Welcome

A

s we were putting this issue together, excitement in the Professional Beauty office was mounting. There is good reason for all the buzz – this year’s Professional Beauty Johannesburg Show (30 & 31 August, Gallagher Convention Centre) encompasses an unprecedented number of events. Just take a read through the list: Professional Beauty Exhibition; Professional Hair Show; F.A.M.E. Team from London Demo; Hair Demo Stage; EOCHB Hair Competition; ‘Educationail’ Workshop; Nail Competition; Make-up Competition; Professional Beauty Network Breakfast; International Spa Convention, Medical Aesthetics Convention; Medical Aesthetics Exhibition; and SAAHSP Seminar. Get the picture? Lots to be excited about indeed!

Anyone serious about the beauty industry needs to attend Professional Beauty Johannesburg to familiarise themselves with all the latest trends.

Apart from the Show Preview that appears in this issue, there are some intriguing articles to read, such as one on the complex issue of how to structure your therapists’ commission, in terms of both treatments and retail, and whether to combine these two targets. The article also raises the issue of therapists who don’t like selling.

“Raymond and I are excited to be working with Unilever, a company with a long-standing history in growing brands and championing philanthropic initiatives,” says Wurwand. “This partnership will provide Dermalogica

with the opportunities and resources to take the brand to even greater heights and help us to continue our legacy in supporting the next generation of professional skin therapists and women entrepreneurs worldwide.”

General manager of Babor South Africa, Leigh-Anne Wagner, explains that a Babor Beauty Spa is similar to a franchise, but the owners pay neither royalties nor franchise fees.

“There are certain requirements that have to be met, such as the look of the spa, which has to be the same

as all other Babor Beauty Spas. The model was developed to create brand awareness and to be a mono-brand store. There are now over a hundred Babor Beauty Spas worldwide.

“Once a client sources a location for a Babor Beauty Spa, we have to vet the property and ensure that it meets the minimum requirements in terms of being the correct location to attract the right clientele. Sibongiseni looked at three different locations and this was the one best suited,” says Wagner.

On the other hand, 10% of you saw an increase in business, due to new products being introduced into your salons.

Forty-percent of you said retail business was up this month; one salon has attributed this to a new product that is favoured by their clientele. Sixty-percent of you said that retail business was down and believe that the economy has once again been the reason for this.

Ask the experts Our beauty experts answer an array of questions about every aspect of running a successful salon or spa business.

How do I apply the Consumer Protection Act to my booking confirmation procedure?

T

his is something that I feel the beauty and hair industries do not take into account, or know enough about, when their clients make bookings. As we are in a service industry the Consumer Protection Act applies to us. How many times has your business had last-minute cancellations that you cannot fill, and therefore income is lost? Or someone simply did not show up for their booking?

We are entitled as businesses, according to the Consumer Protection Act, to charge a reasonable fee for a cancellation within a certain timeframe. (The standard is a 24hour advance cancellation notice period). Yes the Consumer Protection Act protects the consumer, but did you know it also protects you as a business?

I would suggest you get a userfriendly copy of the Act on email, and then decide on a standard booking procedure. Here is an example that can be personalised for your specific needs: Ask for the client’s details, such as contact number, name & surname, email address, when they make a booking, as well as possibly a credit card number to secure the booking – this is mainly for when someone books a full-day package. If you don’t take a credit card number/info, as this can be a bit tricky to get, rather state that a cancellation fee will be added

onto their next booking and you will send them your policy via e-mail.

I would train your receptionist to let the client know about your cancellation policy: “Sir, we have a 24hour cancellation policy; please note that to cancel you need to do so 24 hours before your booking or you will be liable for a 50% payment.”

Have a standard procedure in place to send a cancellation message to your clients 24 hours before their appointment. Example: “Dear Valued Client, please note should you wish to cancel your appointment, you would need to do so 24 hours in advance, to avoid a cancellation charge being applied to your next booking.” This can be traced for proof of notification to the client.

Send a booking confirmation e-mail which states your booking procedure and cancellation policy. If you state ‘payment up-front’, then you need to make the client aware that they will forfeit this if they do not cancel in time.

I prefer sending a booking confirmation letter that gets a read

receipt as proof of notification of the cancellation policy, but if you record your calls this will also work, or SMS with your salon software as you receive proof that the SMS has been sent. As long as you have a standard procedure and make the client aware of the cancellation policy that applies, you have every right to enforce this law as per the Consumer Protection Act. PB

Let’s zone into Twitter Before you sigh and think: ‘Oh no, another social media network! ’ go and have a look at Twitter. It is probably the most important marketing tool at your fingertips, writes Debbie Merdjan.

T

witter costs you nothing and, used correctly, can be the most effective marketing tool to promote your brand.

How does it work?

First, sign up. Do this under your own name or the name of your business, depending on what you want to promote. @YourSpaName is a good example of what to use as your Twitter handle.

Create a bio, which needs to be short, and keep it thoughtful, descriptive and professional. Upload a profile image, your spa or salon logo is a good option here, or even a mashup of your team and your logo. Lastly, don’t forget to include your website address.

Then – and Twitter will guide you – go and follow people in the same business as you. If you’re reading this, you are in the beauty business, so go to the search box and type in Beauty South Africa (or similar) and Twitter will suggest a whole lot of people to follow. Do this daily, build the amount of people you follow, and slowly they will follow you back.

That is the aim – you want to connect with people who are interested in beauty, people who will come and

support you, have treatments at your salon or spa and who will become clients.

And then tweet. Every day, once, twice or as often as you like as you want to keep your followers interested, but you don’t want to bore them. Post tweets that are relevant to your business – perhaps a special that you are offering or an amazing new nail polish. Tweet photos and videos; followers always appreciate helpful tips and information. Keep it short and to the point. Twitter forces you do this – 140 characters is the max. If you’d like to include a website URL in your tweet, shorten it with Bitly www.bitly. com to save character space.

Example tweets It’s nearly summer! Think about a fabulous body scrub at @YourSpaName. Book today with Anne – 011 555 3232.

See how short tweets are, but totally to the point.

If your clients are on Twitter, encourage them to tweet about their spa experience. Example: Oh my gosh, hot stone massage with Suzie @YourSpaName was just divine! #massage It is important to remember that Twitter is a two-way street. You need

Professional Beauty August 2015

to work at building relationships on Twitter. Retweet other people, acknowledge their tweets, and interact with users as much as possible. As service excellence is of utmost importance in your business, so is the quality of service you give on social media. Always reply promptly to feedback, whether it be positive or negative.

Keep your tweets relevant, always, but a bit of fun banter now and again is good too. Familiarise yourself with Twitter lingo and the use of hashtags.

If you are having an event, create a Hashtag and encourage attendees to create a buzz.

It’ll come naturally after a while and you will soon start understanding the difference between # and @. Don’t panic!

If it works for them, it will work for you if used correctly. Get tweeting. #goodforbusiness. PB Debbie Merdjan is CEO and founder of the Camelot Group.

She has been in the industry since 1982 and started Camelot International Health & Skin Care Education in 1987, and opened her first Camelot Spa in 1997.

The pay-off As a spa consultant, the one question I get asked most frequently is how to structure therapists’ commission, writes Philippa Abbott.

T

he thinking behind the answer definitely fluctuates as our industry grows and develops, but also changes with the position we find ourselves in from an economic perspective.

In previous years it was quite simple; therapists doubled their basics and they earned 10% commission on services and earned 10% of any retail they sold.

There were no questions asked as every spa and salon worked this way.

Then the recession hit and things became a little more complicated.

Businesses had to become a lot savvier, both

Professional Beauty August 2015

in terms of how they brought money in and how their staff earned money.

Everyone’s bottom line was stretched and only the strong survived.

The doors of salons that did not heed the change closed fast and furiously.

Those who made the changes realised that they had to drive retail sales up, as the basic facial and pedicure was not enough to keep them going anymore.

The focus fell on retail, and salary structures were adapted to get more out of their therapists by making it more beneficial for the therapist to sell MORE product. The spas became so focused on retail spends and driving these up that girls were even performance-managed for not hitting the set retail targets.

They followed a structure such as this: the therapists had to reach a target

of 40% retail to overall turnover in order to earn 10% on any retail they sold. If they did not hit this target, they earned a lower commission percentage and the manager would begin performance management, as they were not performing their ‘job’ as the therapist.

In the case of them exceeding the target they earned a monetary bonus.

Here are some examples: Below target: Retail to turnover

This worked for most establishments for a long time, but many factors have contributed to this system no longer being as effective as it once was.

The recent weakening of the rand has resulted in an unbelievable spike in international product prices and sky-rocketing expenses owing to such a poor economic climate. We have really had to tighten the screws once again. Various scenarios have developed from this and I could fill all the pages of this magazine with the different commission set-ups offered by the salons and spas and how they play out in practice.

However, I think it would be much more beneficial to discuss the newest trend we see emerging, as, in my view, it is the best solution I have found in many years.

Split Traditionally we have always split services and retail commissions.

just gets the clients in and out and makes sure that they have the biggest docket possible, without a real regard for the client and whether or not they will return. The other team has just shied away completely from selling.

They just resigned themselves to the fact that they are not salespeople, and were happy to just do pedicure and massage after pedicure and massage and take home the minimal salary to which they had been reduced.

This is not what we want for our therapists as it does not develop them individually, it just segregates them into two groups, classed as either a good or bad therapist, not because of their skill or love for their job, but due to their ability to sell products. I would want therapists who work for me to love what they do and to feel able to develop themselves into any area of their job role.

New system A new trend proposes setting a target for everything inclusively. How your therapist achieves that target it is up to them. This allows those therapists who are more confident in recommending result-specific treatments, as opposed to trying to sell R1000 creams, the option to hit their targets in a slightly

different way. They will be upselling their treatments and doing additional services to get the docket price up, not only by having the client go home with a great big shopping bag. The therapist must still be able to do a certain amount of selling, but at least the onus is not only on product sales but on themselves as professionals who deliver a phenomenal service.

I believe this will encourage the therapist to really find out what the client’s concerns are and accurately treat them with a more intensive approach, as opposed to just doing a basic massage or classic facial and then trying to get the client out of the door with a product that solves their problems at home, as if the actual salon treatment has just been fluff.

It puts a laser focus on consultation and the importance of finding how they can REALLY help the client, as well as encouraging them back to the spa or salon for further treatment. If the client is in the market for home care it by no means negates the ability to sell them products, it just takes the emphasis off selling and moves it onto recommendation. It encourages more open conversation with clients to find out WHAT THEY

Professional Beauty August 2015

WANT instead of the therapist thinking: ‘This is what I am going to give you whether you like it or not because I have to hit my 40% retail to turnover target’.

I feel that this way of structuring commission will assist therapists who have lost their way and have become somewhat confused with a salesperson by getting them back on track and redefining their roles as complete therapists.

We, as an industry, cannot continue to lose amazing therapists because they can’t sell products. It’s vital to get back to rewarding our girls for loving their jobs and clients and putting the client’s needs first in order to deliver the best possible service. PB

Secrets to a successful treatment menu

The more compact, easy to read and structured your treatment menu, the easier it will be to use as a tool to increase revenue and spark interest in different services, writes Marisa Dimitriadis.

T

he days of booklet and lengthy treatment menus are long gone, as less is definitely more.

Here is a recommended structure and sequence to your treatment menu. Keep each section simple and to the point: 1. Welcome (spa philosophy and mission statement); 2. Male menu (optional); 3. Signature treatment/ritual (maximum one treatment only); 4. Packages (two to three maximum); 5. Spa sample menu (optional – two or three maximum); 6. Massage treatments (three or four maximum) plus add-ons (such as hot stones, exfoliation); 7. Facial treatments (three or four maximum) plus add-ons such as specialised masks, aromatherapy, steam; 8. Body treatments (body exfoliation, back treatments, body wraps);

9. Grooming services (waxing, tinting, threading); 10. Machine treatments; 11. Company policies.

Remember one thing: your treatment menu tells the consumer who you are and what you do.

Male menu Men are becoming an important demographic of spa clientele, with a steady growth of up to 30% year on year increase.

The common consensus amongst the men is that they are overwhelmed with the range of services offered in a treatment menu. Men prefer simple treatments with simple explanations.

So, if you want to attract more men into your spa or salon I would strongly suggest you have a male spa menu, which is part of the main treatment menu but found on only ONE page, right at the front of the menu. This menu should include facial, massage, body, hands and foot treatments for men.

Professional Beauty August 2015

Don’t get creative with the gents, just be factual and keep the time required for them to go through the menu to a minimum. I recommend that male services be one hour maximum. Have one package for men where you offer a range of services, but don’t attempt to keep them in your spa longer than two hours.

Sample menu How many of you like to try a slice of cheese at the deli before you buy it, or a yummy slither of salami? It’s a great strategy and it gives you a taste of what you are about to buy.

Well, think about it, why are we not offering sample menus of certain services to our guests?

I feel the best way to sell a machine treatment or a specialised facial is to give your guest a sample.

Just 15 minutes where you literally put the machine on their leg, arm or face so they can get a feel for the full treatment. These 15 minutes are the perfect opportunity for you R

26 to sell both retail and a full course of treatments to your guest.

However, don’t short-change yourself and offer samples for free, rather just at a fraction of the cost.

For example, R50 for a sample facial of 20 minutes will get them booking more treatments. The challenge here is to manage the sample addicts of the world and ensure that your guests don’t always just book for samples.

One way to do this is to clearly state that samples are once-off bookings.

Give it a try.

Your treatment menu tells the consumer who you are and what you do.

Menu mistakes A classic mistake I see all the time is the inclusion of prices on your treatment menu. Consider this scenario: a spa has just spent well over R30 000 creating a new treatment menu that is really gorgeous and then the product houses go and increase their prices, meaning that the menu prices must increase. Oh dear!

Keep your price list and treatment menu separate – this way you can change your prices when necessary.

Keep your price list simple and print the menu in the most cost-effective way possible.

Another common mistake is having too many treatment options. So don’t offer 101 different massages, as, believe me, after 12 months of operating, your most popular massage will definitely be Swedish or aromatherapy. So, while you can get a little creative with massages, don’t get carried away.

If you want to add some bells and whistles to your massage offering, rather do this as a special promotion and for a limited time in order to sell them but not an ongoing basis. Don’t overload your guests with too many options as they may end up taking none.

Always include images in your menu. There are two types of images you can use: one type is aspirational images – these are treatment images where the guest aspires to look or feel like the person in the image. The other type of image is product images and images of the facility they are going to visit.

I believe that a good balance of both types of images is required for the perfect treatment menu. Guests really want to see your facility, and the more gorgeous and ‘wow!’ your

images, the more they will think to themselves: ‘I want to go there!’ At the same time you want them to feel how the person in the image feels, ie a person having a massage with eyes closed looks totally relaxed, and hence induces a feeling of relaxation in the potential guest reading your menu.

Soften the tone of your menu.

I find so many treatment menus have the word ‘NO’ or ‘PROHIBITED’ included in them as in, for example, ‘NO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 15 ALLOWED’. This sounds really harsh, so rather change the tone and say ‘CHILDREN OVER THE AGE OF 15 WELCOME’. Similarly, the words ‘NUDITY PROHIBITED’ can be replaced by ‘PLEASE MAKE USE OF YOUR SWIMSUITS IN THIS AREA’.

Keep your terms, conditions and policies to the end of the menu.

People don’t like to be reminded of the rules of anything, let alone the rules attached to the glorious, relaxing experience they are about to receive.

It’s absolutely imperative that you include conditions and policies in your menu, but keep them to the back of the menu.

Legible font on the treatment menu: there is nothing worse than a fancy font that you cannot read properly or a font that is so small you can hardly

Professional Beauty August 2015

read it. Take caution and ensure your font is clear and legible.

Keeping it fresh Update your menu at least once a year.

Your guests’ needs will change and so too should your menu. I recommend a menu update at least once a year and who better to update your menu than your loyal clientele. While you cannot be everything to everyone, you can easily conduct a survey to see what the general consensus is for the changes you want to make.

Pull reports to get valuable information on the effectiveness of treatments. For example: top 10 treatments by value, bottom 10 treatments by value, most popular treatments in terms of quantity booked and least popular treatments.

Measure how well your packages are selling and maybe reduce the number of packages you offer. Once you have this information, adjust your treatment menu accordingly. PB

A ‘graceful’ space The Spa at Cape Grace in Cape Town recently enjoyed an exciting ‘refashioning’, writes Joanna Sterkowicz.

S

ituated on the top floor of the Cape Grace Hotel, the Spa is framed by the iconic Cape Town landmarks – Table Mountain and Signal Hill – as well as a working harbour and an international yacht marina.

Spa manager Taryn Lilley explains that, instead of a full refurbishment, they chose to refresh only certain areas of the spa, so as to enhance the guest experience and to assist operationally.

“Our main addition was to improve our hydrotherapy offering and we did this with the Neoqi Energy Cocoon, which performs a range of 12 different hydrotherapy services that we have incorporated into our menu.

“We also added a deluxe manicure and pedicure station, and more seating was added for consultation purposes.

This was in addition to a dedicated relaxation space for our guests.

“Our reception area was refreshed with additional retail space and a

Professional Beauty August 2015

dedicated Skin Bar/experience table was included for guests to experience our products and to receive complimentary skin consultations,” says Lilley.

She notes that in terms of fabrics and furnishings, the spa drew inspiration from the cool, shimmering waters surrounding it on both sides.

“To complement the overall style, we looked to the people and cultures of Southern Africa, our abundant flora and our Cape heritage.”

29 Hydrotherapy The spa boasts several other hydrotherapy facilities in addition to the Neoqi Cocoon: infrared steam/aroma sauna, hydrotherapy treatment bath, Vichy shower and vibrating sauna.

The latter combines chromotherapy (colour therapy) with infrared aroma sauna/steam and a choice of either relaxing or toning vibromassage.

Spa at a glance Owner: Cape Grace Hotel Opened: 2003 Size: 270m2 Hydro facilities: Neoqi Energy Cocoon; infrared steam/aroma sauna; hydrotheraphy treatment bath; vibrating sauna; Vichy shower Number of treatment rooms: 5 (including a couple’s therapy room) Number of full-time therapists: 6 (and 1 hairstylist) Brands: Kalahari; QMS Medicosmetics; Comfort Zone

Passionate offering Lilley believes that what sets this spa aside from other hotel spas is its staff and their attention to detail.

She continues: “Our therapists are truly passionate about what they can offer, which translates into a firstclass treatment experience.”

QMS Medicosmetics, Comfort Zone and Kalahari are the three main treatment brands on offer at the Spa. “We decided to bring in Kalahari as a local brand offering especially for our international guests to experience a taste of Africa, while supporting our local trade,” says Lilley. “Having the mix of QMS Medicosmetics as a focused anti-aging collagen facial, along with the botanical and ‘ritual experience’ element of the Comfort Zone range, we feel gives a good balance to our treatment offering.”

The Spa’s signature body treatment is The Kalahari Rolling Sands Massage. Inspired by the textures and theme of the Namibian desert, this full body massage, using personalised fragranced oil, draws on signature movements to release tension and relax the muscles and mind.

The Spa at Cape Grace was judged Top Hotel Spa for Africa & Middle East at the 2014 World Travel & Leisure World’s Best Awards. PB

The truth about cats and dogs

W

hat do animals have to do with beauty therapy you may ask?

Actually, I was watching the movie entitled, The Truth about Cats and Dogs, and the scene where Urma Thurman takes a Plain Jane radio talk show presenter into a department store for a beauty makeover.

The sales girl, who looked like a mini version of the drag artiste, RuPaul, informed the Plain Jane that she had pores the size of the Grand Canyon, dry skin and premature lines etching her eyes. After incorrectly inquiring what skincare regime the Plain Jane was using, little Miss Betty Beauty Consultant told her she must purchase the newest miracle cream, which contained rare ingredients ‘that neutralise free radicals in the skin’.

Despite being a very funny scene,

online at www.probeauty.co.za

what bothered me was the glib way a sales girl behind a cosmetic counter rattled off the ‘free radicals’ term, giving the impression that any old cream can be free-radicalneutralising.

Ironically, at thet time I had been receiving dozens of messages from therapists all over the world wanting to know more about free radicals and how to deal with their invasive attacks on the skin. It irritated me that a phenomenon that is becoming an increasing worry to scientists, ecologists and doctors globally should be bandied about as an advertising gimmick for over-the-counter creams.

So I decided to take an even closer look at free radicals and how to deal with them intelligently.

Neutralising free radicals?

It is highly unlikely that free radicals could be ‘neutralised’ in the skin by

a topical cream. Free radicals are very tough, resistant rogue molecules and as crazy as the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. They career in an unstable manner through millions of unsuspecting, healthy molecules, trying to replace their broken electrons by stealing electrons from their unsuspecting normal counterparts.

Actually, free radicals started out originally as normal stable molecules, but chemical pollution from outside sources, positive electromagnetic waves and cosmic rays from excess sun break off the molecules’ electrons, changing them into free radicals. Like vampires, the free radical molecules rush about sucking desired electrons out of good cells, transforming them into ‘the living dead’ as it were. In a matter of hours millions of naturally R

Free radical damage

stable cells, going about their business of maintaining our bodies at optimum levels, become stark-raving-mad free radicals also.

Much like viruses, free radicals are not easily neutralised full stop, but they can be ‘encapsulated’ or slowed down. More recently we have found ways to stop them from forming in the first place, and, later, to ‘exit’ from the body entirely.

The shields It’s been common knowledge for a long time that vitamins A, C, D and E help to ward off free radical attacks. Most of the focus has been nutritionally based, with recommendation from nutritionists to take plenty of these vitamins internally.

Lately there has been a flush of cosmetics that promise the same protection in topically applied serums, creams and lotions.

My team of colleagues has been working with this for 30 years and often wonder why it took everybody so long to get onto it.

However, with the exception of vitamins A and E, most often other free-radical-hating vitamins, known as anti-oxidants (another word for anti-rust or preservative), denature very quickly whether taken orally or applied topically. Foremost among these is vitamin C.

Vitamin C – plain or fancy?

Straight ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is probably the most therapeutic and powerful in stimulating collagen synthesis in the fibroblast cells of the skin. But the body uses this ‘C’ up very quickly, hence the time-release capsules for internal use that one can purchase at any chemist shop.

However, it would be difficult to structure straight ascorbic acid in a cream that would deliver vitamin C to living cells over a period of hours.

In addition, common citric acid and ascorbic acid does not last very long in a topical cream, the maximum time being six or seven days.

In an effort to increase the stability of vitamin C in creams, many American and Canadian manufacturers added bioflavanoids to their formulas, blended with chemically compounded ingredients such as magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate or calcium ascorbate, which extended the shelf life to nearly a year if the cream was kept under optimum conditions.

What to look for Try to avoid creams or lotions that promise to deliver too many types of action at once. Medical opinion is: active ingredients in products or drugs are best delivered into the system when they are not mixed with myriad other active ingredients.

The skin is multi-sectioned; there are basic layers but they are interconnected with numerous receptors, ganglia, dendrites and desmosomes.

Also, cell divisions are not clean-cut, cells struggle upward towards the epidermis and elongate before the final hexagonal and flat structures.

Likewise creams, lotions and serums should be ‘layered’ or sectioned onto the skin, with direct action ingredients in each formula that address a special function of the epidermis.

For instance, an acid mantle can be replicated with a spray mist that contains ingredients similar to what the sebaceous and sweat glands produce. Then this ‘acid mantle’ is scaled into place with a vegetable protein cream containing a full complement of vitamin C and pycnogenols.

Finally, a protective shield of sunblock can be applied, and if all three products are formulated to be transepidermal with water solubility, the skin will not be loaded up with comedogenic products that clog the pores. PB

Free radicals are very tough, resistant rogue molecules and as crazy as the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland I have found that using various combinations of all vitamin C’s gives the most potent anti-oxidant power to a product and adds the extra ‘kick’ to the amino acid chain that produces living collagen.

Pycnogenols Included in this group of free radicals fighters is red wine. Many doctors are advising older clients to drink red wine – at least one glass every day.

This is largely due to the flavonoids from the skin of red grapes, which contains leucocyanidines (anti-oxidant properties that support the circulatory systems).

Cellulite attack!

Joanna Sterkowicz takes action against the cellulite that has plagued her thighs and butt for decades by trying Juliette Armand’s Celluslim Therapy.

A

five-phase treatment, Celluslim Therapy from Juliette Armand is a localised treatment for cellulite and topical fat, according to Barbara Meintjes of Poise Brands.

“The products used in this treatment are rich in active ingredients, which trigger the processes of lipolysis and cellulite reduction,” said Meintjes.

She explained that the first phase of the treatment is exfoliation, to ensure deep penetration of the products that follow.

Meintjes applied Juliette Armand’s Detoxifying Peeling Gel to my thighs with a brush. The gel, which is not removed at any stage, felt slightly tingly on my skin. It contains salicylic acid – a beta hydroxyl acid – for exfoliation and detoxing, as well as caffeisilane C, which is derived from coffee, to stimulate lipolysis.

Next, Meintjes applied the Thermoslim Gel. “This is a selfheating slimming gel that increases microcirculation, decongests the cells and aids the fat-burning process.”

She then mixed some Fykia powder into a mud-like paste with some water, using salt as an activator.

“Fykia powder is made from seaweed that is farmed in a sustainable source in Brittany, France, where pollution levels are tested daily,” continued Meintjes.

“The Juliette Armand chemists only

online at www.probeauty.co.za

utilise algae in its purest form.

Fykia powder contains 25 trace elements, including iodine and amino acids, which play a major role in fat-burning and detoxing.”

Once the greenish-brown Fykia paste had been applied to my thighs, Meintjes wrapped them in plastic, noting that salons can opt to use foil wrap if they prefer.

I remained wrapped for 20 minutes, during which time my thighs actually felt alive and stimulated.

“While the wrap is on, the therapist can build up her docket by performing a head or foot massage on the client, or Juliette Armand’s eye treatment – Opsis.”

Once the 20 minutes was up, Meintjes removed the excess paste from my thighs with a spatula, before using a damp towel to wipe off the remaining paste.

Next came the application of the Celluslim Serum, which contains caffeine and stimulates tissue microcirculation and the removal of toxins and free radicals.

“This serum is compatible with ionisation devices, using the negative pole, as well as ultrasound and radiofrequency machines,” commented Meintjes.

I was asked to turn over onto my belly so that she could perform a massage on my thighs and butt, using strong kneading movements to increase circulation in the area.

“The products used in this treatment are rich in active ingredients, which trigger the processes of lipolysis and cellulite reduction,” Barbara Meintjes.

The final phase was the application of the Triple Action Gel, to continue the fat-burning process and to firm the skin.

For optimal results 12 treatments are recommended, twice a week.

Contra-indications are circulatory issues, varicose veins, thyroid conditions and pregnancy.

Home care comprises the Thermoslim Gel and Triple Action Gel, for morning and night use respectively. PB Contact: Poise Brands 011 033 0500

It’s a wrap!

Wanting an even sleeker line to complement the effects of daily workouts at the gym, Karin Lewis experiences the award-winning Biominceur Slimming Wrap.

M

y treatment took place at the Moyen Wellness Centre in Midstream, Midrand, and was performed by Tanya Groenewald, MD of Fransolet

Distributors.

“The Biominceur Slimming Wrap has just won the Best Slimming Body Wrap Award at the 2015 Aesthetician’s Choice Awards. These prestigious awards are presented by Dermascope Magazine and the Aesthetics International Association,” said Groenewald.

She went on to explain that there is no preparation required for this treatment, in that there is no exfoliation or massage involved.

“This really is an easy to use, no fuss, no mess treatment,” continued Groenewald. “The client is on the bed for 30 minutes so the salon can use this time to perform other services, such as a facial, a manicure or pedicure, or a head and neck massage.

“We recommend six to 10 sessions but you will literally see results after just one treatment. Every treatment you do after that builds on the previous one.”

Groenewald took measurements of my waist, hips, bottom, upper thighs and knees and recorded them on a client information card. She also took photos of these areas.

As she applied the Biominceur Shape Gel to the treatment areas to open the pores and to prepare my skin for the application of the Active Cream above the belt and the Active Gel below the belt, Groenewald noted that this treatment stimulates the lymphatic system and breaks down toxins.

“The treatment has a lipolysis effect and increases the metabolism of fat cells. It even helps with stretch marks.

We actually refer to this treatment as a ‘health wrap’ as it’s an all-round treatment, packed full of essential oils, plant and algae extracts and caffeine.

“This treatment is also effective for people who are struggling to lose weight, and for clients with water retention problems,” commented Groenewald.

Once Groenewald finished applying the Active Cream, she wrapped my body in plastic, making sure that there were no bubbles; otherwise the product would not penetrate the skin. It is also important not to sweat during this phase.

My abdomen and thighs felt pleasantly warm. After 30 minutes Groenewald removed the plastic, warning me that I would now feel very cold. To end off she applied the Ultra Effect Gel. She then took my measurements again and I was amazed to find that I lost 8cm altogether – 1.5cm on the abdominal area, 2cm around the hips, 1.5cm on one upper leg, 2cm on the other and 0.5cm on the knees. There was improved definition in my abdomen and the ripple effect on my thighs was much smoother.

Not only did I lose centimetres, I felt really energetic after the treatment. In addition, the stiffness in my muscles from the previous day’s gym workout was now gone.

Groenewald prescribed the Home Care Kit, comprising the Active Gel, Active Cream and Ultra Effect Gel. PB

A ‘cup’ half-full Belinda Wewege experiences the Cellu Therapy anticellulite treatment from Lilian Terry International (LTI), which utilises cupping techniques.

Derby Mitchell Elona Lombard

O

n arrival at the beautiful Michelangelo Spa & Gym in Sandton, Johannesburg, I was greeted by Elona Lombard, LTI Johannesburg trainer and representative, who noted that the LTI brand has been in this prestigious spa for over eight years.

“Your treatment will be performed using the new LTI Professional FlexyCup, which will be officially launched at the Professional Beauty Johannesburg Show at the end of August,” explained Lombard. “This FlexyCup differs from our original LT Body FlexyCup in that it works deeper and is for spa and salon use only.

“The other difference when using this cup is the fact that not only do you apply the LT Cellu One oil onto the skin, but also into the cup itself.

We manufacture the FlexyCup in South Africa; it is made entirely from ISO-certified silicone, making it highly flexible. In addition, it can be sterilised without hardening.”

Lombard applied the Cellu One

online at www.probeauty.co.za

oil onto my thighs, squeezed the FlexyCup and got to work, using effleurage and circular massage motions, starting softly at first and then going deeper.

I could immediately feel the suction caused by the FlexyCup. This feeling was more intense in some places, indicating that the cellulite was worse in those areas. After a while I became less conscious of the suction sensation.

Lombard commented that my thighs were very red, indicating that the FlexyCup was having an effect.

“Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy that is very effective for removing toxins. Ideally spas can suggest that clients sit in the sauna for five minutes prior to this treatment, in order to heat up the body and increase circulation,” said Lombard.

Once the cupping phase of the treatment was over, Michelangelo Spa & Gym therapist Derby Mitchell performed a scrub, using the LT Body Polish. This was also applied in a circular motion.

“Now that we’ve increased circulation with the FlexyCup, we are going to remove the dead cells with the scrub so that the wrap which

follows can really penetrate,” explained Lombard.

Mitchell removed the scrub with a hot compress and applied the Cellu Therapy Body Wrap. This blue, pastelike substance was smoothed all over my thighs and I was then covered in plastic. The wrap was left on for 20 minutes, following which I was asked to shower.

“We recommend a 12-week course of the Cellu Therapy system. Home care is very important – Cellu Two should be applied to the treatment area for two weeks after the treatment, followed by two weeks of Cellu Three. Following that, the client should start all over again, with Cellu One for two weeks, and so on,” said Lombard.

She noted that LT complexes consist of essential oils, homeopathic remedies and carrier oils. Cellu One reduces the appetite and increases metabolism, while Cellu Two increases circulation and Cellu Three detoxifies. PB Contact: Lilian Terry International 012 361 2606

All wrapped up Lizelle Foord experiences the Patricia Clarke Body Contouring Wrap to rid her body of those few, troublesome, excess centimetres.

D

uring my treatment I learnt that the Patricia Clarke Body Contouring Gel, which is used in conjunction with neoprene bandages, has been in existence for nearly 30 years and has changed a lot in that time, in terms of its formulation of active ingredients.

Said the company’s Christelle Newsum: “The Patricia Clarke Gel now contains 27 different plant extracts, some are diuretic, some stimulatory. Also included in the formulation is a small amount of retinol, as it has regenerative properties. This is a fact that must be stated to clients up front in case they have an adverse reaction to retinol.”

She stressed that the Patricia Clarke Body Contouring Wrap is not a water loss treatment, although excess water will be lost. “In fact, this is a good treatment for people who suffer from oedema (water retention). It also helps to decrease bloating and is suitable for clients who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome.”

Before the treatment can commence, the client must complete a detailed medical history form for the therapist to ascertain if the client has any allergies, is on any medication, or has any existing and past medical conditions.

Once this stage was completed, Newsum took measurements at 18 different points on my body.

“Although we guarantee a certain centimetre loss for each client we always stress that the maintenance of the treatment results is up to the client,” continued Newsum. “So a lot depends on the client’s diet and lifestyle. We recommend a course of six treatments, one a week and definitely not exceeding two a week.”

She explained that salons should always do an exfoliation on their clients before applying the wrap and that the wrap works directly on the bloodstream and the lymph system.

The gel, in conjunction with the neoprene bandages, penetrates the subcutaneous fat cells and disperses the toxic waste into the lymphatic system. The waste then filters out through the venous system.

Newsum stressed the importance of employing the correct technique

Professional Beauty August 2015

when applying the bandages. She also mentioned that this is a very cost-effective treatment for salons, as the product costs per treatment are low, so there is a good profit margin.

Once the bandages were applied, I was asked to lie down for an hour. I could feel the bandages compress my abdomen and thighs.

When the bandages were removed I was literally amazed at the results – I lost 1cm off each arm; 1cm off the midsection; 2cm off the waist; and 6cm off the abdomen.

The Patricia Clarke Body Contouring Wrap has the distinction of being registered as safe with the UK Poisons Bureau. PB Contact: Patricia Clarke 011 793 2321

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.

Light at the end of the tunnel Suited to a variety of aesthetic skin treatments, as well as hair removal, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology utilises a broad spectrum light source to target specific structures and chromophores in the skin, writes Joanna Sterkowicz.

T

he eStyle with Motif from Syneron features today’s most in-demand applications, bundled into a single system, according to Radiant Healthcare clinical trainer, Danelle Landman.

She continues: “The eStyle is clinically proven to get the best results for a broad range of skin types and hair colours. It features Syneron’s revolutionary elo-s Technology, which delivers better results with less overall energy than other systems. Treatments are safer and more comfortable – allowing clients to immediately return to their normal daily activities after treatment.”

CE-marked and FDA-approved, the eStyle treats a wide range of skin textures, pigments and tones for applications such as hair removal (all skin types and hair colours), skin tightening, skin rejuvenation and acne.

Commenting on the GSD Ultralite, Landman points out that it adopts square pulse and constant current charging technology, which emits continuous energy to realise optimum clinical results.

“The Ultralite’s easy and customised interface makes it flexible for individual clinical procedures. Its patented RVC (Real Value Calibration) ensures accurate energy to meet the user’s needs. Ultralite makes comfort

“With more advanced technology, one shot can relate to five pulses. Some of the manufacturers guarantee their system’s handpiece for up to a million pulses, which sounds very impressive. But with five pulses per shot, it basically means not more than 200 000 shots. To the uninformed client, a million pulses will sound like a much better guarantee, which in fact is not true. But 200 000 shots, on the other hand, can mean up to a million pulses. A shot means a single press of the trigger and that shot can have up to five pulses.”

Olivier goes on to point out that manufacturer Lumenis has a Universal IPL module on its M22 platform, which means a single handpiece can treat over 20 skin conditions and also be used for hair removal.

“The Universal IPL handpiece is designed with seven ExpertFilters (515nm – 755nm), tailored to the specific condition being treated, and computer-enabled filter recognition for enhanced safety and ease of use.

“With the Universal IPL handpiece, the therapist can change ExpertFilters in seconds instead of attaching a whole new handpiece. If the filter needs to be changed from a 560nm to a 515nm ExpertFilter, it is quite literally as easy as pressing ‘Standby’, changing a filter, pressing ‘Go’, and you can continue with the treatment. This not only saves treatment time and storage space, but is also extremely cost-efficient because there is no need to purchase multiple IPL handpieces,” says Olivier.

She notes that the M2 IPL software with filter recognition makes IPL treatments error-free and that the device has two light guides (35 x

BTL Exilite face application

BTL Exilite applicator with unit

15mm2 and 15 x 8mm2) to treat small and larger areas with equal comfort.

OPT The Lumenis IPL with OPT technology is equipped with the proprietary Optimal Pulse Technology. OPT gives users the ability to control the pulse shape by equalising energy distribution over the entire pulse cycle during multiple sequential pulses. This avoids an energy spike at the beginning of the pulse.

According to Olivier, other advantages of OPT are gentler, more comfortable, patient-friendly procedures, with lower effective fluences. The high peak power and shorter pulses are ideal for photorejuvenation and the treatment of benign pigmented lesions.

“Universal IPL’s Multiple Sequential Pulsing technology protects the epidermis of the skin, while improving the efficacy of a treatment,” comments Olivier.

“Multiple sequential pulse with delay times permits successive heating of the targeted vessels with adequate cooling time (pulse intervals) for the epidermis and surrounding structures. This reduces the chance of skin damage during treatments – of particular importance during vascular and pigmented lesion treatments.”

She points out that the treatment of darker-skinned people with an IPL system is complex, and enough cooling time between pulses is vital in order to avoid thermal damage.

“This reduces the chance of skin damage during vascular or pigmented lesion treatments.

Professional Beauty August 2015

Multiple-Sequential Pulsing allows for cooling between pulses, to safely remove hair on darker skin,” concludes Olivier.

Maximising ROI BTL Medical’s Exilite offers extended lifetime of the flash lamp. Return on investment (ROI) is therefore maximised due to reduced operating costs.

Says BTL Medical SA’s Branislav Sucˇanský: “Excellent clinical outcomes are assured by the machine’s very strong power output. The fluence of Exilite reaches 40 J/cm2. Both the patient and operator benefit from faster therapy. Even large areas, such as the back, are treated in an instant.

“Thanks to the sapphire spot of the Exilite, the advanced cooling system makes the treatment gentle

53 on the skin. It is quick and easy to change filters in the Exilite handpiece, while the system is ready for another indication in a couple of seconds.

“Golden plates reflect the scattered energy in order to spread it out evenly all over the spot. This feature is crucial for achieving optimum therapy.”

The Exilite Multipulse mode enables extremely gentle transmission of energy into the skin, having great results even on patients with less pigment difference in the target tissue. The Multipulse mode increases the application effect while decreasing the risk of any unwanted events, such as redness.

Sucˇanský continues: “The Exilite offers excellent regeneration enhancement using the principle of non-thermal effect of LED modulated light technology. This scientifically proven method substantially reduces erythema, improves skin regeneration and positively stimulates production of collagen in the tissue.”

‘Plug and Pulse’ Ideal for hair removal, skin rejuvenation and acne treatments, the Nora from Sorisa incorporates the new and exclusive ‘Plug and Pulse’ technology, which means lamps can be replaced with a single click and without service assistance.

“This high-performance device with longerlasting lamps (more than 60 000 shots) makes it the most competitive intense pulse light option on the market,” says distributor Marisa Dimitriadis. “The ‘Plug and Pulse’ technology means there is no need for a service technician to load shots or calibrate the machine, it’s all done with a simple click.”PB

Lamprobe solutions

ARTICLE BY JANINE THOMSON

ACNE PIMPLES Acne is categorised by comedones, papules, pustules and nodules depending on the severity. It is due to the over activity of the Sebaceous Glands with the accompanying build up of keratinised cells blocking the duct, inflammation in the surrounding tissue and p.acne bacteria feeding on the sebum.

Topical and oral acne therapies vary greatly and the experienced aesthetician has a variety of modalities and combination therapies to choose from. A modality that is becoming a favourite amongst Somatologists is the Lamprobe. This is a non-invasive, pain free option for the client as the aesthetician applies a thin layer of topical anaesthetic onto the affected area with or without steam and then proceeds to insert the Lamprobe probe into the pimple. In the process the build up of keratinised cells causing the blockage disintegrates and the pus and debris attach itself to the probe. The probe is re-inserted until the probe exits clean. The process dislodges infection, destroys the p.acne bacteria and therefore calms the inflammation. A topical anti-bacterial ointment (moist) is then applied which aids keratinocyte migration in epithelial healing as opposed to dry healing promoting the formation of a smaller almost insignificant scab. This is an excellent treatment for all those stubborn reoccurring pimples because the actual sebaceous gland that produces the sebum, can be desiccated and therefore ceased to overproduce sebum in that duct again.

MILIA Although Milia are very superficial they are often found in awkward areas like on the delicate areas under the eye or on the eyelids and can be difficult to extract. The easiest and totally painfree way to remove them is with the

Lamprobe.

The probe is placed in the centre of the Milia, the current penetrates through the S t r a t u m Corneum attracting the lipids that have aggregated in the Stratum Granulosum, onto the probe. There is no bleeding and no trauma and no trace of where it had been, just beautiful, smooth skin.

SYRINGOMAS Syringomas are often mistaken as Milia, because their appearance and the site of the lesion are so similar.

However Syringomas form where there is an overgrowth of keratinised cells within the suderiferous (sweat gland) duct. Not to be confused with the Sebaceous Gland! The duct becomes enlarged and clogged forming a hard round raised bump about 1-3 mm in diameter. It is often skin coloured, yellowish or white in colour. These are benign harmless lesions but they are troublesome because they are unsightly and uncomfortable and often misdiagnosed. The Lamprobe treatment is extremely precise in removing the build-up of hyperkeratinised cells to leave the skin smooth, without any hypo or hyperpigmentation or scarring.

SEBACEOUS HYPERPLASIA The centre of the lesion looks like a typical black-head or comedone, but for the beauty therapist who tries to extract these there is no joy. In fact squeezing these lesions only stimulate further growth of the lesion. The surrounding pearly donut or cauliflower shaped yellowish papule consists of hardened lipids that have proliferated

Professional Beauty August 2015

from the sebaceous gland onto the surface of the skin. These are benign, but they do become unsightly and as one gets older more and more seem to appear. Yet again the Lamprobe to the rescue! The probe is inserted into the centre and the surrounding sacks of lipids, the lipids liquify and pop to the surface. This is a very satisfying way of creating a flawless complexion. The current that is used is gentle enough that is does not affect the surrounding skin therefore eliminating possibility of scarring.

Cautery methods are contra-indicated for Sebaceous Hyperplasia and all lipid / oil-filled lesions as this would ablate the surrounding tissue.

THE LAMPROBE The Lamprobe treatments are safe on all skin types and safe for beauty therapists to use. This treatment modality has been used for over 2 decades worldwide and for over 10 years in South Africa.

CPUT CPUT has just introduced the Lamprobe treatments into their paramedical curriculum for their 4th year BTech students. The students completed the theoretical identification of all skin lesions and the practical removal of a variety of sebaceous, hyper-keritinised and vascular lesions within the Somatologists protocol in June 2015.

It was an absolute pleasure lecturing at CPUT with my assistant lecturer Carol Maccallum to such a competent, passionate and knowledgeable group of students. PB For more information on education or Lamprobe treatments please call Janine on 071 875 5348 or email janine@lamprobe.co.za

sun protection

Where the sun does shine With summer waiting in the wings, it’s time for salons and spas to start recommending sun protection products for their clients, writes Joanna Sterkowicz.

T

here are two different types of sun protection system – physical and chemical, explains Sonette Donker of Skin iD. “A physical sun protection product sits on the skin and reflects light away from the skin, making it far less irritating on the skin. It is therefore most suited to a sensitive skin and can be applied after medical aesthetic treatments, such as mediumdepth chemical peels, needling and lasers. However, physical sun protection can be very ‘white’ on the skin.

Key ingredients are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide “Chemical sun protection is still widely used as it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and won’t leave a white film. This makes it suitable for darker skin colours. A chemical sun protection absorbs the UV rays and releases it as heat. It could therefore potentially irritate a sensitive skin, or possibly make hyperpigmentation even darker

due to the release of heat in the skin,” says Donker.

Anyone over the age of six months should use sunscreen daily, according to the experts at Juliette Armand.

“Even those who work inside are still exposed to UV light daily,” they say. “UVB rays are the burning rays and may cause many other skin conditions. Another type of radiation

Professional Beauty August 2015

is UVA, which penetrates deeper into the skin and can cause premature ageing and also increase the risk of skin cancers. Sunscreens that have a broad spectrum protection assist in protecting from both types of radiation.”

The SunFilm range from Julliette Armand includes a Face Cream SPF 50, Face Gel SPF 30 and Face Cream SPF 15.

Effective shield DermaFix DermaShield SPF 50 has been tested for its capacity to provide both high UVA and high UVB protection and is SANS 1557:2013 and ISO 24444, ISO 24443 approved according to the latest sunscreen legislation in South Africa. It further offers water resistance up to 40 minutes, making this a highly effective, long-lasting sun protection product suited to all skin types.

It helps to repair damage to cellular and mitochondrial DNA due to the presence of roxisomes.

Complementary UV actives provide DNA and stem cell protection and repair sun damage, providing an antiinflammatory action. This equates to less DNA damage, less stem cell damage, less skin redness and less skin ageing, thus improving protective power.

Season trends –

Spring/Summer 2015 Spring is in the air, a time when the world comes alive, shouting that it’s time for rejuvenation and to renew your zest for life by embracing the new season’s nail colour palette, writes Sonette van Rensburg.

T

he Spring nail colour palette emulates colours that are intertwined with one another to create fresh, new shades for a softer more feminine look. This translates into soft, creamy pastels of milky lemon, peachy cream, bare lilac, glacier gray and blushed pink, to slightly more muted tones of teal blue, dusty rose and sage green, and brighter shades of mellow yellow, cool aqua, strawberry and apple red for the girly fashionista.

Summer 2015 splashes out in a range of exquisite shades of some of the hottest colours, ranging from not quite so bright (toasted almond, lovely lavender, pacific blues and creamy

neons), to the most sizzling colours that are almost too hot to handle, such as hot juicy mandarin, rich romantic reds and fabulous fiery fuschias.

There is also something a little more spectacular for those hot summer nights, in beautiful and rich shimmering gold and silver textured shades, as well as brighter shades of navy blue, mermaid green and sparkling red hot pink. Sheer decorative top coats in soft pearlescent linens and the finest particles of diamond dust, to iridescent scalloped glitters, add a touch glamour to any nails. Black and white remain popular colours and also feature hugely every season in gloss, but this season in a more matte option.

Innovative ideas and interpretations

have been encountered on the catwalks of renowned fashion houses.

For instance, the nail trends at the Honor Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear Fashion Show focused not only on colour, but also on the techniques used to apply the colours.

Nail shapes also play a big part in the Spring/Summer season and range from simple to more diverse. Even nail art is ultra creative, exceptionally unique and adorned with way out embellishments.

It is always one of the most popular shades to create the classiest looks with, and is compatible with everything and worn during any season.

Shorter nails seemed to be the most predominant length and could be spotted at practically every fashion show, in completely sheer nude, to pale, shaded nails and more energising designs. The natural look lends itself to being really diverse and yet it can be unique in various combinations, like the combos done in nude and white,

by Gabriele Colangelo, proving that white is very versatile and an in thing for the season. Its minimalistic but classic character and was also spotted at Osman. However Nanette Lepore added a bit of a twist with a pure white background and a thin golden stripe.

Holly Fulton and Custo Barcelona shifted slightly from pure white to more beige tones yet preserving the minimalistic touches. Square oval shapes are back and also following trends, in combinations of more sophisticated textures and classic forms. Almonds shaped nails, whether popular or not, still seem to make their presence known and are a great canvas for showing off the more daring 3D and embellished designs.

Colourful accents & messy touches – Prabal Gurung played it down a little by adding hints and accents of colour in subtle orange and purple, resembling watercolour-like patterns, while Derek Lam had cute little designs to pretty

Pink brings to mind complete girly coquettishness and is considered one of the best shades for Spring, seen at the Spring shows of many designers, including some abstract but rather feminine options by Monique Lhuillier done on shorter, more square oval nails.

up the nails. Feminine inspired accents were complemented with designs by Cushnie Et Ochs, and a little more way out were the multi-coloured nails

by Degen and ‘alphabetic’ designs by Libertine.

Geometric designs & stripes remain a fashion trend on nails, each time offering something fresh and new.

Crisscrossing patterns created with white lines on a nude background, or just gold on golden looks, were interesting options seen on nails by Angel Sanchez, and glass-like glossy shades and shapes by DSquared2.

And for a little less geometric look, minimalistic single-stripe designs appeared on nails by Kate Spade, presenting the black stripe over a white background.

Embellished designs – Designers have been experimenting and creating their very own unique interpretations and looks, like the nails which were spotted on models in white and silver

by JS Lee and the colorful creative designs by Manish Arora. Let’s not forget Betsey Johnson, the quirky lady who always likes to make a statement with lavishly embellished nails, and following closely in her footsteps were the fantastically luxurious and sophisticated designs by The Blondes.

Available Spring / Summer 2015 Black is still on the list of must have trends, taking into account the very popular monochrome look and dark shaded designs for the season. Carmen Marc Valvo placed plenty of emphasis on matte black nails, while models at Antonio Marras stunned everyone with black half-moon designs combined with a nude element to create the negative space look. Combinations of classic black with deep green and modern patterns, with touches of glitter, that were featured by Giles and Nicholas K really stood out.

one that I’m sure many will not be able to get their heads around. These designs have been seen in a variety of different options, using combinations of a nude background painted with half-moon designs.

Famous fashion houses and designers such as Dion Lee and Charlotte Ronson are creating some really cool looks and patterns with this new technique, encompassing shades like silver, gold, and mint, and also adding a gemstone or two here and there.

Royal blue was the choice by Rodarte, partially painting the nails and creating small messy accents, with brighter blue abstract patterns by Rebecca Minkoff.

Nothing replaces a healthy diet and exercise, as well as weight-bearing exercise specifically, but there are a few secret weapons in clinics that can help with aesthetic body shaping, writes Dr Catherine Davies.

I

n terms of baseline assessment and monitoring, women find it difficult to objectively assess their body and their slimming progress and the scale does not give us useful information.

We need to know what is working for us and be able to objectively monitor our progress.

Some women are lucky enough to have trainers who will measure skin folds and inch loss. Alternatively there is more advanced technology, such as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA).

BIA is considered one of the most reliable and accessible methods of screening body fat, water content and muscle mass.

In our clinic we have the Inbody scale which is an easy to use, non-intrusive, one-step BIA process. The Inbody looks just like a bathroom scale. A person inputs age, gender and height, then steps onto the platform. Electrodes in the foot sensor pads send a low, safe signal through the body. In less than three minutes we obtain a reading or ‘map’ of body fat, muscle, water and bone density.

medical aesthetics – body contouring

68 Non-invasive route We have three main objectives when body-sculpting in clinic: losing fat, tightening skin and gaining muscle.

Other benefits are huge and include improved bone density, vitality and libido.

Losing fat and tightening skin The most effective tool in our clinic that both removes targeted areas of fat and tightens skins is a monopolar radiofrequency, ultrasound combination (BTL Exilis Elite). This monopolar device has the benefit of choosing at what depth you would like to work, so you can both target fat and tighten skin in hard to treat areas.

We’ve noticed that the most popular areas we’re asked to work on include stomach, love handles and back fat. There are also requests for thighs, knees and under-chin fat.

Gaining muscle As we age our muscles undergo progressive changes, primarily involving loss of muscle mass and strength.

The age-related loss of muscle function is known as sarcopenia, derived from the Greek words for flesh (sarcos) and loss (penia).

The loss of muscle mass during the ageing process is important aesthetically and clinically as it reduces strength and exercise capacity, and is replaced by fat, which appears as flab.

Apart from weight training, which should be included in any exercise routine, our clinic utilises the Ion Magnum muscle stimulator. This targets muscle by improving lean muscle, reducing fat and achieving inch loss.

The Ion Magnum is an advanced fitness system that rapidly burns fat and delivers the benefits of an intense, professional workout without the pain, physical exertion or inconvenience of conventional exercise. This device uses micro-current frequency to contract the muscles in the body, simulating normal exercise. This builds lean muscle and induces fat loss.

It can also be used to supplement training routines, even for bodybuilding competitions. The machine can build muscle or just tone muscle. PB

Dr Catherine Davies of Hair Restoration SA qualified as a medical doctor at the University of the Witswatersrand (1998) and holds an MBA from Henley University (2006).

The holistic approach Dr Anton V Mathey from The Aesthetic Clinic advocates a holistic approach to slimming, which begins with lifestyle support.

“W

e encourage slimming clients to create and sustain a sensible lifestyle for themselves. This comprises moderate exercise and an eating plan made up of high protein and good carbohydrates. I use the term ‘eating plan’ as I don’t advocate diets as such, because people tend not to stick to diets,” explains Mathey.

In terms of metabolic support and targeting fat pockets, Mathey uses injections of phosphatidylcholine, blended with different homeopathic medicines.

“Phosphatidylcholine is a

Professional Beauty August 2015

fat-dissolving agent,” continues Mathey. “It is only used in localised fat pockets such as found in the thighs, stomach area, love handles and triceps.

“I also use L-carnitine as an injectable. This product moves fatty acids over the mitochondrial membrane in the cell, where it is metabolised to form energy.

Phosphatidylcholine and L-carnitine are used when the target body weight has been reached to do body sculpting.”

For toning and shaping purposes, Mathey uses LPG Endermologie and other slimming machines.

Just like ‘magic’ Brand new on the South African market, the compact MagicPot Body LiposlimCare device delivers a potent slimming treatment, as Karin Lewis discovers.

O

n arrival at the B-Med offices in Midrand, I was fascinated to find that the MagicPot, from Korean company EunSung, looks as appealing as its name suggests. It is a small, domelike, portable device that incorporates three powerful technologies – integrated multi-polar radiofrequency (RF), vacuum suction and lightemitting diode (LED).

B-Med’s Ronelle Greeff explained that the RF delivers thermal energy into the dermal layer and deep fatty layer of the skin, while the LED breaks down fat cells and the vacuum suction lifts the skin.

“MagicPot’s LED technology combines different light frequencies to cause a natural bio-stimulation of the fat cells. The light energy boosts collagen and elastin, while simultaneously improving blood and lymph circulation. As a result, circulation in the treatment area is increased, as is cellular metabolism.

“In terms of the vacuum suction, there are various pulse modes for the therapist to choose from – continuous, fast rhythmical, general and slow.

online at www.probeauty.co.za

All in all, MagicPot delivers a quick treatment result in the target regions.

Its effect is the reduction of cellulite and fat, body-reshaping and skintightening,” said Greeff.

To commence the treatment she applied Contact Lotion, a conducting gel that comes together with the MagicPot, onto the back of my thighs.

The treatment itself – 20 minutes on each treatment area – was so relaxing and comfortable that I nearly fell asleep. It felt like an unusual form of massage.

“The therapist must keep moving the handpiece over the treatment area and never let it go static, otherwise it may cause bruising,” continued Greeff.

“Movements must be smooth and up and down and from side-to-side to stimulate lymph drainage and to heat the area.”

My legs did go red after a few minutes, indicating increased circulation.

Post treatment the appearance of cellulite had reduced and the skin in that area looked tighter.

According to Greeff, clients will see a real difference after between six to eight treatments, done on a twiceweekly basis. She noted that MagicPot can also be used to treat the face, as it comes with a facial handpiece, as well an alternative handpiece for smaller areas, such as the underside of the arms.

“We believe that MagicPot is the first device of its kind in South Africa.

Apart from being highly effective, its compact size and portability makes it ideal for salon treatment rooms. Salons can also offer a MagicPot treatment prior to a body scrub or body wrap, or create packages that include facials,” concluded Greeff.

Contra-indications are pregnancy, breast-feeding and pacemakers.PB Contact: B-Med 082 050 8191

Four to score Syneron’s brand-new aesthetic device, the Velashape Adeline V, combines four different technologies to offer highly effective body contouring and cellulite reduction treatments, as Joanna Sterkowicz discovers.

T

he Velashape Adeline V is positioned as the ideal, cost-effective device for spas, salons, medical aesthetics clinics and fitness centres, according to Danelle Landman, clinical trainer at Radiant Healthcare in Johannesburg.

“This device combines infrared energy, bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) energy, pulsed vacuum and massage rollers. These four technologies allow for quick, comfortable treatments with fast results and no downtime.

“Velashape Adeline V is built around Syneron’s patented, physicianendorsed, scientifically proven elos technology, which generates safe and effective levels of infrared light and bi-polar RF energy. This heat will stimulate fibroblast activity, remodel the extracellular matrix and improve skin texture.

“Mechanical manipulation of the tissue and lymph drainage is enabled through the device’s pulsed vacuum action and two massage rollers, which ensure precise targeting and delivery of energy to the tissue,” explained Landman.

“Velashape Adeline V is built around Syneron’s patented, physician-endorsed, scientifically proven elos technology.”

Danelle Landman Prior to commencing a body contouring treatment on my perennially flabby gut, Landman prepared the treatment area by applying Velashape Spray.

“There are two applicators for Velashape Adeline V – the V-smooth applicator for cellulite and circumference reduction on large areas, and the V-contour for body contouring on small localised fatty tissue areas.

“I’m going to use the V-contour on your stomach and focus on the small pockets of fatty tissue. You will notice that the vacuum suction is delivered in stacks and that the infrared and RF heat up to a temperature of 42/43 Celsius. The vacuum intensity can be adjusted in accordance with the patient’s tolerance and pushes the RF energy into the body. You can use RF

on all skin types as it is independent from the chromophores in the body and therefore doesn’t affect the melanin in the skin,” commented Landman.

She switched on the device and began the treatment. I could feel the suction of the vacuum as well as the RF heat. It was a perfectly comfortable sensation. The treatment lasted 10 minutes. Post-treatment my abdomen tingled and felt pleasantly warm.

“You will definitely start seeing a difference after three treatments,” commented Landman.

“We recommend four to six treatments, onez per week. For the first three months after the sixth treatment, maintenance should be once a month, and thereafter a treatment every three months.” PB Contact: Radiant Healthcare 011 794 8253

An ‘elite’ treatment Lelanie Cloete experiences two different BTL devices – the Exilis Elite and X-Wave Acoustic Therapy – to target the fat cells and cellulite on her thighs respectively.

W

hen I arrived at the Ageless Lasers medical aesthetics clinic in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, Branislav Sucˇanský of BTL Medical SA explained that the Exilis Elite is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) slimming device.

“The heat generated by the RF has two effects; firstly it pushes heat deep into the fat cells, thereby destroying them. Animal studies have proved that up to 50% of the fat cells in the focus of the treated area are destroyed during this treatment. Secondly, the RF heat stimulates the production of new collagen.

“BTL has developed a unique cooling system for the Exilis Elite, which allows the therapist to target the fat deposits on the body accurately.

We can deliver heat of up to 45-46 degrees centigrade into the focus point of the treatment area (ie. 2cm below the skin),” said Sucˇanský.

To commence the treatment, he attached a grounding pad to my lower back, to act as an exit point for the electric current released by the device.

The beginning of the treatment felt cool but I could feel the heat building up quickly. Sucˇanský stressed that it is up to the therapist performing the treatment to monitor the patient’s tolerance to the heat throughout the session. The moment I felt the heat too

keenly, I asked Sucˇanský to reduce the temperature accordingly.

Once my right thigh was completed after a 10-minute session, I was asked to look into a mirror and compare the treated side to the untreated side.

I could definitely see a slight reduction in my saddle bag on the treated thigh.

Between four and six treatments on the Exilis Elite are recommended for best results.

Riding the ‘wave’ Sucˇanský explained that the BTL X-Wave Optimal Acoustic Wave Therapy device is ideal for treating cellulite. “The X-Wave, which works with sound wave technology, was originally developed by BTL for muscle and joint treatments, but it soon became evident that the device was also very effective for cellulite and stretch marks.”

I was interested to find that the

Branislav Sucˇanský X-Wave, which has a jackhammer action, felt similar to a deep tissue massage.

Sucˇanský treated my left thigh with the X-Wave, while noting that medical studies have proved that eight treatments with the X-Wave will improve the skin’s elasticity by 100% for the next six months.

“The acoustic waves work on collagen and elastin – a very strong wave enters the body, relaxes it and gets rid of toxins, thus improving metabolism. X-Wave doesn’t kill fat cells, it is primarily a skin-tightening device,” he commented.

Post-treatment I was delighted to see a definite improvement in the appearance of the cellulite on my right thigh, plus my trousers didn’t feel as tight as before the treatment. PB Contact: BTL Medical 076 232 80 58

The advantage of ongoing CPD participation SAAHSP focuses on the benefits of a CPD (Continuing Professional Development) programme for the member, employer and the industry at large.

C

PD can be defined as the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of skills, and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout a person’s career.

This definition is relevant to all registered persons (ie. registered with SAAHSP) at all stages of their careers. Registered practitioners must obtain 60 CPD points over two years. One point is one hour of CPD. This allocation might be adjusted, depending on the complexity and duration of a CPD activity. After a two-year cycle has lapsed, any points over the minimum required for the two years will be transferred to the next cycle.

There are four categories of CPD activities: Professional Development; Personal Development; Education and Training; and Reading and Publishing.

Benefits of CPD for the practitioner Those who commit to the CPD programme demonstrate: • Commitment to a level of excellence; • Passion in your occupation; • Desire to constantly improve; • Interest in the developments within the industry in terms of products, services and business management; and • Your competence as a therapist in running and/or contributing to the running of a sustainable business.

CPD opportunity for SAAHSP corporate membership Corporate institutes have the opportunity of their training being endorsed by the organisation by means of CPD, with the following benefits: • Credibility and professionalism; • Public Relations exposure; • Free advertising banner on SAAHSP website linking to your website; • The opportunity to attend regional functions, workshops and seminars; • The establishment of a professional identity in the marketplace; • The opportunity for company representatives to partake in meeting sessions.

Benefits of CPD to the member The participation in the CPD programme keeps your registration current. Being up to date sets you apart and makes you highly desirable as a therapist.

The use of the designation ‘Reg. BHS’ after your name is an indication of your status as registered practitioner – you are also able to use the logo on your business cards and in your business.

Benefits of CPD for the member’s employer They are able to demonstrate to their clients that their therapists are leaders in the industry and are using the latest technology and thinking in their salon, clinic, spa, school, product house, and factory or distribution outlet.

Benefit of CPD for the industry The industry becomes self-regulated.

Greater pressure will be placed on qualified therapists to be registered, thus establishing and maintaining standards of excellence and professionalism in the industry.

Compulsory CPD activities The industry has agreed that the education and training component of the CPD is compulsory. A CPD calendar will therefore be set up by the industry professional bodies at the beginning of each year. Participation is recorded through the signing of the register. Failure to participate in these events will result in de-registration as a practitioner. The SAAHSP membership exam/board exam is compulsory for members wanting Designations.
