Here Are The Top 3 Skin Treatments We Think You Should Be Upskilling In 👇

 

#1 Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is proven to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage while improving overall complexion. It involves using a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells, vellus hair, and other debris from the skin’s surface. By removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning allows more active ingredients from skincare products to penetrate deeper, allowing your clients to maximise their skincare benefits. 

Why your clients will love dermaplaning

• Flawless makeup application
• No downtime 
• Immediate results
• Suitable for all skin types
• Prevents breakouts
• Stimulates collagen production
• Stimulates cellular turnover
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation 
• Deeper product penetration

#2 Skin Needling 

Skin needling is a hugely popular skin treatment! The tiny needles inside a dermal pen device create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These small incisions are the key to the treatment’s success. The micro-injuries caused by the needles stimulate an immune response to repair the damaged tissue - this stimulates fibroblast cells which produce collagen and elastin. It’s the anti-ageing dream!

Why your clients will love skin needling

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves acne scarring
• Reduces the appearance of pigmentation
• Minimises pores
• Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
• Treats hair loss

#3 Professional Peels 

Professional peels contain alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and beta hydroxy acid (BHA). AHA’s and BHA’s gently resurface the skin. Different acids work best for treating different skin types and concerns, so it’s extra important to truly understand what you’re working with. Professional peels are the perfect add on to your existing facial treatments. You could be charging an extra $79 for an extra 15 minutes of work. It’s a win, win! 

Why your clients will love professional peels

• Minimises enlarged pores 
• Reveals bright, luminous skin 
• Reduces the appearance of pigmentation
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Evens skin tone and texture 
• Can be added on to their existing facial treatments to maximise results
