase in private sectors spas today and one of the reasons for that is people’s wish to stay healthy for the future, as a result of the difficult health insurance situation.”

Open to both existing and potential Anesi stockists, this 7-day trip hosted by Anesi Spain is geared to provide delegates with better insight into the international brand – its treatments and protocols, the country from where it is developed and the team of individuals in Spain that continue to deliver to the global market.

This Bootcamp will also cover training on businessrelated areas, such as how to improve sales and customer service. The cost of the experience is only R25 000 per person sharing.

The actual cost would be R40 000.

Anesi has also implemented an incentive programme for all its therapists, which runs from March 1 to February 28 next year. The incentive is for the therapist who sells the most Anesi retail products within that period, provided that sales exceed R50 000.

Dr Gobac Cosmeceuticals offers exciting career opportunities for therapists Dr Gobac Cosmeceuticals launches its Beautiful Futures programme, which provides certified beauty therapists and soon-to-be qualified therapists with the opportunity to build a strong and successful career, by becoming an elite Dr Gobac Brand Ambassador.

“All a therapist has to do is enrol for the Dr Gobac Cosmeceuticals training course (price on application), and they can start earning money from day one,” says part-owner of the business, Melba Gobac. “For this initial investment, they will receive training, a full set of Dr Gobac professional products (sufficient for 50 facials) and top selling retail products.

They will also receive selling skills and business support.

As a Brand Ambassador, they can be called upon by the company to mentor new therapists to the programme on a freelance basis, which, in turn, adds to their overall earnings.”

“In this way, Beautiful Futures enables therapists to have three sources of income: earnings on facials performed, earnings on retail products sold and earnings from being a Brand Ambassador,” she adds. “With this programme, you also have the opportunity to advance to area manager in the future.” See page 57.

Research show that sunscreen does not inhibit Vitamin D synthesis Researchers at King’s College London have conducted a study to determine whether or not sunscreen inhibits Vitamin D synthesis. With current Vitamin D deficiencies on the rise globally, there was concern that this could be an effect of the increased application of sun-care products.

This study, which was funded

by UK retailer and sunscreen manufacturer Boots Group, and led by the professor of

experimental photobiology at the college’s Institute of Dermatology, Anthony R Young, took place on the Spanish island of Tenerife.

Two groups of volunteers were tested on a beach on the island. One was applied with SPF15 sunscreen according to the test specifications and one without. Both had healthy levels of Vitamin D blood serum at the start of the study.

The experiment revealed

that the use of sunscreen helped prevent sunburn, and, although the synthesis of Vitamin D was greater in the non-intervention group, it was still reported that both groups showed significant increases.

Professor Young noted in the report that the results showed that good Vitamin D synthesis is possible with the proper use of sunscreen in an intense UV environment without burning.

The following B Client retention and loyalty should be the focal point of your business. Marisa Dimitriadis looks at proven ways to get and keep clients.

efore you get over-excited reading this article on how to get and keep new clients, I want you to think very carefully about a question I am going to ask you: “Are your loyal and current clients being rewarded and looked after first?” If your answer to this question is not a resounding yes, then my suggestion to you is to first and foremost spend time and energy on your regular client base – reward them, love them and then focus your energy on building your base.

So let’s look at a few ideas on how to build your clientele:

Word of mouth The most effective and guaranteed method is to use your existing clients to bring you new clients and this is called word of mouth. It is the most powerful marketing tool your business can use. However, word of

mouth that no one hears is of no use.

You need to ensure that your happy clients talk about your business, and the only way you can achieve this is by asking them to talk about your business. Inspire them to comment about your business on all the social media platforms, such as Facebook, twitter, instagram, blogs, and status updates on their mobile phones.

At this point, I am going to share a quote with you that I stumbled upon, and this saying is going to set the foundation for every single idea we are going to discuss today.

Jerry Gregoire, CIO of Dell Computers, said: “The customer experience is the next competitive battleground. The operative word being experience!”

If you create a memorable experience, word of mouth is a given.

But remember, you have to create that experience that the client has never experienced anywhere else. >

Birthday and anniversary marketing This is by far the easiest way to get a new client. Most of you are wishing your clients happy birthday and happy anniversary and missing the opportunity to, first of all make money, second, get a new client, and, third, make buying presents so much easier and pleasurable for everyone. Put yourself in the client’s shoes for one second. It is your birthday next month, you receive a personal SMS message inviting you to the spa/salon with two friends for two treatments each and you get free champagne, cake and one of your treatments is for free. Everyone likes to indulge and spoil themselves on their birthday but they don’t like to do it alone – so wake up and smell the fresh air and offer this to your client before another salon does.

For anniversaries market a gifting idea to your client’s husband. He will not only be eternally grateful for the idea, but you will have also gained another client by making sure he accompanies his wife for this special treat. And, if you are thinking how on earth are you going to get your client’s spouse’s information and anniversary date, well then you have a bigger problem, because if your software programme is not capturing this sort of valuable information for you upfront, then it is best that you add the information immediately.

Bring a friend The most obvious and quickest way to double your client base is by implementing a bring-a-friend campaign. At this point most of you are saying: been there, done that and it did not work. Probably, but I can assure you that you did not run this campaign effectively. So to give you a few ideas on how to run a successful bring-afriend campaign always remember: both parties must be rewarded, not just the new client or not just the existing client. The time of month where you launch this campaign is crucial and how you launch and execute the campaign is just as important. All your staff need

“The customer experience is the next competitive battleground.”

Jerry Gregoire, CIO of Dell Computers

online at www.probeauty.co.za

The most obvious and quickest way to double your client base is by implementing a bring-a-friend campaign. to know about this, how it will work, they need to have a target per therapist on how many of their clients they are going to sell this promotion to, and have a target board in the staff room which is measured and updated daily so everyone remains focused. The promotion must be launched one week before pay day, at which time clients are planning where they are going to spend their pay cheque. So be sharp and on the ball and ensure that your business is one of the cash drops!

Social media My last, and most obvious, idea on how to get new clients is through social media campaigns. If this is not working for you, the only reason is because you are not doing it correctly or not doing it at all, but if you are working your social media platforms you are guaranteed to get new clients. This is a guarantee, not a maybe, it’s how, when and to whom you are focusing your social media campaigns that determine whether you get in new clients or not.

So, after applying all the above and carefully and effectively carrying out the ideas, you now sit with a ton of new clients and the next challenge sets in: how to keep them.

It is time to repeat the quote of Jerry Gregoire, CIO of Dell Computers: “The customer experience is the next competitive battleground. The operative word being experience!”

Your client can get an experience anywhere. It is how memorable your experience is that determines whether your client returns and stays with you forever. How to create a memory?

That’s for another discussion, but no memory equals no loyalty!

Spend a lot of time talking to your clients face to face, the more you engage with them the clearer their needs and expectations, likes and dislikes become, and the easier it is for you to lead your business forward.

Know what your clients want most and marry that to what your business does best. PB

Marketing your year Even if market trends are hard to predict, planning your marketing calendar around seasonal events will always give you a head start, writes Hellen Ward.

Spring might have sprung (at last!) and we can hopefully embrace the summer business to come and relish the seasonal treatments our clients demand once they throw off the winter shackles. Tanning, pedicures, hair removal; all these “flesh on show” bikini body treatments bring business benefits to salons and spas up and down the country. What we have to do is learn to market them properly.

Our business has become more seasonal, without doubt.

The savvy therapist is always one step ahead of her clients in knowing how to tap into their purchasing power and give them what they need before they realise that they need it. As the late Steve Jobs from Apple famously said: “People don’t know what they want until you show it to them”. So it’s our job to plan our marketing calendars way ahead, to maximise every potential retail and treatment sales opportunity.

In the beginning I run our calendar to try to tap into events, but, as with all good marketing, being prepared is key, so getting organised at the start of the year gives me time to ensure we hit the right notes with the right amount of notice. Certain events happen at the same time every year, so there’s no excuse not to create a focus on services and treatments that therapists can specifically promote to boost their columns.

As a starting point, we look at:

Autumn: • March: Mother’s Day – facial/make up package treatments (gift voucher-centric); • April: Seasonal make-up and nail colour trends to tie in with autumn/winter catwalk collections; • May: Winter re-moisturising, rehydrating facials (luxury, nourishing treatments).

Winter • June: Father’s Day – men’s grooming packages, and (Durban July, Youth Day); • July: Winter warmers, massage treatments, body wraps, • August: Semi-permanent manicures and pedicures

Spring • September: Spring rebirth – microdermabrasion/peel treatments (focus on skin care and repair);

• October: Seasonal make-up and nail trends to tie in with Spring/Summer catwalk collections; • November: Get set for summer focus – laser hair removal, electrolysis (longer-term treatments).

Summer • December: Christmas party prep combos and gift with purchase, Pre-holiday MOT – lash and brow tinting, selftan focus (shorter-term, holiday-ready treatments); • January: Detox body treatments – new year, new you focus; • February: Valentine’s male/female grooming packages couples’ massages.

Our business has become more seasonal. The savvy therapist is always one step ahead of her clients.

Our clients are always the best gauge of what is happening in the market place, so the first port of call is asking them what services they go elsewhere for that they’d like to see you offer, then jump on any missed opportunities.

Trend watch Some treatments take time to filter into the mainstream and become a regular part of the average grooming regime, so keep your ears open for anything you may notice starting to become increasingly popular; then survey the competition before you decide what incentive you might launch it with to see it become a regular part of your treatment offering.

One thing is for sure, the seasons themselves are always going to be a valuable part of our marketing, so we might as well use them to get organised with our promotional planning and maximise our turnover, to boot. PB

Healthy Ageing@Dr Gys

online at www.probeauty.co.za

Colonic care Dr Gys Du Plessis answers your health, wellness and anti-ageing questions.

I am having severe problems with my colon, and numerous practitioners have diagnosed me with a spastic colon. Despite many drugs against spasm and constipation I still don’t get any relief or symptom-free days. I am really confused as to what I have to do and what the cause is.

T

he word spastic colon is actually misleading as it is really called “Irritable Bowel Syndrome’, because many of the symptoms are not only confined to the colon, but include symptoms such as nausea, heartburn, upper abdominal discomfort and general bad indigestion complaints.

In fact, the diagnosis is made upon the following Rome diagnostic criteria: 12 weeks of recurrent or continuous discomfort in the bowel with two of the following symptoms: relief of discomfort by passing a stool; increased or decreased stool frequency and a change in consistency of the stool (either constipation or many frequent loose stools). If you do not meet these criteria, it is wise to have a colonoscopy done to exclude other causes and to confirm the diagnosis.

Our colon or large intestine is incredibly important in our general well-being and health. Sixty percent of our immune system resides in the wall of the colon, which explains why allergies and autoimmune diseases are on the rise and do not get any better if the colon is not addressed and normalised. The largest part of the flora (the bacteria in intestines) lives in the colon.

The colon is also the largest organ in the body. An abnormal colon harbours and gives rise to abnormal flora, which we call dysbiosis. The abnormal flora is a cause and effect of a sick colon and should be aggressively treated and restored to ensure normal functioning of the colon.

A good probiotic needs to be taken continuously until the colon is restored, and the colon should then be kept normal by eating correctly and adding soluble fibre, which also acts as a prebiotic, for example: Fructo – Oligo saccharides.

It is very important to exclude food intolerance as the cause of your irritable bowel. The biggest culprits are wheat, dairy, corn, fish, nuts and caffeine. One of these foods should be excluded at a

time for at least four weeks, and, if no change is seen, the next one should be excluded until the causative food is found. This food should then be avoided until the colon is stable for a few months, after which the food can be slowly re–introduced into the diet.

The presence in your diet of possible toxins, artificial flavouring agents, high sugar and trans-fatty acids, as well as certain prescription drugs, should be radically addressed and avoided.

It is also very important to make sure the bowel is free of any parasitic worms or pathogenic bacteria by means of a stool culture and appropriate treatment.

It is fruitless to ensure a normal habitat

punishing the bowel, synthetic chemicals are poisoning it, and prescription drugs are insulting it!

Nutraceuticals and supplements that are very important in maintaining good colon health include: Omega 3 fatty acids, L-Glutamine, Boswelia, Quercitin, Evening Primrose Oil, Liquorice, Aloe and Rice Protein. Taking any, or a number of these, should be under the guidance of a medical practitioner focusing on intestinal problems in general health. PB

Sixty percent of our immune system resides in the wall of the colon, which explains why allergies and auto-immune diseases are on the rise. if the inhabitants are abnormal.

The role of hormones in affecting the colon should also be considered.

Adrenal stress with a high circulation of stress hormones has an indirect negative impact on the colon via inflammation and disrupting other important hormones as well as chemicals in the brain. A chronic irritable bowel is often accompanied by anxiety, depressive symptoms and insomnia. Whether this is the cause or effect at the time of diagnosis is often difficult to say with certainty.

What is certain is that it should be treated and managed through lifestyle intervention and medication if needed.

Re-awakening Africology Spa at The Maslow Hotel offers personalised health-focused treatments that go beyond pampering to re-align body, mind and spirit. Sally Harvey takes a journey to rediscovery.

A

s part of the recent rollout of Sun International Africology holistic spas, this award-winning spa (recently named as Best Luxury Spa Group, South Africa, at the world Luxury Spa Awards 2013) is situated in the new Maslow Hotel on Grayston Drive, Sandton.

The treatments are still based on Africology’s philosophy to assist in re-aligning the body by balancing the endocrine and the muscular system through massage and aromatherapy.

What is new is the introduction of hydrotherapy, steam therapy, oxygen therapy and vitamin treatment boosters that are administered intravenously.

What I found refreshing is that the therapist assesses the individual and recommends treatments tailored to your specific needs, so there is never a one-fits-all approach, which allows new experiences to unfold with every visit.

Renchia Droganis, CEO and Founder of Africology Spa and Skincare, says: “Our lives are filled with deadlines, pressure and stress, which can have a

detrimental effect on body and mind.

I wanted to create a spa environment where it is possible to experience holistic treatments that offer a real benefit to one’s overall health. The Africology spa at The Maslow Hotel takes the holistic spa experience to a whole new level, blurring the line between wellness and health.”

The Africology Spa at The Maslow Hotel features six treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room, rasul, a cold water walkthrough, a hydro-pool, relaxation area and outside deck area, which is ideal for corporate wellness days. According to spa manager Thabisa Jawula, the spa attracts mostly external clientele, which is of huge benefit to the success of any hotel spa.

“Approximately 30% of our business comes from the hotel itself; the rest consists of outside visitors.

We achieve this interest through constant promotions, and maintain it by providing superior, quality service at all times.”

As The Maslow Hotel is particularly popular with business travellers,

the spa menu has a special focus on stress-relieving and balancing treatments that cater for this audience.

In addition, there is a wide choice of holistic manicures, pedicures and grooming treatments available.

For me, what is so true of all the Africology spas that I have visited is the fragrant essential oils that hit your olfactory senses even before you reach the entrance, and how they linger with you throughout the experience, even when you are driving home in your car.

For this visit, I journeyed along the cold water walkway before dipping into the heated hydro-pool followed by a 15-minute sauna, challenging the body’s innate healing ability with hot/cold therapy. These treatments focus on optimising blood flow while ensuring more oxygen passes through the arteries. The water massage of the hydro-bath also removes lactic acid

from the muscular system, offering a gentle, relaxing way to alleviate tension, and regulates endorphins.

It is most valuable when combined with a sauna treatment, which flushes toxins, cleanses the skin and burns calories. The bottom line – your body is awakened and invigorated.

“It is acknowledged that optimised blood flow through your circulation system means more nutrients are transported to every other system in your biology; a beau­tiful way of preventing premature aging, or a decline of cellular activity,” adds Droganis.

A personalised massage followed, focusing on targeted areas according to my preferences and specific requests.

All the Africology products that are used during the spa rituals contain 100% natural, local ingredients, including Rooibos, Aloe Vera, Marula and African Potato that combat the signs of ageing and repair damage caused by harsh environments. The entire range is not tested on animals and is free from harmful chemicals and perfumes. PB

TREATMENT REVIEWS

Natural perfected CND launches Brisa Lite Removable Gel – a breakthrough in removable gel technology that is easy to apply, long-wearing, and easy to remove with zero damage to the natural nail.

Sally Harvey investigates.

T

oday it is all about flaunting the beauty of the natural nail. As such, I decided to follow the movement and went about scouting the market for a product that could perfect and protect my own nails and, at the same time, be easy to remove without any damage. Was this possible? That is when I stumbled across the recently launched CND Brisa Lite removable gel system.

This system is designed to smooth out all the irregularities and imperfection that we tend to experience with natural nails, while still providing a natural look with added durability and long-lasting wear. It can be applied on its own or as a power partner for CND Shellac or the company’s latest addition –

Vinylux, chip- and scratch-resistant polish with seven days wear.

Now, I just needed to decide whether I wanted to apply the smoothing gel system over my natural nails or if I wanted to go for the sculpting gel option for instant length and shape. That is what I have noticed about the CND range – there is a product for each client’s specific need. So, whether you are a liquid and powder or permanent

gel faithful, or you are currently following the trend towards au naturel, the nail technician can offer the right enhancement for you.

I have to admit, I am still very much a die-hard liquid and powder fan. I like the power strength and durability this system provides. The CND Brisa Lite sculpting option was, therefore, the next alternative.

I must say, I was impressed with the resultant strength of this product, not to mention the smoothness, and my nails looked so natural. The best part: there is no more buffing and long removal process – this product is off in only 15 minutes.

Bonus – more time for me. PB

An introductory approach There are still those who remain cautious when it comes to chemical peeling treatments.

As a result, optiphi has launched its Classic Skin Treatment as an alternative or introductory experience to its rejuvenation therapies. Sally Harvey reports.

I

n my opinion, optiphi’s Classic Skin Treatment has all the luxurious comforts of a true spa facial, offering a pampering and relaxing facial, but, at the same time, using concentrated actives, which the range is known for, to deliver results on the skin. Afterwards my skin was glowing with radiance and definitely felt more balanced and refined. The combination of ingredients used also has targeted anti-ageing effects, including plumping and tightening.

The skin is replenished with vitamins, minerals and intense moisture, while the barrier function and integrity of the skin is maintained. Multiple anti-oxidants fight the damaging potential of free radicals formed due to UV exposure.

It is also beneficial to oilier skin types as certain ingredients clear, purify and provide dermal-sebum control.

All the facial products used during the

24

Professional Beauty August 2013

treatment are also fragrance-free and pH-balanced. What I also liked is that the facial is customised by the therapist according to my requirements, to deliver the best results.

The main treatment steps include: sanitise, cleanse, analyse, exfoliate & steam, refine, replenish & balance, restore, activate & nourish, and protect.

The relaxation element of the treatment is incorporated by using the optiphi Restore Massage Therapy, reviving tense and stressed muscles, to give a feeling of radiance and restoration.

This was a clever move for the brand, because, once the client has gained confidence in the products, they are more likely to step up and want to experience more. PB

10 ways to customise massage

Massage is a classic therapy that consumers search for on a regular basis, and will often be the first treatment they will try on your service menu. Sonette Donker highlights ten areas to focus on to ensure your client has an amazing experience.

Consultation This is the most important part of any treatment. If you do not get the relevant information needed for your treatment, you will not be able to offer your client the best treatment and guaranteed results.

For a massage you need the following information: • Medical history – such as operations or medical aesthetic treatments on the body (laser, laser hair removal, or acne treatments). This is important as these conditions could prevent you from massaging a particular area.

• Chronic medication and how it affects your client – medication such as Roaccutane and Cortisone could thin the skin and could lead to skin sensitivity. Cortisone could also cause water retention, making the client more ‘touch’ sensitive.

• Lifestyle – for example: does this client smoke, exercise regularly or follow a restricted diet?

• Stress levels – get your client to rate her/his stress levels between 1 and 5 (1 – not stressed at all and 5 – very stressed).

• Pregnant and breastfeeding – this could prevent your client from having certain types of massage techniques and the use of certain essential oils.

• Pre-menstrual or experiencing her period – your client will be more sensitive than normal and will need a lighter pressure. Your selection of essential oils should exclude any oils that will stimulate the blood circulation.

play this type of music, allowing him/ her to leave feeling much happier after the massage.

For stressed clients, we recommend that you play more relaxing music, which will allow the client to relax even more.

Make sure you update your music collection on a regular basis, as your clients will get bored listening to the same music.

Lights

Essential oils

Dimming the lights or switching the lights off completely and burning candles will enable the client to relax completely. This would be perfect for a client wanting to relax, especially at the end of a long working day.

If your client is feeling a bit ‘chatty’, leave the lights quite bright so that you can keep eye contact with your client.

Natural sunlight is really fantastic in winter to create warmth and is normally very comforting for most people.

Environment

Music Upbeat music often puts people in a good mood, so when a client feels a bit down it might be a good idea to

By performing a detailed consultation before the massage treatment you will be able to mix the most appropriate blend of essential oils for your client. It is imperative that you get this right as it can leave the client worse off. Use good quality oils: rather charge more for your massage and offer your clients quality products that offer them skin benefits as well.

From reception to the bed the client lies on, all adds to her/his experience.

Make sure the temperature of the room is comfortable for the client, not you – it is all about the client’s experience. >

When last did you lie on a plinth for an hour? Is it comfortable? I bet not, buy some foam and place it on the plinth, you would be surprised how much more comfortable it is. Feel the linen on your skin, is it soft? Is it clean? Do you change it after every client? You should! Have clean pillows available to place under the client’s knees and neck.

Training and knowledge

Pressure Ask your client what pressure he/she prefers and check on a regular basis with your client if the pressure is still correct. Don’t ever assume a medium pressure is liked by everyone. Often big male clients prefer a light pressure and you’d be amazed at how some of your smallest, thinnest female clients love a firm pressure.

Movements Do you really offer a variety of massage treatments, or do you just pick all your favourite movements from different massage techniques and make up your own massage, which you repeat time and time again? If so you need to go on some refresher massage courses so that you can truly offer your client a different massage on a regular basis. There is nothing worse for your regular clients than knowing what movement follows another.

Concentrate on areas needing more attention and customise the treatment according to your client’s needs for that day.

Therapist You are the most important person and the entire experience is literally in your hands and presence. You

online at www.probeauty.co.za

need to ensure that you listen to your client and what he/she needs to get from the experience. You have to pay attention to every movement and not drift off into thought. You are a professional and need to conduct yourself in that manner.

Tools You may add certain tools to your massage to keep it interesting for your client, but also to achieve different results. Bamboo sticks, hot stones etc. are often used.

Regular, on-going training is vital for any therapist. Ensure you have the latest techniques and are able to offer your client the best experience.

A knowledgeable therapist is invaluable. Clients often have many questions that they need you to answer. They want to know about moles on their skin, skin tags, cellulite, hair growth, sun damage and muscle tension and they expect you to have all the answers. You must ensure that you know the skin and the human body and how it functions. You must always be the source of information for your client.

When you discuss your client’s concerns with him/her it offers you the opportunity to retail some products to use at home. When you prescribe products for your clients to use at home you allow them to address their specific concerns and change them, for example – a blend of essential oils which will soothe inflamed muscle tissue is vital for a client coming in for a massage for sore stiff muscles, or a sunscreen can prevent future skin ageing and skin cancer. When you address a client’s concerns, they will become a loyal client for life and tell their friends about you. PB

Concentrate on areas needing more attention and customise the treatment according to your client’s needs for that day.

B

ody sculpting machines make use of radio-frequency (RF), laser, ultrasound, galvanic, electrical stimulation and lymphatic drainage as well as temperature-based methods.

Whether you have an existing system in place or are looking to invest in one – it is vital to keep track of the new technologies being harnessed to improve and update mechanical body sculpting methods.

It’s not just about selling treatments and turning a profit, it’s about getting tangible results and keeping clients coming back and bringing in referrals. This is where you need to make sure they know what to expect and why before and after photographs are vital to the success of your business. Simply put, it is not just about buying an expensive system and sitting back, it’s about using that system to its fullest capability to add to your bottom line.

While most body sculpting systems involve very little negative side-effects or painful recovery times; it is useful to research each system by looking at its specifications, clinical trial results and by talking to the distributors.

talk distributors – how has the system been received globally? Are there discussion forums where other professionals offer advice and reviews?

If you have any questions prior to investing your hard-earned cash, phone the distributor and ask for the local trainer, as they usually have a hands-on approach and should be able to address any concerns you have. Each distributor in SA usually has a knowledgeable trainer available to offer demonstrations. These well-trained individuals are excellent marketers with a solid knowledge base of their offering – use this to your advantage and get them to do a site visit where possible. In your own environment, you should be more at ease and comfortable to offer yourself up as a guinea pig for the treatments you are planning to offer your clients.

Says Melissa Eksteen of Radiant Healthcare: “Getting clients to book is easy once you are aware of what you can really offer them. You should work out a package for clients and give them a discount if they book and pay upfront for a course of treatments. Clients need to understand that it is not a once-off treatment as we are working with the anatomy of the body – it all goes back to proper consultation.” >

BODY SCULPTING

On the table So let’s take a quick look at a few technologies deployed in dealing with fatty deposits and specifically aimed at body sculpting:

Radio Frequency (RF) Machines A stalwart in fat reduction treatments – aesthetic manufacturers have been producing RF-devices for body sculpting since the 1980s. From a technical point of view, RF is the number of oscillations or waves per second of the electric and magnetic fields within the radio waves portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

What does this mean? It means RF is the lowest electromagnetic radiation frequency within the spectrum (which spans from radio waves, microwaves, optical, ultraviolet and x-rays, to gamma rays). By applying RF-energy to the body, which can conduct current, any resistance encountered by the energy flow will cause heat to be produced at the site of maximum resistance. In other words, RF-energy is able to penetrate deep into the skin and affect the deeper subcutaneous layers, causing tightening to the underlying tissue structure. It works well when combined with other technologies.

High-intensity ultrasound The use of ultrasound sees ultrasonic sound waves used to break down stored, resistant fat. High-intensity ultrasound functions by generating high-energy ultrasonic waves that converge at a specific location, such as subcutaneous fat, causing a rapid rise in temperature leading to adipocyte (fat) cell necrosis. In a nutshell, the fat is broken down on a cellular level and the body breaks it down and eliminates it. Ultrasound, combined with other technologies, is hugely popular in SA.

Clients need to understand that it is not a once-off treatment as we are working with the anatomy of the body – it all goes back to proper consultation.” Melissa Eksteen of Radiant HealthCare Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) Used in various ways to stimulate and relax muscles, increase blood circulation and rejuvenate muscles. EMS machines work by causing muscle contractions due to outside electrical impulses sent by the EMS unit. With body sculpting, the machine is used on targeted areas along with lymphatic drainage.

Cryolipolysis Also known as ‘fat freezing’, this method relies on controlled cooling on targeted area to break down fat deposits to reshape the body contours.

The exposure to cooling is set so that it kills the subcutaneous fat cells off with no bruising to the skin.

Laser lipolysis Laser lipolysis sees excess fat in targeted body parts ‘liquefied’ in order for natural elimination. By using a fine wand the laser energy heats up fat cells under the skin and breaks it down. It is, however, a minimally invasive technique as a small incision is made.

Show some skin The UltraShape V3 unit from Radiant Healthcare works by emitting acoustic waves of focused ultrasonic energy on problem areas. The machine’s energy transmits pulsed ultrasound, allowing control over temperature elevation and enabling fat cell destruction. At the heart of the UltraShape hand piece is a silver-coated half-dome shaped ceramic, filled with polyurethane.

When electrical voltage is applied to the silver coating, an electric field is created within the ceramics causing alternation in the ceramic thickness.

This, in turn, creates pressure waves within the polyurethane medium.

These pressure waves are interpreted as sound waves and create the ultrasonic energy.

The rounded shape of the ceramic delivers low-energy at the surface, but provides a concentrated intensity of energy where the ultrasound waves converge at the focus area targeting defined tissues at a controlled depth, >

Endermologie Endermologie is a trademark name for a treatment developed and patented

by LPG. It makes use of a device that is applied directly to the connective tissue through a specially designed body stocking. It makes use of lymphatic drainage methods.

Galvanic Galvanic sees the use of electricity to help dissolve the fat deposits that make up cellulite and help to tone the skin. After stimulating body areas with a galvanic device, massage is often needed as manual lymph drainage help to invigorate the skin and stimulate the underlying tissue.

without harming skin, blood vessels, nerves, or muscles.

The UltraShape V3 has an add-on vacuum-assisted RF hand piece. The dual-mode RF energy treats superficial or deep tissue by heating collagen and promoting the production of new collagen and elastin by tightening the skin and the underlying tissue. The integrated vacuum therapy works with RF-energy to increase blood circulation and lymphatic drainage and accelerate the clearance of the liquefied fat.

When fat tissue is treated by the UltraShape device, the focused ultrasound beam is directed towards a specific area within the fat layer. The ultrasound wave causes mechanical disruption of the membranes of the fat cells.

Clinical trials have been completed by treating 24 participants in the abdominal area during a single session which included RF treatment immediately before and after a treatment with non-thermal focused ultrasound. At 28 days, combined ultrasound-RF treatment resulted in mean circumference reductions of 3cm – 3.4cm depending on the ultrasound protocol used. 93% of subjects experienced a circumference reduction of 1.5cm.

Well-known in SA, the Endermologie system is supplied by LPG (Decade Aesthetic Solutions is the local distributor).

This Lipomassage system makes use of a hand-help device equipped with the dependent motorised rollers (Roll-In, Roll-up and Roll-out) and a negative suction.

The ability to alter the direction and speed of the rollers allows for specific treating of problem areas. The skin is gently sucked into the treatment chamber and it is massaged using the motorised rollers. The different roller rotations massage the skin up to 300 different ways – an impossible task to reproduce manually. The Roll-In rotation is used to slim localised fat deposits by stimulating lipolysis. RollUp smoothes cellulite, resculpts the figure and firms tissue.

The benefits of Lipomassage have been scientifically proven, with more than 110 documented studies.

The most recent study carried out

by Professor Max Lafontan for LPG provided results on the impact of using CelluM6 on resistant fat tissue around hips, buttocks and thighs. The advanced roller rotation technology saw the release of stubborn fat increased by up to 70% after 12 sessions.

Real results after 12 treatments with the CelluM6.

Genop has recently introduced Carismed Lipokontur to the SA aesthetic market. Lipokontur offers in one machine both Radial Shockwaves Energy (RSWT) and a fourthgeneration Multi-Polar RF-technology for body sculpting, cellulite and treatment of stretch marks as well as face and neck skin tightening. It is a compact device that uses only a few consumables, and can easily be moved from one site to the next. It is noninvasive.

In clinical trials the Shock, Hyperthermia, Lymphatic Drainage (SHYLD) protocol was used to treat the superficial layer of the fat with RF combined with acoustic waves to eliminate it with lymphatic drainage.

Four monthly sessions were completed on the same areas on 10 women. The results were a 30% elimination of fatty tissue over three months. After four treatments, almost all the volunteers showed an improvement in skin roughness, elasticity, elevations and depressions.

The Viora Reaction with ReLift and ReFit from Hitech Lasers is guaranteed to bring those fat cells back under control. The Reaction system uses a multiple frequency approach to its RF body contouring treatment.

The Core technology features three distinct RF-frequency channels and an additional fourth-dimension multichannel mode that concentrates all three RF frequencies in one pulse.

targets a specific penetrations depth.

The fourth dimension, multi-channel mode travels through all dermal layers simultaneously and treats the full penetration range from mid to deep skin layers.

This treatment restores collagen flexibility to improve skin firmness and elasticity, and by heating subcutaneous tissue layers, stimulates natural lipolysis to shrink fat cell volume.

Reaction also has an added vacuum therapy feature which positions the skin between the two RF electrodes to intensify the treatment and enable deeper penetration of RF energy in larger areas.

Cellulite and circumferential reduction (inch loss) is achieved by heating the subcutaneous tissue layers which build collagen fibres that strengthen the dermis against invasion of adipocytes and stimulate lipolysis to shrink fat cell volume, at the same time enhancing blood circulation throughout the treatment area.

Combining multiple frequencies with vacuum therapy further intensifies treatment and facilitates deeper tissue penetration allowing for effective cellulite treatment, circumferential reduction and skin tightening all at the same time. Reaction encourages the production of collagen and restores collagen flexibility to improve the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

The Coax Med (standing model) and Fusio Med (table top model) units are imported from Italy and distributed

by Technolase in SA. The machine offers six different technologies including ultrasound, mono-polar RF, bi-polar RF, vacuum massage for lymphatic drainage, vacuum and RF, and vacuum and cryo-technology. The combination of different technologies works in synergy to stimulate the body’s natural response to eliminate excess fat, improve blood circulation, improved lymphatic drainage, skin tightening and new collagen production.

Clinical trials using 60 volunteers who each received seven treatments – one every 10 days – as well as drainage sessions after each treatment with the combined endomassage-cryoaction system, showed excellent results. The trials proved that a single treatment resulted in circumference reduction of 1.5cm and the seven-treatment protocol resulted in an 8.9cm average reduction (ranging from 2cm at the ankle level to 15cm at the waist level).

BTL Medical SA imports and distributes the Exillis machines using RF and ultrasound technology. The ‘magic’ behind the treatments is the heat which must be delivered to the correct depth in the tissue.

Exilis uses cooling of the tip and thus with the cooling On it “pushes“ the heat deeper into the tissue, however the heat is tolerable. In vitro studies show that you can heat a fat layer of up to 5cm to the required therapeutic temperature. While the cooling is off, the patients are more sensitive to the heat, the heat stays only on the surface causing the desired thermic shock to the collagen which remodels and tightens the skin.

Important in both slimming and skin tightening are the three Ts – temperature, time and treatment. The therapist needs to reach the therapeutic temperature, the temperature must be kept for a certain period of time and the treatment must be tolerable.

BTL also distributes the X-Wave to treat cellulite, scars, stretch marks and to skin tightening. It is a body machine only and can be used in combination with Exilis and makes use of acoustic waves that are extremely strong nonfocused sound pulses that induce vibration within the body. In aesthetic medicine, the acoustic radial soft waves were successfully modified to the clinical needs of cellulite therapy and for the treatment of other aesthetic conditions. Oscillating acoustic waves induce vibration in connective tissue.

The tissue relaxes and tightens. The firmness and elasticity of the dermis increases and blood circulation and collagen production is significantly stimulated.

Clients generally experience improvement in the skin’s texture and elasticity. PB

New technology for successful body contouring Body contouring is a procedure that contours the body into a desirable shape by means of removing unwanted fat in some areas and the firming and lifting of tissue in other areas.

T

he least effective and skin through Frequency.

invasive yet extremely breakdown of fat cells tightening is achieved cavitation and Radio

Cavitation Cavitation is the result of low frequency ultrasound.

The lower the frequency, the deeper the penetration. Some very effective treatments use frequencies as low as 28kHz. The ultrasound waves create bubbles in interstitial fluids, which gradually expand and implode at a certain volume. As the membranes of fat cells do not have the structural capacity to withstand the vibrations, the effect of cavitation easily breaks them, while sparing the vascular, nervous and muscular tissue.

After disruption of adipose cells, the fat in the form of triglycerides is released into the interstitial fluid between the cells, where they are enzymatically metabolised to glycerol and free fatty acids. Watersoluble glycerol is absorbed by the circulatory system and used as an energy source, whereas the insoluble free fatty acids are transported to the liver and processed as fatty acids.

Radio Frequency Radio Frequency (RF) entails the useof alternating currents (AC) at high frequencies (best operative between 0.31MHz) to tone tissue. By applying RF energy to the body, any resistance encountered by the energy flow will cause heat. The bonds within the collagen helix structure are sensitive to heat, which causes some of them to break. Destruction of this 3-D structure results in its contraction and thus causes tightening of the skin. The long term effect of the heat causes mechanical damage to the fibroblasts which respond with the synthesis of new collagen and elastin. Working at the appropriate wavelengths (300-400kHz), RF is also able to reach adipose tissue and increase fat metabolism.

Body active Provence Cosmetics’ Biominceur body-contouring treatment, which is already well-known throughout Europe, the UK and USA, is gaining attention in SA. Sally Harvey went to see whether this treatment meets its claims.

W

hen I was invited to review this body wrap, I must say I was extremely intrigued.

Being a sceptic when it comes to before and after pictures, I wanted to see for myself what the celebrities were raving about, and whether this wrap really showed such amazing results, and after just one session.

Not only was there a reduction in centimetres, but the pictures showed an improvement in skin tone and texture.

One of the really great selling points of the treatment is that there is no mess and fuss, which, in my opinion, is a huge plus, not only for the client but for the salon or spa – minimal cost and time spent to achieve maximum results.

A series of three gel/cream products are applied to the body in stages. Each contains highly concentrated natural ingredients – essential oils, plant and algae extracts, caffeine and thermoagents (both hot and cold) – and that is it – no machines, compressions or manipulation of the tissues. Once the product has been applied to the targeted areas, you are loosely covered in biofilm, and positioned comfortably on the treatment bed while the actives get to work. All you feel is a pleasant sensation of warmth.

Thereafter, the biofilm is removed and the final product is applied. You immediately feel a cooling effect on the skin. In fact, you start to shiver and shake, but not for long. After you have been measured and get dressed it disappears as quickly as it came.

These hot and cold sensations are the thermo-agents taking action, stimulating the lymphatic system and helping to burn fat through thermoregulation and induce lipolysis to target stubborn fat deposits and help eliminate toxins.

The subsequent absorption of fatty acids and the transportation fat is

I was told about the other benefits: it detoxifies, improves the appearance of varicose veins and stretch marks, prevents spider veins and capillary redness, and reduces the feeling of “heavy legs”. what also dramatically reduces the appearance of cellulite, which is, in turn, supported with the high levels of caffeine present in the product.

And that’s not all. Over and above the centimetre loss that I experienced – 4.5cm just around my hips, and an average loss of between 1-4cm in all other targeted areas measured – as well as the noticeable difference in my skin’s texture and firmness, I was told about the other benefits: it detoxifies, improves the appearance of varicose veins and stretch marks, prevents spider veins and capillary redness, and

reduces the feeling of “heavy legs”.

If applied prior to exercise it also is known to enhance the workout and its anti-inflammatory properties aid muscle recovery.

For best results it was recommended that I return for between 6-10 treatments over a four-week period, and continue with monthly maintenance treatments thereafter. I walked away with my athome care trio to enhance the results, and was advised not to shower for at least four hours, preferably 12 hours, as the products used remain active for that amount of time. If you exercise following the treatment, even better, as the slimming effect will be increased.

This product is manufactured by Provence Cosmetics in France, which also formulates anti-ageing facials and acne treatments. PB

Shape Shifter Patricia Clarke body wrap combines a highly effective contouring gel with neoprene bandage-style wrapping material to successfully aid in body contouring and centimetre loss. Yolanda Knott shares her experience.

I

have always been a great advocate of Patricia Clarke body contouring gel, because I have seen noticeable results by using the gel in conjunction with neoprene homecare garments, particularly during and after exercise.

The professional in-salon treatment also incorporates the benefits of the contouring gel with the use of neoprene bandage-style wraps which provide contouring pressure, which, in turn, accelerates the effectiveness of the gel. The gel is ionised and can safely be used in the salon or spa with electro apparatus such as the G5, faradic and interferential current, simultaneously increasing muscle tone, skin firmness and blood circulation, as well as improving centimetre loss. In fact, in order to achieve the best centimetre loss, the therapist performing my treatment recommended a series of six body wraps, preferably two a week, in conjunction with interferential current or similar type therapy.

After my measurements were recorded and a medical questionnaire completed, I sat in a comfortable position in a reclining chair, and the warm contouring gel was applied.

This stimulates the blood circulation, detoxes and opens up the pores of the skin and makes them more

I was extremely impressed with an overall loss of 40cm – and after just one session. receptive to the 27 active herb and plant extracts in the gel, which are known to have strengthening, diuretic and stabilising properties. It should be noted that the gel can also be used with compression to assist with the reduction of oedema post-surgery, and is excellent in relieving pain and stiffness after intense exercise.

After the gel was applied, Patricia Clarke neoprene bandages were wrapped around the body in a circum-navigational manner (a spiral overlap) to stimulate lymphatic drainage. The bandages are used to wrap the limbs firmly, allowing the gel to permeate the connective tissue, activate lymphatic drainage, stimulate circulation, and strengthen the tissues and internal organs. As the body is compressed the lymphatic vessels are also massaged, providing vital drainage of toxins from the body. It is important to realise that the Patricia Clarke wrap is about lymph drainage, centimetre loss and body contouring, rather than a “sweat it out” approach to weight loss.

Often specific areas, such as ankles, calves, thighs, arms, and even double

chins, can be targeted, reshaped and contoured with this treatment. In areas such as the stomach, the initial wrap pushes the tummy down and flat, while the second wrap pushes the tummy up and flat, providing an overall re-contoured flatness.

What I was looking forward to after just one hour of being wrapped was the comparative measurements, as I had been told that you could experience about an 18-80cm loss, depending on the size of the customer and their metabolism. As an individual who is committed to following a healthy eating plan and getting enough exercise, I was extremely impressed with an overall loss of 40cm – and after just one session.

Best of all, the wrap is clean, nonsticky, and leaves no mess. So, after my measurements, I was able to dress immediately and leave the salon; my clothes feeling looser and my skin soft and silky to the touch. PB

The success of this amazing body wrap is due to a combination of a Swiss formulation anti-cellulite body contouring firming gel and Neoprene bandages. The compression of the bandages and the active ingredients, strengthening, diuretic and stabilising properties of the gel targets the toxins in the adipose fatty tissue, breaks down the fatty tissue by means of absorption by the lymph duct, so that the unwanted fatty tissue finally passes out through the body. The combination of liposomes, strengthening and diuretic properties stabilise and maintain the contour of the body, helping to avoid a spongy appearance, strengthens the tissues and inner organs.

Corrective cocoon Pevonia Green Coffee Body Wrap stimulates the body’s ability to break down fat, increase metabolism and eliminate water retention for a slimmer, more toned silhouette.

Sally Harvey experiences this cutting-edge cellulite treatment.

W

hat I really enjoyed about this treatment was the rhythmic application and removal of product from the body.

Not only are you aware that you are experiencing an active slimming wrap (a tingly, warming sensation of the actives at work), but you are also being completely pampered. My pet hate with most wraps is the need to shower after the treatment. With this professional experience, you never have to leave the bed. The therapist applies and removes each product in such a way that by the end of the treatment you feel like you would after a full body massage – totally relaxed and renewed. The bonus is that your body’s toxins and fats, along with the skin’s texture and moisture content, are being actively addressed.

So how does this full-body or localised (concentrating on problem areas) wrap accomplish this feat?

There are a number of processes at play: it activates the GST enzyme, which stimulates the desintoxication system, eliminating all toxins and inhibiting lipid oxidation. It is formulated with a breakthrough cellulite-control ingredient, pure 100%-micronised green coffee, which contains a high level of chlorogenic acid (CGA), an antioxidant that aids in the breakdown of fat deposits and prevents fat infiltration, which helps to smooth skin’s texture. Green coffee also increases urinary output by its diuretic effect. A cellulite gel is incorporated, which contains niacin (Vitamin C) to activate the peripheric blood circulation and menthol, which deeply stimulates blood circulation.

My body was initially exfoliated with the Silky Body Scrub, combining the tightening and soothing effect of ingredients chamomile, sale, rosemary and aloe vera with the scrub’s ability to remove impurities and rough skin and activate blood circulation. This effectively prepared my skin for improved absorption of key actives present in the cellulite activating gel and green coffee concentrate.

These two products were applied one over the other on targeted areas of the body, followed by the even application of green coffee powder mixture all over the body.

I was then wrapped in a layered cocoon of plastic sheet, space blanket and blanket and left for 20 minutes, while the therapist performed a soothing head massage.

Once the product was thoroughly removed, cellulitic areas were generously massaged with Smooth & Tone Body-Svelt Cream. TensionRelief Gel was applied to my back and calves, and Preserve Body Moisturiser was massaged all over the remaining areas of body. I was in heaven!

This body wrap is known to reduce visible cellulite if used over time. It was therefore recommended that I book for a course of between eight and ten treatments – one a week, and then continue with a maintenance programme thereafter.

After just one treatment, my skin already felt far smoother and firmer.

The next day, my body also felt lighter and more invigorated – two tell-tale signs of a good detoxification at work.

To enhance continued results from the wrap, additional Pevonia body products can be purchased to be used at home - Smooth & Tone Body-Svelt Cellulite Gel and Smooth & Tone BodySvelt Cellulite Cream with Chlorogenic Acid. It is advised to apply a small quantity of product every morning and evening respectively, concentrating on problematic areas such as thighs, hips, and inner knees. PB

Professional Beauty SA gains notice internationally 2013 1-2 September johannesburg

With over 20 years of experience in publishing and exhibitions globally, Professional Beauty has gained a solid reputation within the beauty arena. In South Africa, the flagship Johannesburg exhibition has grown considerably, attracting great local, as well as international interest, with visitor numbers reaching a total in excess of 18 000 over two days.

T

his year, the organisers have already received notable interest. “Registration figures to date have doubled since last year, and we have seen an increase in visitors from Africa, Europe and the East,” says Philip Woods, commercial director of Professional Beauty organiser, TE Trade Events.

“We are also hosting a number of international exhibitor pavilions this year, from both the East and American regions.

Spring trends forecast Spring is traditionally a time for subtle make-up—a fresh face with natural cheek colour, soft, barely-there lip tints and eyes that are feathered with earth tones and pastels—well, not this spring! Lead make-up artist for MUD International, Sean Conklin shares more.

I

n addition to red lips and full, lush lashes, one of the hottest trends in the spring/summer 2013 fashion circuit has been eyeliner. From classic winged black liner, to blue avant-garde “floating” eyeliner. Eyeliner is everywhere – and sometimes, the only bit of make-up you’ll see on the catwalk.

At MUD we have embraced this trend and have included our long-wearing Black Cake Eyeliner and Eyeliner Brush #210 in our Spring Collection “Garden of Dreams.”

The soft pinky-peach collection was given an edge with the deep pigmented

eyeliner, included to modernise the traditional “Spring Face”.

Cake Eyeliner, The Basics: This longlasting, water-activated liner can create subtle or dramatic looks from a superfine line for every-day wear to a thicker line for more intensity. For an even application, wet the brush first then dip and roll into Cake Eyeliner. For a thin line, use only the tip of the brush and very little pressure; for a thicker line, apply more pressure to the brush. Allow the liner to dry completely before fully > opening the eye.

Create the dreamy look The peachy perfect blend of soft hues accented with a defined angle eyeliner.

STEP 1: Begin with the perfect foundation. Start off the look with a fresh base foundation using MUD Creme Foundation.

STEP 2: Apply the Eye Colour to the centre.

Apply the Cashmere Eye Colour on top of the lid and sweep the colour up towards the eyebrows.

STEP 3: Blend eye colours. Place the Pink Grapefruit Eye Colour in the inner tear duct of the eye and blend towards the centre of the lid.

Then apply towards the outer corner, blending towards the centre.

STEP 4: Using the #210 Angle Brush, Line the Black Cake Eyeliner on the top of the lid, just above the lashes. For a more dramatic look, thicken the line or add a winged angle towards the end of the lash.

STEP 5: Add flare to the lashes. The Black Volumising Mascara adds to the look with more length and shine. The MUD #500 Mini Fan Brush gives you a more precise application.

STEP 6: Sweep the Glow Cheek Colour from the apples of the cheeks to the outer corner of the eye. Repeat for more colour and to intensify the look.

STEP 7: Highlight the cheek area. For a soft highlight, use the Cashmere Eye Colour to the top of the cheekbone and under the eye.

STEP 8: Add shine to the lip. Apply the Cupid Lip Glaze over the entire lip.

About Sean Conklin

As a make-up artist, there are three key ingredients to your career: your tools, your talk, and your talent.

60

Professional Beauty August 2013

• Your tools get the job done. Your talk (and what people are saying about you), bring in new business, and your talent shows up to confirm what you say you’re able to do.

• Do not exceed the outer corners of the lid. Lay the handle of a brush on your face with the handle touching the outer corner of the nose, outer corner of the eye to the end of the eyebrow. This will make for an easy guideline to prevent the outer corners from drooping.

• Add corrector to the outer corner of the eye for a slight lift.

• Always emphasise either bold eyes with subtle lips or subtle eyes with bold lips.

• Use a cup to hold brushes while on set to prevent them from rolling or dropping onto the floor.

• I love freckles as you can either choose to play them up with your make-up (always a personal favourite) or to conceal them. The fun thing about having freckles is that you always have this option.

Colour magic As temperatures gradually rise, so too do the colours for the upcoming seasons.

Sonette Van Rensburg talks about the magic shades.

T

he upcoming colours of the season leave me spoilt for choice; like a child in a candy store, I am completely mesmerised with the rainbow of colour. Like sugar and spice and all things nice, this season’s colours and shades range from the most delectable pastels that will tantalise your taste buds, like colourful sweet macaroons, sugary pinks, luscious lilacs and soft peaches and cream, to cooler tones of turquoise, fresh lime and cyan blue. This summer promises an explosion of the most vibrant, fun shades of sunshine yellow, juicy mandarin and sexy flirty strawberry reds. Own the night and dazzle in bright bold shades of cobalt blues and purples, or take a magical journey into a world with spell-binding iridescent shades. There are even bright neon shades inspired by big city lights and disco party nights that have made a huge comeback, along with candyfloss Barbie pink – not for everyone, but > gorgeous for those who dare.

LEFT: Pronails SoPolish Aquatics Summer Collection features bright yellow, tropical fuchsia, neon coral red, scuba blue, ocean green and bikini pink, all with shimmers of water surface in the sun.

BELOW: For the season, Ice Box features a collection of matt neons that dry to a matt finish, with a touch of glitter and its sorbet ice range – a collection of fun pastel colours.

The spring season is full of transformations, so why not transform your nail look to something a little more picture perfect? The latest New York shows embraced a more sophisticated, minimalist look with soft pretty pastels and nude-coloured nails, which has been making its appearance for the past few years now. On the other hand, Marc Jacobs and Rag & Bone have been showing off some very opaque nails, a far more demure dramatic look with nails completely polished in milky shades of pure white and cream. The French manicure has always been a timeless classic, however at Chanel it was given a bit of a twist to create a new toneddown look, while still keeping it ever so cool and trendy.

Nail trends Nail trends are back to basics, with good old nail polish still being ever popular. Nail art seems to be taking a bit of a back seat and has made quite a dramatic decline, with a shift towards more clean lines and looks that are simple and unfussy. The celebs are definitely toning it down a bit – surprise, surprise even Katy Perry, queen of pop and nail art, wore nude polished nails at the recent Grammy Awards. Nails are short and oval, pretty and classic looking, personally I have always thought less is more, and plain perfectly polished nails can sometimes make more of a statement.

Colour palette Snow White White seems to be featuring hugely along with the latest colour trends for the upcoming seasons. We’re not talking about just your usual playeddown creamy white, but nails polished in pure solid white, almost like typex white. Sounds a bit much and very stark, but recent catwalk trends have proved that this shade is stunning on most skin tones, especially medium to dark.

Professional Beauty August 2013

Classic French The classic traditional French manicure is always a safe option to go for when you are stuck for choice. However, make sure it’s not boring by moving away from the same pink and white or peach and white combination, and giving it a bit of twist. With umpteen colours available, why not layer the colours to give it some dimension, or even try out a combination of brighter colours to give it a bit of an edge÷

Peaches & Cream Subtle creamy and peachy tones are always a popular choice and are a big feature in most of the top Spring polish ranges. Instead of wearing them just on their own, use a combination of various shades in an ombre effect to create a completely different yet still subtle sophisticated look.

Growing Nudes: Nude must be one of the biggest and most long-standing trends I have yet to come across and I don’t see it dying out any time soon. Even Tom Bachik says: “It’s possibly the strongest nail trend I’ve seen in

my career, nails are 'growing nude.'”

With the "barely there nudes" dominating fashion week and the Grammy awards, don’t be in such a hurry to just give these shades a miss.

It is one shade that is a must-have in your new polish collection. The nudes available in the latest colour ranges are everything but dull and boring.

They are rather bold, opaque and, in some cases, feature a touch of sparkle for some added glamour. Choose a shade lighter than your skin tone to give an illusion of more elongated slender fingers. Barely there unfussy pinks looked very elegant at shoes > like Carolina Herrera

NSI Polish Pro Sweet Dreams collection is all about pastels.

Shooting star – a clear glitterfilled option can be swept over any of these colours to create a dreamy effect, or on its own for a bit of subtle elegance.

Fields of Purple Shades of mauve, lilacs and lavenders always make me smile.

They are such easy uplifting colours to wear, like a field of fresh spring flowers. They are eye-catching fresh and can do wonders for your skin tone when you find just the right shade. This year’s new spring polish collections offer an array of different shades, such as pinkish lilacs, luscious lavenders, and even rich amethyst – what’s not to love.

Neon Brights Neon colours remind me of when I was a teenager, definitely not the type of colours I thought I would dream of wearing now. However, the latest ranges have moved away from teenage pop and have become far more sophisticated, making me think twice about the possibility of trying a new look on my nails.

The last thing anyone would like is to look like is Barbie with hot pink nails.

However, the right shade can look quite tasteful. In fact, Barbie Doll pinks have made such a big comeback that Dior even released an entire spring nail polish collection – a rainbow of bubble-gum pinks.

As the seasons heat up, the layers are being peeled off, with pretty opentoed sandals making their appearance.

So, whatever you do, don’t forget about those toes. However, matching polish on toes and fingernails is out for the season, rather use contrasting colours of red on your fingers and nude on your toes, or vice versa.

Maritime blues and a sea of turquoise Pale blue hues may come across as quite sickly, but the pale blue >

RIGHT: Pronails GELLAK bright, natural or even matt trendy nail polishes are set to brighten the summer season.

BELOW: LCN presents its Spring Collection – “blossom sorbet” - four floral pastel colours: vintage rose, soft daisy, I love mint and lilac.

Hot Reds Red has always been a beauty essential amongst the nail colour palette, with probably the largest variety of shades and tones to choose from. Red can be whatever you want it to be, flirtatious and fun in an orangey red, or pretty and poised in a vibrant cerise pink. Perhaps you would rather be sexy and sassy in a juicy tomato red, or perhaps more intense and sophisticated in a classic romantic red.

Red polished nails worn at Diane von Furstenberg were elegant and chic.

Whatever the red you choose, wear it with confidence.

Gelish – All about the Glow collection is bright and brilliant – from vibrant lime green to electric purple and vivid coral.

RIGHT: China Glaze Sunsational Summer Collection goes all out neon with a combination of crèmes, bright pink, mint green, peachy orange, purple and light blue and jellies in coral, teal, rich blue and pink.

shades that are making their debut for the season are definitely heating up, reminding us of beautiful blue skies on spring or summers day. These pretty pale blues have more of an opaque formula, which make them look rather striking after just one coat. Sitting in a salon just a week ago I was watching a nail stylist polish a lady’s nails in turquoise, at first I sort of raised my eyebrows and quietly thought: “Definitely not for me!” However,

once they were ever so beautifully polished, I quickly changed my mind, Wow, it looked absolutely gorgeous, to say the least, but then she did have the perfect skin tone to match this fantastic vivid shade.

From pale pastel blue to stunning cobalt blue, it sure is a bold, stand-out shade in the season’s line-up of colours, and a shade that hasn’t fizzled out from last season. PB

L'Oréal trains new-generation hair stylists L'Oréal, will be launching its Professional African Salon Institute in trendy Braamfontein, Johannesburg, during the last quarter of this year.

Men and women with a passion for hair styling who are looking to pursue a career as a professional stylist will soon have access to this reputable training institute. Its aim is to provide training on all hair types, including Afro-specific hair.

Part of a global network of L'Oréal training institutes and the first of its kind in Africa, the institute aims to nurture new-generation hair stylists. That is, stylists who are not only professionally trained, but also financially savvy and entrepreneurially focused, to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of the sector.

“Many hairstylists in South Africa are self-taught, so there’s a need for more professionally trained hairstylists in the industry.

Keralong launches showroom in CT Cosmetics and Beyond, the South African distributor of French hair and beauty brands Keralong and Beauty Derm, recently announced that it will be opening a showroom in Kenilworth, Cape Town.

The showroom, which is set to open on August 1, will be utilised as both a showroom for the wholesale distribution of Keralong hair products, She Hair and Diamonds Hair extensions, along with serving as a training facility, where stylists and salon owners will be able to take part in and practise demonstrations.

For over 20 years, Keralong have specialised in hairrelaxing and hair care products for the AfroCaribbean woman. This rich and nourishing range has been specially formulated with ingredients rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to help promote healthy and well-nourished tresses, whilst keeping them protected from damage.

One of the main objectives of the institute is to contribute to a sustainable hairdressing sector and to actively address the job shortage in South Africa through offering a high standard of professional training, through creating

financial and entrepreneurial awareness among aspiring stylists and through cultivating the development of more entrepreneurs," explains L'Oréal Professional Products Division general manager, Jane Maclaren-Taylor.

The institute aims to achieve its objectives through its flexible approach to training, which sees a highly effective, yet highly affordable, programme being offered on a full-time and part-time basis.

Wella launches revolutionary colour technology Wella Koleston Colour Crème is a first for the SA market. The range of 20 shades presents revolutionary colour technology, which achieves more intense, longer-lasting colour.

This is made possible with the colour Reactivator – a conditioning treatment that is applied to the hair 15 days and 30 days post-colouring to ensure deeper penetration of the colour into the hair. This gives it a more passionate and intense colour that lasts for six weeks, “Leaving hair

looking radiant and full of luscious shine,” explains celebrity stylist and brand expert, Carl Isaacs.

The “Colour Hold” conditioning technology also forms a protective barrier between newly coloured hair and water, ensuring that the intensity of the colour does not rinse away. This technology has been created by Wella’s experts exclusively for Koleston, to reduce colour fading by 80% in the first six weeks.

Great Lengths Spring/ Summer looks Great Lengths, 100% natural human hair extensions, unveils its trends for the season.

Volume and length are taking centre stage, combined with the undone look with careless casual curls cascading, creating a relaxed natural look. Golden, tumbling locks with waves and curls are also gaining notable attention.

There is also the revisiting of the 60s with a glam take on free-flowing locks. With the fringe back in focus, a harmony of earthly elements and sleek straight edges gives this retro look gilt edging. (blonde in picture).

CO2

Regeneration Carboxytherapy has been said to be the one of the biggest beauty breakthroughs since Botox, with CO2 being referred to as “the miracle gas”.

Karen Ellithorne investigates.

W

e breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide numerous times a day in order to survive. One of the recent developments in aesthetics is to use the by-product of respiration to treat a whole host of conditions linked to ageing of the face and body. This is done by injecting tiny amounts of CO2 cutaneously and subcutaneously into the epidermis.

As we age, the subcutaneous capillaries in the skin become dormant, this, combined with pollution, UV exposure, diet, medication and other variables, affects the ability of the cells of the epidermis to function effectively and regenerate.

On a daily basis the body receives its oxygen through breathing, but the

sulphur content in pollution can limit the levels within the body. Our bodies will first utilise the oxygen to nourish the major organs of the body and whatever is left over will go to the skin. This reduction of oxygen will result in ageing, acne, redness and irritation on the skin. It is said that by the age of 30 years the oxygen levels in the skin will drop to 25%, and by the age of 40 years the level of oxygen will be reduced by half.

What type of results can be expected?

a result after about 20 sessions. An improvement in hyperpigmentation can also been observed post a session of carboxytherapy, even though the treatment is not particularly indicated for this condition,” says Dr Jeanette Mcloughlin, an aesthetic practitioner from Botswana.

Dark circles “We have seen amazing results using carboxytherapy to treat dark undereye circles in many patients,” says aesthetic practitioner at Laserderm Sandton, Dr Natasha Begg-Spiro.

“These are notoriously difficult to treat and eye creams and lotions have very little effect in improving the appearance of these dark circles, which are often multifactorial in etiology and cause patients to look exhausted. Unfortunately, not all patients make an improvement, but over 75% of patients report a significant reduction after treatments.

“Carboxytherapy is one of the few treatments that can successfully treat dark circles under the eyes; these dark circles are generally caused by poor blood circulation beneath the lower eyelid. Preforming carboxytherapy on this area shows a marked improvement in the dark circles and is virtually painless. I have experienced great results with ten treatments, spaced a week apart.”

Breast rejuvenation Dr Mcloughlin says that she has had some great results from using carboxytherapy to rejuvenate the breasts, particularly regarding skin firmness and the improvement of stretch marks on this delicate area.

She claims that in some cases she has had a 1cm nipple lift due to the increased firmness of the breast tissue after 10 sessions.

Psoraisis Dr Mcloughlin says that, after eight sessions, carboxytherapy has also been shown to have a very good result in the treatment of the debilitating skin condition psoriasis. However, maintenance sessions would be required on a monthly basis in order to maintain the results.

Allopecia

MEDICAL AESTHETICS

How does carboxytherapy work?

CO2 is infused just beneath the surface of the epidermis; the body interprets this as an oxygen deficiency and responds by increasing the blood flow to the area along with the vascular endothelial growth factor, which encourages the repair and production of new blood vessels. As a result, there is an influx of oxygen and nutrients into the treated area, and an increase in circulation, which results in the restoration of the cells.

An increase in oxygen also has the ability to improve oedema and puffiness. On a dermal level the fibroblasts are stimulated to form new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid which will have a tightening, firming effect on the skin.

The heated gas during carboxytherapy, at a high volume, will also break down excess adipose tissue and increase circulation to the area that is being treated.

“Carboxytherapy can be used to treat almost any part of the face or body. The effective increase in nutrients and tissue oxygenation, which result from the treatment, mean that any part of the body would benefit from this treatment. In aesthetic medicine, carboxytherapy is commonly used to treat dark circles under the eyes and crepey skin under the eyes and on the neck and décolleté, stretch marks on the body, scars, crepey skin on hands and inner arms, and cellulite. In addition, carboxytherapy can be used to improve wound healing, to treat Raynaud’s disease and other diseases of poor blood circulation, and is often used intraoperatively overseas to improve tissue oxygenation and shorten recovery times,” says aesthetic practitioner, Dr Natasha Begg-Spiro.

Hair loss or thinning of the hair can be common in both males and females during periods of stress and anxiety and as a result of hormonal changes.

Dr Mcloughlin, says that this condition can be very safely treated with carboxytherapy, and that the patient would benefit from the increase in microcirculation of the scalp. “Treatment of alopecia using this method would

work out to be as beneficial for hair loss as using lasers and LED lights, but would cost the patient a fraction of the price,” she says.

Cellulite Cellulite responds very well to carboxytherapy, especially if the cellulite condition is due to a slowdown of the microcirculatory system.

However it does generally respond best to a combination of therapies, as opposed to one singular treatment modality. Dr Mcloughlin says that a combination of massage technology equipment, along with micro-needling, mesotherapy and an overall improvement of the patient’s diet and exercise routine, will show the >

most dramatic results when tackling this body condition.

“Cellulite is notoriously difficult to treat, and we know that not all patients respond equally well to a single treatment. Sometimes different treatments need to be tried to see which is best suited to the patient,” she says.

“Often, a combination of treatments gives the best results to a patient.”

“According to international experts, there are only four treatments which are proven to help cellulite. These are synergie (or endermology), carboxy, manual lymphatic drainage massage, and mesotherapy. We find that most of our patients (70-80%) benefit from synergie, and adding carboxytherapy has given us significantly better results for patients who require combination treatments,” adds Dr Begg-Spiro.

Stretch marks Stretch marks are generally caused by rapid growth or rapid weight gain, especially in pregnancy, and will fade with time, but in some cases never completely disappear. Stretch marks may also be induced by periods of

Carboxytherapy is one of the few treatments that can successfully treat dark circles under the eyes. hormonal change or fluctuation, namely during puberty, pregnancy or menopause. “Stretch marks, particularly new ones, will improve significantly with carboxytherapy,” says Dr Begg-Spiro.

Is carboxytherapy safe?

Dr Mcloughlin says that carboxytherapy is completely safe to administer with minimal side effects. Most patients will experience moderate discomfort and pain on administration of the oxygen along with a crackling sensation in the tissue and a dull ache whilst the treatment is being administered.

With the increase of vascularity and therefore an increase in sensory nerve supply after a couple of treatments it may be necessary to administer a mild analgesic to the patient to increase

patient comfort while the treatment is being administered. When you treat the eye area you may get some swelling.

Hardus Bester from Best Body Skin in Birdhaven suggests that the therapists and doctors are cautious and very conservative with the gas around the eye area.

What age is best to start with carboxytherapy as a preventative measure?

Treatment protocols vary according to the condition that is being treated.

Typically, best results are obtained when treatment is started as early as possible. Bester recommends that you can start treatments at any age depending on who you are treating; his youngest patient is 25 years old and is currently being treated for cellulite reduction.

How many treatments should be required?

Most treatment programmes would entail having a treatment every 2-4 weeks, for anything between three and ten sessions.

The beauty of carboxytherapy is that it is one of the so-called lunch procedures, and patients can resume their daily routine immediately after the treatment. It is a very useful piece of equipment in an aesthetic practice due to its versatility, and, ultimately, almost any condition on the face or body would benefit from increased oxygenation, nutrition, and rejuvenation.

“In total there were 53 member countries with over 1000 competitors in 46 different skills. In the beauty division here were 21 competitors,” Nadine says. “The competition ran over a four-day period.”

Nadine was judged for her skills in a variety of areas from advanced facial and body treatments to nails and makeup.

“The competition was of a very high standard and I did not think that I would stand a chance, as some of the competitors had been in training for a very long period of time prior to the competition,” says Nadine.” It was very tough, with people staring at you while you were working, taking pictures and filming. To try and concentrate with so many distractions was challenging.”

In terms of her achievements, Nadine has the following to say: “We all dream of winning, coming back with gold, but I honestly never expected to win any medal once I got there – seeing the tough competition, but I am proud to bring the

Professional Beauty August 2013

Medal of Excellence back to South Africa.”

Nadine believes she could never have accomplished this feat without her trainers: Mia Margeot at Dermalogica Training Centre, Cuan Kemp from Kryolan, and Lucia Oosthuizen of Sparkle Distribution, who assisted and

trained her in gel nails and nail art. She also mentioned Chantel Rodriques from the Services SETA, who put in hard work with the preparations, SETA, who sponsored the trip to Leipzig, and especially Donna, who selected her and made the whole experience possible.

Fun Day Just before students have to seriously prepare for end-of-the-year exams, SAAHSP invites all to a student fun break on September 20 at Honeydew A-maize-ing Mazes.

So, forget about school and get lost in the fun.

Cost R140 per person.
