This issue of Professional Beauty will also be distributed at the Professional
Beauty Cape Town Show, which takes place at the CTICC on 28 and
29 June, guaranteeing an even wider distribution of the magazine than
usual.
As you will read in the Industry News section, the Cape Town show
will, for the first time, include an exciting nail workshop – dubbed the ‘Educationail
Workshop’ – which, we believe, is an important event for local nail technicians
to attend in order to learn about the latest trends and techniques and to
network with each other.
As any spa owner or salon owner will know, retail sales should ideally
contribute a significant percentage to overall turnover. Therapists’
selling skills aside, it is vital that your wares are displayed in such a way
as to attract clients’ attraction. Helena van der Vyver provides some
valuable information on how to get the most from your retail display.
An underserviced market in terms of salon treatments is that of
pregnant women and it is probably not that surprising, considering
that only specialised treatments are suitable for this demographic, as
the safety of the unborn child is of paramount importance. In this issue
we include a special feature on suitable treatments and products for
pregnant and post-partum women.

“Kalahari is a photo-effective

the skin to its natural beauty. Our
iconic packaging sets Kalahari apart

she really understands the Sorbet guest

Facial Mask, and Texture Correction
Pads.
New SA brand launchesMay saw the launch of south African cosmeceutical brand, Dr. Dermal, developed by a dermatologist, a plastic surgeon and international award-winning chemists.
National marketing manager
Buddy Reardon notes that the Dr.
Dermal team chose to focus on these
three products initially because they
work remarkably well in synergy,
fit into most skincare routines, are
multi-functional and affordable.
“We have several products in
development for launch later this
year, with more planned for future
development,” says Reardon. “Our
unique selling point is that we are
focused on niche products that can
fit into any skincare routine. We
also aim to bring affordable, highly
effective products with the very
latest anti-ageing ingredients to the
South African market.
“All age groups can use Dr.
Dermal. The application thereof
may differ depending on different
skincare conditions and this is the
main reason why we are not selling
online, as it is our belief that clients
need to be assessed by a qualified
skincare professional.”
The Dr Dermal team conducted
a 30-day clinical trial in Durban with
a group of 18 people varying across
different skin types and ages.
“We used a complexion analysis
device and observed the following
averages post-trial: 42% pore
reduction, 55% wrinkle reduction and
67% texture improvement,” concludes
Reardon.

HOW DID TREATMENT BUSINESS IN APRIL
2015 COMPARE WITH APRIL 2014?
InSIdEr SAlonIt seems as if the April holidays took a toll on some salons,
with 13% of you reporting a decrease in treatment business.
However, an amazing 73% of salons reported that treatment
business had gone up, with most of you attributing this to
the introduction of new products and treatments.
Sixty-four-percent of respondents reported an increase in
retail sales. Some of you said this is due to brand loyalty and
customer satisfaction, while others said the April holidays
affected retail sales, with 22% reporting a decrease in retail
business. One respondent reported that
they don’t sell retail at all.
Many of you have introduced new
skin and body treatments in the
last two months, while 21% have
launched new nail gel treatments.
One salon has introduced organic
spray tanning which they say is
doing very well.
Intimate area waxing treatments
are the most popular waxing treatments
for women, with facial and leg waxing
following behind steadily.
The month in numbers
InSIdEr SPAAn overwhelming number of you reported an
increase in treatment business in April 2015 as
compared to the same time last year, citing the large
number of public holidays in the month as a boon for
business. However, retail sales over April told a different
story – with only 36% of you reporting an increase in
sales. One respondent attributed her spa’s increase in
retail to new therapists who were very retail focused,
while another spa’s staff had recently undergone retail
training, which resulted in increased retail sales.
The most popular waxing treatment for women in
spas polled is the intimate area (bikini waxes, Brazilian
waxes, Hollywood waxes), with 54% of respondents
attesting to this. Eyebrows and face are the next in
popularity, with only 7% of you citing legs as the most
popular waxing area.
In terms of new treatments introduced – 36% of
respondents have introduced a new
treatment in the last six months.
Two respondents reported
taking on new brands, which
automatically means new
treatments. Examples of
some of the new treatments
introduced by spas include fat
freezing and micro needling.

14 business tips
The Moroccans traditionally use unroasted Argan
oil to treat skin diseases, such as dry skin, acne,
eczema, wrinkles and skin inflammation. It was
also used to prevent hair loss and dry hair.
Argan oil restores, repairs and renews the skin and
hair. It is extremely rich in essential nutrients, such as
Vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, and contains 80%
of essential fatty acids in its overall composition. These
fatty acids have antioxidant and moisturising properties
which are vital for repairing cell membranes. Together
with the composition of prostaglandins, polyphenols,
ferulic acid, carotenoids and sterols, Argan oil has the
reputation of being anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-
ageing, anti-allergic and antioxidant. In this way it helps
to maintain healthy skin and hair and protects the hair
against heat and harmful agents.
The sterols within the Argan oil are immediately
absorbed into the skin and hair, thus healing the skin and
hair follicles from within.
By definition, PR is public relations. In practice, it’s a
method of communication. Sending out a traditional
press release, holding an event, utilising social
media, or even creating an experiential treatment for the
purposes of product sampling are all forms of PR.
These methods of PR should be designed to create
awareness, engage with media and build a relationship with
the influencer to whom you are talking. The end result is
to generate coverage which reaches your potential target
audience and leads to sales.
Social media allows you to control your own
communication channel, rather than relying on the media
for coverage. Creating and managing a social media page
means being responsible for curating meaningful content
that builds a community of loyal followers who enjoy your
content.
PR is the world’s fastest-growing form of marketing.
Why? Because it’s cost-effective, and, if done correctly, it
offers your brand/spa the opportunity for broad-reaching
coverage.

LYCRA TIGHTS 70 DENIER
The success of this amazing body wrap is due to a combination of a Swiss formulation anti-cellulite body contouring fi rming 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 fi nally 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.

LYCRA TIGHTS 70 DENIER
The success of this amazing body wrap is due to a combination of a Swiss formulation anti-cellulite body contouring fi rming 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 fi nally 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.

18 business tips
The retail area shouldn’t
be treated as an
afterthought, but as the
vital component it is to
your business. Keep it
visible, inviting and accessible. If your
customer can’t see or examine your
retail, they will be less inclined to
purchase.
Stock should be neatly arranged,
with displays clean and sufficiently
stocked at all times. Designate
one person for this task or rotate
responsibility. Depending on your
sales traffic, stock that sells well
should be kept at a minimum of four
to six units, with the remaining stock
kept at a minimum of three or more.
Being low on stock or sold out risks
losing sales. If retail space is limited
ensure that you have sufficient
storage space.
less is moreAvoid clutter and create quiet and
muted retail spaces. Shoppers are
drawn to uncomplicated displays that
tell a story.
Arrange items well. You can
keep product lines together, for
example sun products, hydrating
products, anti-ageing products, etc.
Alternatively, group cleansers, toners,
serums, creams, etc. together.
Arrange colour to promote sales.
Neutral hues provide a blank canvas
for creative merchandising. Prop to
retail ratio should be 20% to 80%.
Take advantage of collateral material
and displays provided by your product
suppliers.
Change retail sections regularly to
keep stock looking fresh and to secure
customer attention at least twice per
year, or with every change of season.
It can change as frequently as four to
six weeks.
Following any sales, as products
are removed, immediately fill empty
spaces. Always sell from the front and
replace stock from the back.
Hot spotCreate a hot spot, for example at
the check-out desk, to display your
seasonal promotions, a new product
or impulse product. They will grab
clients’ attention during check-out
and clients will start looking out for
the current ‘hot’ product.
Fifteen to twenty percent of your
spa space should be allocated to
retail. Retail areas can also be situated
in between treatment rooms, near
relaxation areas and outside the
bathroom, for clients to view when
they linger or as they pass. Customers
need to see something five times, from
the time they enter the salon/spa, until
they check out, in order to activate the
impression in their minds, eg. window
display, front desk, change room,
mani/pedi station, etc. You can use
tent cards, displays, empty boxes and
ensure that you display the product
name, benefit and price.
Eye levelIt is essential to keep products at eye
level; avoid shelves that are too high
or low as people tend to ignore these
areas. Bottom shelves don’t sell well
so display gift sets, travel packs, etc.
here.
The showcaseYour retail area reflects the professional image of your spa or salon and plays a vital role in delivering retail sales, writes Helena van der Vyver.

Professional Beauty June 2015
Helena van der Vyver of 1ne s.p.a has more than 20 years of experience in the salon and spa industry. She became a spa coach in 2014 for home salons, salons and spas.
With each collection have a product focus per
month/week, depending on foot traffic. Introduce new
products this way, including a frame with information
next to the product.
All products should be priced. Some people
recommend shelf talkers to help customers to
understand your products or to give recommendations.
Others are of the opinion that 93% of spa/salon
clients’ decisions to buy home care are based on
the spa therapist’s recommendation. People buy
from people not shelf talkers. However shelf talkers
can work to promote
specific products, eg.
’Get X when you buy
Y through June 2015’.
Graphics should match
the spa/salon style and
maintain branding.
Don’t position
retail too far from the
entrance. This makes it
difficult for clients who
just want to stop by to
replenish a product. It
is said that the retail
‘sweet spot’ is the first
15 to 20 square metres
of the spa/salon, which
makes for the most
productive part of the
selling floor.
Illuminating the displayIf your lighting is too dim your retail won’t be
visible. People naturally move from darker to lighter
areas. Guide them into retail areas with lighting
cues. Products should be kept out of direct sunlight.
Keep retail areas open and avoid keeping them
locked up behind glass or counters. Allow ‘play’ areas
with samples, testers, pamphlets and DVDs to provide
product information, etc. In this manner a sensory
connection is made with the product. Senses can
further be stimulated with evocative spa/salon images,
and aromas created with a fragrance burning among
displays to draw the customers’ attention.
Finally, add a personal touch – let all therapists pick
a weekly favourite retail product. Place a little note
(bottle tag/place setting card holder) next to it with
the message ‘Mariska’s favourite’. This will catch the
customer’s eye and provide reassurance that someone
else is using the product and thinks it is good. If
celebrities use any of the products they can also be
marked with a notice. PB

A client is leaving your spa after
a treatment. She has her purse
in hand, as well as a product
that she has bought, and she is
paying.
“Thank you,” she says. “That was amazing.”
“Such a pleasure, Mrs Chakane. You look
wonderful. Take care.”
Mrs Chakane smiles and leaves.
deja VuStop right there. Rewind. Replay.
“Thank you so much,” she says. “That was
amazing.”
‘Such a pleasure, Mrs Chakane. You look
wonderful and I’m delighted at the way your
skin has responded. I’d like to see you again
in four weeks. Let’s find a date that suits you.”
Secure a bookingAnd before you know it, you have the next
booking.
Pre-booking your client’s next treatment
fills your booking sheets and it makes life
easy for your clients. They will have a sense of
confidence, knowing their skin is being taken
care of on a ‘long term basis’, and they will
love that they don’t have to hassle to secure
a booking.
And of course they will experience excellent
results if they come to your spa or salon for
repetitive treatments. This is where the initial
client consultation and client card is key. It is
up to the therapist, on ‘Day One’, to obtain the
client’s information, skin and body concerns
and to establish his or her treatment goals.
The therapist has to take control of the client’s
experience, results, home care and rebooking.
Debbie Merdjan is CEO and founder of the Camelot Group - encompassing health & skin care training. 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.
Pre-booking your client’s next treatment is vital
for driving revenue and ensuring client
retention, writes debbie Merdjan.
resultsI’ve developed a Strategy that I call the Four Rules for Results:
• ThoroughConsultation
• ExceptionalTreatment
• Retailandhomeadvice
• RebookandPre-book
Rebooking, by the way, is one treatment booking date. Pre-
booking is several treatment booking dates. Pre-booking is
always the ideal.
Staff must understand that they are expected to rebook or pre-
book clients and it should be part of their employment contract.
If your employees think you do not care about rebookings, they
will not care either. It is important to tell them your expectations
and to monitor their figures carefully. Training and role-playing
come in handy here.
Adding upLet’s look at some figures:
Average Client Treatment Spend – R400
Spa Client Base – 600 clients
Annual Visits – 13
Per Client Treatment Value – R5200 per year
x 600 Clients = R3120000
I won’t do all the maths, but if the clients were not rebooked
and came for seven treatments instead of 13, the revenue loss
would be close to R1500000. That’s a huge loss for any business!
You need to build a culture around increasing the number of
rebookings. Remember that it is easier and cheaper to retain an
existing customer than the marketing and advertising costs for
attracting a new customer.
Go forth. Rebook and pre-book! PB

Tadej Feregotto is CEO of CE.way Regulatory Consultants Ltd., a company that specialises in EU regulatory consulting for cosmetic products.
Labelling is the first
aspect of the product
that the consumer sees,
so this is obviously a
very important part of
the product when it comes to sales.
However, the product label is also the
first thing that an inspector would
see on a product, so it is also vital
from the regulatory point of view.
The EU cosmetics legislation
(regulation 1223/2009) contains
some very specific labelling
requirements, which are described in
article 19 of the regulation. Labelling is
also a part of the product information
file and it has to be uploaded to
the CPNP (Cosmetic Products
Notification Portal) to complete the
product notification.
According to the regulation, the
container and the outer packaging
of cosmetic products have to bear
the following information in indelible,
easily legible and visible lettering: the
name and address of the responsible
person; the country of origin, if the
product is imported from countries
outside of the EU; nominal content of
the product at the time of packaging,
given by weight or volume; date
of minimum durability or period
after opening; precautions for use;
batch number of manufacture or the
reference for identifying the cosmetic
product; function of the cosmetic
product, unless it is clear from its
presentation; list of ingredients
(which may be indicated on the outer
packaging alone).
Some of these elements may
also be mentioned on an enclosed
or attached leaflet, label, tape, tag
or card if it’s impossible to list them
on the labels. In that case an open
book symbol should be placed on
the label, which indicates that some
information about the product can
be found elsewhere.
Certain information on the labels
needs to be translated into different
languages, depending on where
you intend to sell your cosmetic
products. The EU consists of 28
different countries, and it has 24
official languages. Some countries
even have more than one official
language (for example Belgium and
Finland), which complicates things
even further. The information that
has to be translated on the labels
is the following: product function,
Continuing our series on what to know when breaking into the eU cosmetic products market, Tadej Feregotto looks at what information to include on labels.
Cosmetic product labelling in the EU
precautions for use, nominal content
of the product, and date of minimum
durability if the symbol to indicate the
date of minimum durability or period
after opening isn’t used.
As already mentioned in some
previous articles, claims are also an
important part of the product, and
they mostly appear on cosmetic
product labels. The EU has published
a separate regulation that deals
specifically with cosmetic product
claims, but let’s just emphasise here
once again that each claim made on
the cosmetic product label (unless
obvious or a clear exaggeration)
should be substantiated, and that
claims should be in line with the
definition of the cosmetic product in
the EU. PB

The Occupational Health and Safety Act of
South Africa aims to provide for the health
and safety of persons at the workplace and
for all those who come into contact with the
workplace.
First and foremost, no matter how boring and time-
consuming it may seem, each and every spa owner/
manager is responsible for ensuring that they become
familiar with the Health and Safety Act. Make sure you
have a printed copy of the Act in your staffroom that
visible for all staff members to see.
I would suggest that you raise, at your weekly meetings,
one or two points that relate to the Act, to ensure all staff
are on the same page when it comes to the health and
safety of your clients and themselves.
There are three sections of the Act I would like to quote
directly, but, before doing so I must stress that there has
to be a minimum of one staff member on site at all times
who is fully trained in First Aid. You need to take this into
account if your staff are working shifts. Remember that an
up-to-date First Aid qualification is one that is not older
than 12 months.
Safe houseBy law every spa must implement health and safety measures, which need to be managed by employees who have been trained in these measures, writes Marisa dimitriadis.

Please also ensure that you have met with a fire
consultant to ensure you are fully within regulations
in terms of fire escapes, ensuring that the fire escape
routes are kept clear at all times. Fire extinguishers
must be in working condition and regularly serviced.
Ensure that on-duty staff are able to operate the fire
extinguishers. Have a fire exit route and have fire
drills.
THE ACTI’ve highlighted three sections of the Occupational
Health and Safety Act below:
General duties of employers to their employeesSection 8 – Every employer shall provide and maintain, as far as is reasonably practicable, a working environment that is safe and without risk to the health of his employees, including: (a) the provision and maintenance of systems of

article or substance which he has
to produce, process, use, handle,
store or transport and any plant or
machinery which he is required or
permitted to use, as well as with
the precautionary measures which
should be taken and observed
with respect to those hazards;
(b) inform the health and safety

terms of section 40; and
(c) inform a health and safety
representative as soon as
reasonably practicable of the
occurrence of an incident in
the workplace or section of
the workplace for which such

General duties of employees at work
Section 14 – Every employee shall at work:(a) take reasonable care
for the health and safety of himself
and of other persons who may be
affected by his acts or omissions;
(b) as regards any duty or requirement
imposed on his employer or any
other person by this Act, co-

unhealthy comes to his attention,
as soon as practicable report such
situation to his employer or to the
health and safety representative
for his workplace or section
thereof, as the case may be, who
shall report it to the employer; and

which may affect his health or
which has caused an injury to
himself, report such incident to his
employer or to anyone authorised
thereto by the employer, or to his
health and safety representative,
as soon as practicable.
Remember that it is your duty and
responsibility to make sure your staff
and clients are safe in your premises,
so be prepared. PB

would describe the Randburg branch
as a more tranquil environment, with
natural tones. Sitting in the relaxation
lounge and the pedicure lounge, you
are surrounded by visuals of trees and
you feel like you are in the Knysna
forests.
“There is LED lighting and a
dedicated sound system in each room
so that clients can choose what they
would like to listen to.”
Another differentiating factor
between the two spas is that all 11
treatment rooms at Randburg have
their own serenity garden, so that
clients who book in for full-day or half-
day packages can really relax in their
own personal space.

skin thanks to various fruit extracts, organic sweet
almond oil and bamboo stem extract among others.
Mio’s Future Proof Firming Body Butter seals
the deal by providing resilience and fighting free
radicals to keep the skin strong and supple with a
healthy 24-hour glow. For best results, therapists
should use deep, upward strokes toward the heart.
Hyaluronic acidThe experts at optiphi believe that a very important
ingredient to look out for in the winter months is
hyaluronic acid. They say: “This compound is a
major natural component of the skin and plays an
important role in tissue repair and maintaining skin
firmness and structure. You can reinstate intense
and lasting skin moisture with optiphi’s Hyaluronic
Acid Active-Complex Masque. This masque has
active benefits such as skin plumping, reinstating
and rebalancing cellular metabolism and providing
peak hydration for your skin.”
To ensure that the skin’s moisture balance is at
optimal levels, optiphi’s new moisturiser nourishes
with vitamins and minerals, limits skin dehydration
and provides the skin with long-lasting, intense
hydration. Active benefits include skin-plumping,
reinstating and rebalancing cellular metabolism and
peak skin moisture content. R

What to avoidIf skin is dehydrated one must avoid
products containing ethanol/alcohol
as this will exacerbate the dehydration
problem and highly fragranced
products can cause irritation, redness
and itchiness, again compounding the
dehydrated condition.
So says RégimA’s Jacqui Faucitt,
who explains that humectants attract
moisture to the stratum corneum.
“However, if the climate is very dry,
then the moisture is actually drawn
out of the skin, so be careful during
dry winters. Look for emollients such
as plant oils, and peptides which
are now playing a significant role in
maintaining a healthier, more youthful
skin and. With long-term use these
ingredients are seen to reverse skin
damage and are a simple, effective
non-invasive method of delivery into
the skin.”
The new RégimA Zone Age Reversal
Night Complex is a deeply moisturising
night treatment designed to reduce
signs of ageing, revive and rejuvenate
the skin whilst you sleep. Its overnight
action stimulates repair to stressed and
environmentally damaged skin, while
imparting essential moisturisation and
rejuvenation activity to smooth the
skin and reduce the appearance of
fine lines and wrinkles.
For very dehydrated skins, Faucitt
believes a perfect combination would
include RêgimA’s Scar Repair Forte
Super Strength Serum, used over the
Zone Reversal Night Complex.
“Hyaluronic acid is nicknamed
the ‘key to the fountain of youth’ as
it is the most important moisture
capturing and holding substance in
the body. Injectable fillers used to
plump out wrinkles contain hyaluronic
acid. For topical use, hyaluronic
acid is now available in penetrating
microspheres. The new RégimA
Zone Super Smoother is the ultimate
anti-ageing moisture boosting gel,
designed to smooth the skin’s surface,
providing unparalleled, immediate
and long-term ultimate dermal and
epidermal moisturisation, with instant
tightening, smoothing and plumping
without greasiness,” states Faucitt.
Success storyDermaFix Moisturiser Rx has been a
phenomenal success since its 2012
launch, according to DermaFix MD
Ursula Hunt.
“The sheer power of the unusual
ingredients reverses the skin looking
and feeling dehydrated. Moisturiser
Rx helps in cases of xerotic eczema
and xerotic dermatitis conditions,
which are significantly relieved on
application,” comments Hunt. “The
occlusive ingredients have been
shown to reduce water loss by 98%,
proving to be an effective humectant,
whereas oils only manage 20-30% in
water loss reduction.”
Collagen powerFrom Elemis, the Pro-Collagen Marine
Cream and the Pro-Collagen Lifting
Neck & Bust Treatment help with
moisture and anti-ageing on the face,
neck and chest area. Pro Collagen
Marine Cream was clinically proven to
reduce the depth of wrinkles by up to
78% and increase hydration levels by
45% in 15 days.
Says Celest Els, Elemis national
training manager for South Africa: “In
clinical trials Pro Collagen Lifting Neck
and Bust was proven to reduce the
skin’s crêpiness by 33%, increase skin
firmness by 17% and increase elasticity
by 14% in just 28 days.”
She adds that Elemis’ Exotic
Coconut Rub and Milk Ritual Wrap
drenches the skin with moisture for
immediate softness. “This nourishing
treatment will improve the skin’s
colour, texture, and clarity. The body
is gently exfoliated with the exotic
coconut rub that contains a traditional
Balinese recipe of coconut, mung
bean, spices and lavender to polish
the skin. Warmed Skin Nourishing
Milk Bath is then drizzled over the
entire body before cocooning in a
comforting wrap.”
For home care, Els recommends
the Frangipani Monoi oil to help

From the oceansThe Thalgo Source Marine range is
designed to infuse the skin with water
and light using only the finest marine-
based ingredients. The first of these
ingredients is Sève Bleue Des Océans,
which provides intense hydration and
remineralisation. Thalgo’s ‘A Well of
Vital Water’ ingredient ensures deep
24-hour hydration. Thirdly, Lumisource
is an active ingredient that boosts the
skin’s radiance and luminosity through
cellular detoxification.
Thalgo has created a hydrating
facial named ‘Heart of the Ocean
Ritual’. This professional treatment
concentrates the vital force and
benefits of the oceans to help restore
perfect skin quality, delivering
intense and lasting hydration. The
ritual features professional new
product formulas that are rich in re-
mineralising powers, along with a new
signature Thalgo massage inspired by
the rhythmic movements of the sea. In
this way the skin is replenished, deeply
hydrated, smooth and radiant.
Retail products from the Thalgo
Source Marine range include
Absolute Hydra-Marine Concentrate
(an intensive seven-day treatment
designed to be the perfect winter
‘shooter’ for the skin). It contains a
high concentration of hyaluronic acid.
There is also Hydra-Marine Serum,
an ‘SOS’ radiance rescue formula
and the perfect companion to the
Absolute Hydra-Marine Concentrate.
Its crystalline gel targets all causes of
loss of radiance at the source to help
restore the complexion’s original glow
and luminosity.
Ultra Hydra-Marine Mask is a five-
minute express skin-re-plumping
radiance booster that instantly
quenches the skin’s thirst, along
with Sève Bleue Des Oceans, which
relaunches the natural hydration
process.

The QMS Moisturising Balance is
a nourishing cream for mature, dry
and stressed skin that is especially
recommended as a night-time
moisturiser during winter months.
Also from QMS, Cellular Marine is
an intensive anti-ageing cream based
on the revolutionary technology
that harnesses the power of stem

Highly effective during the day or
night, Cellular Marine enhances the
stimulation of new skin cells and
improves metabolism to leave skin
radiant. With every application, the
life span of the skin stem cells will
be significantly extended and skin
ageing decelerated.
The QMS Pearltouch Duo is a
deeply moisturising skin identical
cream without emulsifiers, stabilisers
and other chemical additives. The
water-free formulation ensures
the most effective penetration of
the ingredients, even in extreme
temperatures. The exclusive concept
of active ingredients is based on
natural substances from pure silk
protein and precious pearl extracts
from Japan, all of which replenish
precious moisture deposits.
Mud scrubThe Baobab tree is fondly called the
‘Tree of Life’. Its kernels, contained
within the Baobab fruit pod, yield a
rich, golden scented oil traditionally
used by African women to protect
their beautiful skin against the harsh
African savannah environment. The
oil has strong natural moisturising
properties and is commonly used
to both prevent and cure dry skin
conditions of the face and body.
MatsiMela’s Baobab Seed
Exfoliating Mud Scrub is a product
with a difference as the effect it has
on the skin is exfoliating – thanks to
the natural silica. Its small particle
size results in a smooth and polished
exfoliation.
Excellent for repairing and
maintaining dry skin, MatsiMela’s
Baobab Seed Tissue oil contains
natural Vitamin E oil, which aids
in better absorption. In addition
the product contains 10% baobab
oil, renowned for its excellent
moisturising properties.
Wheat germ oil, which is naturally
high in Vitamin E, is also included in
the formulation. The combination of
these oils moisturises the skin and
keeps it soft and beautiful.
For the eyesThe sensitive thin layer of skin around
the eye presents a complex problem
in lasting hydration without clogging
and blocking the pores, particularly
in winter, says Kerryne Neufeldt of
iSlices.
“In answer to this challenge, we have
developed the eyeSlices therapeutic
eye treatment pads that provide an
instant hydration effect of 12 times to
the skin to improve the appearance of
signs of ageing, tiredness and redness,
as well as puffiness and dark circles.
“eyeSlices combine Cryogel
Technology, Saccharide Isomerate
and Aloe Ferox. Saccharide Isomerate
is derived from the D-glucose of
wheat and is similar to that of the
carbohydrate complex found in
human skin. Natural-lasting skin
hydration proceeds from the
inside out, with the underlying
layers of the skin supplying
sufficient moisture upwards.
Saccharide Isomerate mimics
this. It not only binds moisture
to the cells like a water
magnet, ensuring that
moisture is retained by
the cells, but continues
to regulate moisture
in the skin by acting
as a barrier, locking in
moisture for longer from
the inside out, even
under conditions of low
humidity,” explains Neufeldt.
She goes on to say that
Aloe Ferox from the Cape Aloe,
when used in gel form, demonstrates
remarkable healing properties,
including anti-inflammatory and
immune modulating activities as
well as antibacterial and antiviral
properties.
“Another game-changer comes
in the form of Cryogel Technology,”
comments Neufeldt. “This is a
dermal delivery system that helps
to transport these ingredients and
moisture effectively into the skin.
“By understanding the natural
process of hydration and closely
replicating it in product form,
hydrated beautiful skin is fast
becoming a dream come true.” PB

39 treatment review - hydrating facial
I was fascinated
to discover
that my facial would be preceded
by an in-depth skin analysis using
Anesi’s SkinView diagnostic
device, launched at last year’s
Professional Beauty Johannesburg
Show.
Said Yolandi Mestre, Anesi Brand
Manager: Anesi Skin and Body, at
Exclusive Beauty Solutions (EBS):
“SkinView has generated a lot of
interest in the industry, and we have
already sold several units to Anesi
stockists in South Africa, as well as to
a client in Zimbabwe.”
The SkinView is the size of a
cellphone and has an incredibly
powerful camera that allows the
therapist to accurately analyse
your skin in terms of hydration and
elasticity, oiliness, pore size, melanin
levels, wrinkles and broken capillaries.
My SkinView analysis revealed
a very dehydrated skin with low
elasticity, as well as large pore size.
“The Aqua Vital Hydro Nutrition
facial was specifically developed
to address dehydrated skin,” noted
Mestre. “Anesi’s Aqua Vital range
is based on nanotechnology and
incorporates two of our flagship
ingredients – 3D Hydra Acqua
Polarsome (APS) and Celldetox. The
former comprises polarised water
which penetrates into the deepest
layers of the skin, while Celldetox
is a natural active ingredient with
detoxifying properties. It boosts
the cellular metabolic waste system
and improves the skin’s texture and
appearance.”
To commence the facial, Mestre
used the Fluide Démaquillant Yeux
to remove my make-up. She then
cleansed my skin using the Aqua
Vital Dêmaquillant (a milk cleanser)
and a pair of mitts. The cleansing
process was completed with Anesi’s
toner, the Aqua Vital Lotion.
For the exfoliation process,
Mestre mixed 10 grams of Anesi’s
Peeling Enzymatique with 30ml of
Aqua Vital Lotion.
“Peeling Enzymatique contains
Pineapple Stem Extract, one of
the best enzymes for stimulating
rejuvenation,” stated Mestre.
After five minutes, she added a
bit of water to emulsify the peel for
easy removal with mitts. Aqua Vital
Lotion was applied to balance the
skin’s pH level.
Next, Mestre massaged into my
skin the Huile Soie Confort, a rich and
extremely nourishing serum. Once
my skin had absorbed the serum, the
Masque Vidalys was applied. This felt
cool and soothing and was left on for
15 minutes, during which time Mestre
massaged my neck and face. My skin
absorbed most of the masque, clearly
indicating exactly how dehydrated it
had been.
The last two stages of the treatment
were the application of Aqua Vital
Serum, which contains Anesi’s highest
percentage of active ingredients,
and the Aqua Vital Crême Confort, a
hydrating cream.
A post treatment SkinView analysis
showed that my hydration had
increased dramatically, from 7% to 37%.
Elasticity went from 5% to 30%; pore
size reduced from 80% to 46%; and the
lines around my eyes had reduced from
53% to 35%.
The results speak for themselves! PB
The Anesi Aqua Vital Hydro Nutrition facial proves to be just the thing for dehydrated skin, as Belinda Wewege discovers.

40 treatment review - hydrating facial
On the treatment menu
at Adamant Beauty in
Boskruin, Johannesburg,
The Six Sensational
Facial is described as ‘the
ultimate in relaxation and pampering
experiences’ and that’s exactly what it
is. I was delighted to learn from therapist
Francis Houston that this 90-minute
revitalising and hydrating facial would
include a hot oil back massage and
herbal compress treatment, as well as a
double exfoliation hand treatment and a
foot massage.
Before starting the first phase of
the treatment – the back massage –
Houston performed the opening ritual
with the calming sounds of a rain stick.
She then applied the wax from the Six
Massage Candle
( P o m e g r a n a t e
Passion) onto my
back and utilised a
pair of herbal infused
dumplings in the first part of
massage, which felt really soothing.
Next came the use of hot stones to
further relax the muscles. In the last
part of the massage, Houston used
the rain stick to smooth out knots in
my shoulder muscles.
The first stage of the facial was a
pre-cleanse, using the Flawless Facial
Cleansing Oil to remove my make-
up. Following this, Houston cleansed
my face with the Gentle Foaming
Cleanser, and used a hot compress
to rinse off my face.
“I’m now going to perform a double
exfoliation – first with the Cranberry
Exfoliating Cream followed by the
Brightening Enzyme Peel,” explained
Houston. “While very gentle, this
exfoliation process really smooths
out the skin’s surface.”
Once the Brightening Enzyme
Peel had been applied, Houston
turned on the steamer to open my
pores. She then also applied the
peel to my hands, which were put
into a pair of warm mittens. This felt
wonderfully comforting and relaxing.
After about five minutes,
Houston turned off the steamer
and performed an extraction on my
forehead, nose and chin. Thereafter
she applied wax from the Six Massage
Candle (Pomegranate Passion) to
massage my face and neck. At one
stage she used cold marble stones,
which felt really refreshing, to soothe
the skin.
Next came the Brightening Peel
Off Mask, which covered the entire
face, including my eyelids. This is an
alginate mask and I could instantly
feel its revitalising and rejuvenating
effects.
The mask was left on for 10 minutes,
during which time Houston performed
the hand and foot massages.
Once she peeled off the mask,
Houston applied some O2 Serum,
following by the Anti-Ageing
Moisturiser, which is specifically for
dry and dehydrated skin. The last
stage was the Maginificent Eye Gel,
which was applied with the aid of the
cold marble stones.
This was a wonderfully pampering
treatment and my skin felt really
hydrated when I left the salon. PB
The six sensational Facial treatment comprises a whole lot more than a traditional facial, writes Joanna Sterkowicz.

Pregnancy treatments
can today be performed
throughout pregnancy,
providing many benefits.
These include increasing
skin elasticity, calming irritated
and stressed skin, easing heavy
legs and itchy skin, and releasing
physical tension and discomfort in
the back and shoulders. There is
also the release of psychological and
physiological tension through head
massage.
Benefits from pregnancy
treatments go beyond the surface,
in that they help to develop sensory
and movement awareness, reduce
the risk of pregnancy complications,
contribute to nurturing maternal
behaviour, and reduce the incidence
of post-partum depression.
Did you know that every seven
seconds a woman falls pregnant,
and approximately 80% of pregnant
women suffer from back pain?
Internationally, maternity spas are
viewed as a necessity and prove
popular among salons and spas
as it makes business sense – it’s
not seasonal and it’s an untapped,
substantial and sustainable market. In
India and Japan, massage is regarded
as an essential part of a midwife’s
skills. Women are traditionally given
a regular massage during pregnancy
and, then for 40 days after birth, new
mothers and their babies receive a
daily massage to help them recover
from the physical and emotional
strain of childbirth.
In some ways you might say that
improve the very integrity of skin
cells – helping skin to stretch and
recover.
So, just how do we embrace this
market? By making your pregnant
and post-partum clients welcome
and ensuring that treatments
are fun, glamorous and exciting.
Offer variety, add-on treatments
and make sure that they feel
comfortable.
Here is a tip from the founders
of the award-winning pregnancy
skincare range, Mama Mio:
expecting mums should incorporate
a nutritious diet and an exercise
plan into their daily regime for
optimum benefits. PB

While there are circumstances
under which massage can’t be

Certain chemicals can
pose a serious threat
to the unborn child, so
therapists must be extra
attentive to ensure they
are using toxic-free products.
“A recent toxics coalition report has
identified that chemicals in certain
beauty products can disrupt women’s
development and hormonal systems.
As a precaution, chemicals such as
retinoids, which are found in many
anti-ageing moisturisers, and salicylic
acid, used to cleanse and treat certain
skin disorders, should ideally be
avoided.
“Pregnant women also have to be
careful with essential oils. Some oils
are very stimulating and can accelerate
your heart rhythm. As a consequence,
the baby’s heart rate increases and this
can sometimes lead to a miscarriage.
It is important to be aware that, like
black pepper and sage, only some
essential oils have this effect,” says

Massage techniquesElemis uses tried and tested massage
techniques that are combined and
adapted to each stage of pregnancy.
Japanese Camellia oil is the massage
medium and ensures ultimate hydration
of the skin and helps prevent stretch
marks. It is also ideal as a home-care
body moisturiser and can be applied over
the bust, tummy, buttocks and thighs.
Japanese Camellia body oil contains
sweet almond oil, also making it perfect
for baby massage.
The Elemis treatment includes massage
on the back, legs, hand and arms, followed
by a foot massage and the application
of instant refreshing
gel. A facial massage is performed
with Elemis’ Cellular Recovery Skin
Bliss Capsules. The treat is finished
off with a scalp massage with the
option of a skin-nourishing milk bath
to treat the dry scalp to help hydrate
and nourish the skin.
Skin traumasJacqui Faucitt of RégimA points
out that more than one out of
every two pregnant women can
expect to develop acne within the
first trimester, particularly if they
suffered from acne in their youth.
Says Faucitt: “RégimA peels have
proven to be most effective and safe
during pregnancy to help treat and
prevent potential skin ‘horrors’, not
only for the face but areas where
the skin may be showing signs of
stretching.
“The Zone Derma Zest Cleansing
& Toning Gel can have an impact on oily, blocked
pores, while Zone Pigment Perfector contains the very
latest high technology actives, safely controlling any
hyperpigmentation. Scar Repair Forté Super Strength
Serum is multifunctional and can be a ‘life saver’ for any
inflammation and acne flare-ups, as well as preventing
and treating stretch marks.”

After the babyJanine Thomson of Lamprobe SA
notes that to get post-pregnancy
bodies back to normal, micro-needling
offers brilliant results when coupled
with the appropriate ingredients.
Thomson continues: “Post
pregnancy, women also acquire
additional lesions due to the hormonal
changes and increased growth factors.
Skin tags tend to form in those areas
susceptible to friction. An increased
number of acrochordons are found
under and between the breasts, in the
neck and under the arms. The easiest
and least invasive removal method
would be with a single Lamprobe
treatment.”
Diffuse redness is most successfully
treated with IPL (Intense Pulsed
Light), according to Thomson.
“Dilated capillaries are very common
post-pregnancy and these can be
easily removed with a number of
different modalities on the market
depending on the site of the lesion,
approximately three months after
delivery. A single treatment with
the Lamprobe will remove dilated
capillaries above the waist, where
the site of the lesion is within the
papillary dermis. For unsightly dilated
capillaries present in the reticular
dermis, laser treatments are the best
modality and sclerotherapy is advised
especially on the legs to flush out the
capillaries.”
Cherry Angiomas, also known as
Campbell de Morgan Spots or Ruby
spots, are the bright red papules
often found on the abdomen post
pregnancy, due to the hormonal
changes. Common treatments are
laser, Lamprobe and IPL. These
are effectively thermo-coagulated
in one treatment, forming a scab
instantaneously.
Flab and stretch marksSay Naomi Olivier of Medilase/Hitech
Lasers: “Post-baby excess fat can be
effectively trimmed down by a non-
invasive body-contouring procedure
with Viora’s Reaction RF system or the
V30 Platform with the skin-tightening
handpiece. Both the Reaction
and V30 platform utilise Viora’s
proprietary CORE technology with
three individual RF channels and a
fourth channel incorporating all three
modes for greater depth penetration
and control. The skin-tightening
procedures are non-invasive and
include body and facial contouring,
cellulite reduction, stretch-mark
reduction and tightening.”
Viora systems’ technology applies
an advanced combination of RF
and vacuum therapy to offer highly
effective treatments.
CORE technology (Channelling
Optimized RF Energy) features
three distinct RF frequency channels
(0.8MHz, 1.7MHz and 2.45MHz) and
an additional fourth multi-channel
mode, combining all three RF
frequencies. The major benefits of
these multiple RF frequencies include
superior treatment control, precision
targeting, a broader dermal effect,
and higher energy absorption for
optimal clinical results.
The device used for treating stretch
marks is a non-ablative fractional
1565nm laser (Lumenis ResurFX). At
each impact, the laser generates an
array of focused microspots with a
density adjustable by the operator
and varying from 50 to 500 beams/
cm². The practitioner can choose any
of the six different shapes (hexagon,
circle, doughnut, square, rectangle, or
line), and scan sizes ranging from 5 to
18mm, with energy of up to 70 mJ/
spot.
The Lumenis Photofractional
treatment is a highly effective method
for improving the appearance of
stretch-marks on different areas of
your body. The technology combines
two solutions, IPL (Intense Pulsed
Light) and ResurFX non-ablative
skin resurfacing, so that both skin
tone and texture can be treated
simultaneously. PB

Most peels are made up
of a combination of
active ingredients such
as Retinol, antioxidants
and acids.
“These types of formulations have
many target sites versus a single
acid targeting one specific concern,”
says Sonette Donker of Sandton-
based clinic, Skin iD. “The addition of
antioxidants makes it a more pleasant
experience for the client and reduces
the downtime from a few days to
nothing at all.
“People have very little time and
want instant results, so short, very
active peeling treatments are popular.
The trend of combining the peels with
active pre and post peel home care is
gaining traction.
“In my clinic I mainly deal with
adult acne. Hyperpigmentation due
to hormonal imbalances is also a big
Face off!The winter months present the ideal time to perform peels on clients to treat a variety of skin concerns.
Glycolic acid, Phytic acid,
Azelic acid, Salicylic acid, Mandelic acid, Lactic acid, Ferulic acid, Kojic acid and
Trichloracetic acid (TCA) are still the most popular acids
in formulations. Sonette Donker

action, combined with high percentages of anti-inflammatories, crucial for treating conditions such as active acne.”

concern, predominantly in
my female clients, as well
as photo-ageing due to an
excess of sun exposure. This is
typical of very active, outdoor
sports people like runners and
cyclists. Interestingly, I treat a lot
of photo-ageing not only on the
face and neck, but on the chest, arms
and hands.”
Donker notes that Glycolic acid,
Phytic acid, Azelic acid, Salicylic acid,
Mandelic acid, Lactic acid, Ferulic
acid, Kojic acid and Trichloracetic
acid (TCA) are still the most popular
acids in formulations.
“My favourite acid is TCA due
to the fact you leave it on the skin
and it treats severe damage. I get
amazing results with it and it is very
affordable,” she states.
The depthsKaren Ellithorne of Spa & Salon
Solutions points out that peeling also
treats skin laxity and loss of volume,
fine lines and wrinkles, open pores
and coarse texture, congested and
sluggish skin and rosacea.
“There are three levels of
peels,” continues Ellithorne.
“Superficial peels are
generally achieved when
working with mild AHAs and
BHAs, which act on the skin’s
surface (Stratum Corneum)
by gently breaking down the
adhesion of the keratinocytes
and dissolving the protein
bond which binds them
together. This will bring about a
gentle exfoliation.
“Medium depth peels can
be achieved when working
with AHAs and BHAs but at a
stronger concentration to work
at mid epidermal level (Stratum
Granulosum). The exfoliation effect
will move up through the layers
of the skin towards the surface,
resulting in flaking of the epidermis
and a thinning effect on the Stratum
Corneum. Clients may experience a
rosy frost on the skin which indicates
partial de-epithelialisation.”
According to Ellithorne, in deep
chemical peels a higher concentrate
of peeling agents causes a
detachment of the keratinocytes and
consequent epidermolysis, whereby
the entire epidermis will sheath
away from the dermis to be renewed
and regenerated. “The skin will
frost completely white and this will
indicate that the peel has reached
the papillary dermis. Deep chemical
peels should only performed by
doctors and an occlusive dressing
must be applied to the skin during
the healing period.”
All year roundJacqui Faucitt of RégimA believes
that it is possible to have chemical

peeling treatments all year round with
natural, un-buffered peels being key.
“Buffered peels strip the skin, causing
extreme irritation and inflammation
yet providing little if no therapeutic
action. Skin would be prone to post
inflammatory hyperpigmentation
(PIH).
“Safe, effective peels should
contain natural acids with known
therapeutic action, combined
with high percentages of anti-
inflammatories, crucial for treating
conditions such as active acne.
Because of the use of buffered
peels causing problems it has cast
doubt over all peels regarding the
safety during the summer months.
Extensive research and trialling by
RégimA over many years has proven
that this does not have to
be the case. It is better
for one to have a course
of peels which gradually
improve a condition, such
as melasma, rather than a
short sharp shock, as inevitably the
pigmentation returns.”
Faucitt describes RégimA’s Zone
Power Peel (available in 30% and
50%) as a totally new generation
‘turbo peel’. They contain six natural
acids including Peach, Raspberry,
Apple, Malic, Lactic, Citric, plus
healing, repairing, smoothing active
ingredients.
The Power Peels boast a rapid
exfoliating action, short treatment
time, all with minimised downtime.
Says Faucitt: “They prompt a flash
effect in terms of rapid increased
skin radiance and glow and prompt
collagen and elastin biosynthesis.
There is an instant smoothing effect
on fine lines and wrinkles.
“The peels are safe for all skins
and ethnicities and can be used
during pregnancy. They are a safe
alternative to deep peels such as TCA
and phenol peels, as well as laser and
IPL treatments.”
Faucitt also references RégimA’s

Controlled wound “The art of peeling is having the
experience to correctly apply a suitable
peeling medium in order to produce
a controlled wound at the required
depth of the skin, without scarring

“Enerpeel chemical peels are pre-

application brushes and preparatory

required and two to three peels may
be performed from one vial.
“The peel process is simple and
easy to perform. One is required to
prepare the skin with the Enerpeel

the chemoexfoliant solution,
using the special applicator
brush which attaches to the vial.
The solution must be left on for
between two and 10 minutes,
following by an application of

like cuticle oil and hand cream. These
are items that should be selling like
hot cakes, yet I have come across
so many women who don’t have, or
make use, of these items. Woman
regularly ask me for advice on what
to use on their skin and nails and
many of them visit nail salons, so
why are they not getting advice and
purchasing from you, the therapist?
Initiating a saleSo where does it all begin and where
does it all end? The answer is – you!
Initiating a sale can develop into an
ongoing cycle that should continue
over a long period of time, or it can
so easily end just like that. It’s all
about creating a need for an item and
the reason for purchasing it.
The selling process begins from
the minute the client walks through
your doors and you greet them,
gradually building your relationship
throughout the entire service.
Some people may need a little
more convincing to purchase retail,
while others will buy anything at the
drop of a hat. However, if you have
passion and believe in what you are
selling, half the battle is won and
closing the sale becomes effortless.
The most important thing a client
needs to have is trust – in the person
selling to them and in the advice they
are given. Selling an item to someone
that you know will not benefit them
will only result in mistrust and no
repeat sales.
Key pointersBy following some of the steps
below during the service you can set
yourself up for a successful sale.
■ Consultation is probably the best
way to initiate a sale as it assists
the nail stylist in assessing the
client’s nails and to prescribe the
Most well-known

product brands
offer everything
a salon and
nail technician requires, from a full
complement of professional and retail
product lines, to high quality services,
as well as the necessary education and
marketing support.
There is no doubt that any woman
would like the opportunity to try the
products they are interested in before
buying them. Having professional
services performed using these
products offers the ideal opportunity.
It also gives clients the necessary
know how on how to maintain the
longevity of their service.
Every nail client will benefit from at
least two of the ‘must have’ products –

correct service
and product
combination. You
can make the home care
recommendations while you are
performing the treatment.
■ Communicate with your clients as
to their needs and exactly what it
is that they would like to achieve
from their treatment. Make sure
that during the service you educate
them as to a special home care
programme on how to maintain
their service and get the most from
the retail products she purchases.
■ Communication must be two-way.
Use different types of questions to
establish information about your
client’s needs and requirements.
■ Observation and analysis – make
sure that you observe and analyse
the client’s, hands, feet or nails, by
assessing their condition. If a client
has weak nails, dry, torn cuticles,
calluses or dehydrated skin, they
will be ready to take your advice
regarding after care solutions
■ Educating your client will
encourage the correct and proper
use of professional retail products
and create loyal clientele.
■ Create growth through word of
mouth – if your client is receiving
a good professional service,
which meets her needs, and she
is purchasing high-end quality
products which assist in maintain
the longevity of her service, she will
most definitely talk about it.
■ Don’t just talk about a product, try
it on your client. There is nothing
more convincing than using a
product on a client and them
being able to smell it, feel it and
most importantly, see the results.
However, do not recommend
products that you don’t have
available for retail or that you are
not able to try on them.
■ Meeting a client’s expectations – if
you are not providing them with the
appropriate products and correct
information as a nail professional,
they will simply go to the next
salon that does. Don’t just provide
your client with a recommendation
card, be sure to guide them to the
reception area with the products
they are interested in and confirm
that they are happy with what you
have advised.
■ Link selling – this can also be
very beneficial to you and help to
generate extra revenue, income
and commission. Recommend
complementary products to the
ones they are already interested in
buying. Offer alternatives if you are
out of stock.
■ Attitude and approach – be sincere
and show your clients that you
care and are interested in them
and assisting them to achieve their
goals. Finally reassure them that
if they are not sure of something
they are welcome to call and ask
for further advice. Be careful not to
overpromise anything, rather under
promise and over deliver.
Closing the sale means following
through, from the beginning right up
until the absolute very end, making
sure the client walks out of your
nail salon with the recommended
products.
After care essentialsAccording to Yvette Nel, head
educator at LCN, every client should
use the following at home:
Booster or moisturiser for
natural nails: water, acetone and the
majority of artificial products have
a dehydrating effect on the natural
nail, especially the free edge. The
application of these products should
be underneath the natural nail free
edge and around the cuticle area.
Cuticle care: a healthy cuticle
means a healthy nail. Consumers are
moving away from the mind-set that if
they wear artificial nails, the health of
their natural nails isn’t important.
Nail file: I know that as nail techs we
prefer our clients not to file their own
nails but the fact is that if you do not
sell them a nail file, they will buy one
form the retail shop down the street.
Hand care: this can be a scrub,
mask, serum or whatever suits
the need of the client’s hands. Try
recommending something different to
just a hand cream.
Sealing base and top coat: the
client loves her nails looking perfect
from fill to fill. By applying a sealing
base and top coat she can have that.
Have testers handy to do quick
demonstrations so the clients can see
and feel results instantly.
In conclusion, be the professional
you strive to be and recommend with
confidence and belief the products
you stock. Then ask them the question
– how many would you like?
Close the sale and double your
turnover this year. PB

59 non-invasive rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is the most
challenging of all cosmetic
surgery procedures.
The nose, being the
central focus of the face,
is obviously very important from an
aesthetic point of view. Any defect,
asymmetry or anatomical abnormality
of the nose can be improved or
corrected by meticulous, well-planned
surgical intervention.
This is known as rhinoplasty and is
often performed simultaneously with
corrective surgery of any breathing
problems, known as septoplasty.
The combination is therefore
referred to as septo-rhinoplasty.
When considering any correction of
nasal imperfections, both the patient
and the surgeon need to consider
various parameters that will determine
whether the surgical approach or the
use of non-invasive (NIR) materials
would improve the aesthetics of the
nose.
Factors to be considered include
the degree of correction required, the
cost of surgery, surgical downtime
(recovery period), the general health
of patient (is the patient an anaesthetic

Once all of the above factors have been well
considered by both surgeon and patient, a
decision is made as to which line of treatment
will be undertaken.
It must be understood that, in certain
situations, NIR may not be a possible alternative
at all.
What exactly is nIr?NIR employs the use of injectables to facilitate
the improvement in nasal aesthetics. These
injectables are characteristically the hyaluronic
acid fillers known as Restylane/Perlane,
Juvederm and Teosyl. (There are approximately
40 filler products currently on the market.)
All of these are prepared in varied viscosities
and the ‘thicker and more viscous’ the injectable,
the longer it will last.
Another aspect of nasal aesthetics is the
appearance of the nasal skin; the most common
request is the removal of small spider-like veins
known as telangiectasia. This is quite easily done
using the IPL laser or a vascular laser. It is not
painful and healing is rapid.
Indications for nIrAs mentioned earlier, certain factors
need be taken into account to
determine whether an invasive
or non-invasive path is taken.
Basically there are two categories
– Primary and Secondary.
The Primary category of
patient typically presents with
minimal aesthetic defects,
which would not necessitate a
surgical intervention. Injectables
can correct small ‘dents’, improve
nasal tip projection and correct
slight asymmetries.
In the Secondary category, the
patient has undergone a primary surgical
rhinoplasty with less than satisfactory results,
requiring revisionary treatment. Secondary
can also include patients who have sustained
a trauma to the nose, leaving them with small,
unacceptable aesthetic defects which would
respond favourably to injectables. If these are
minor, then fillers can be used, If not, further
secondary rhinoplasty needs to be considered.
How is nIr performed?The most important consideration is the doctor/
surgeon as the results of NIR are totally operator-
dependent. As such, the surgeon must be able to
determine exactly where and what the defect is.
It’s imperative that this be done with the patient
in front of a mirror, whilst the surgeon clearly

marks the areas with a surgical marker. This will ensure
that both surgeon and patient are on the same page.
Good clinical photographs must be taken before and
after the injection and the procedure must be done
under sterile conditions. Local anaesthetic blocks should
be given or EMLA anaesthetic cream applied at least 30
minutes prior to injection. Oral or intravenous sedation
can be used depending on the patient’s pain threshold
and anxiety levels. Application of ice packs to the injected
area is recommended for 24 hours post-injection.
The normal post-injection sequelae must be explained
to the patient, and massage techniques can be suggested
to obviate small lumps and bumps.
Botulinum Toxin in nIrBotulinum Toxin, such as Botox and Dysport, is a very
powerful tool to modulate facial aesthetics. There are
several muscles around the nose which are responsible for
nasal movements, most of which have specific functions.
There is one muscle in particular which pulls the tip of
the nose down, particularly while smiling. This muscle is
known as the Depressor Septi Muscle and there is one on
either side at the lower point of the nose tip. Very small
amounts of Botulinum Toxin injected into this area will
relax the muscle and prevent it from pulling the nose tip
down.
Extreme care should be taken to inject the toxin
accurately into the specific anatomical location to
prevent irregularities in the smile or problems with
patient speech. It should, therefore, be performed by
a doctor or rhinoplasty specialist who understands this
anatomical region.
ConclusionFrom the above information, it can be ascertained that
there is definitely a place for NIR.
As I specialise in rhinoplasty, I suggest that all patients
ensure that whoever they consult with in respect to NIR
has a very good understanding of facial aesthetics, as
well as facial anatomy.
As simple as filler injections/Botulinum Toxin may
seem to be, there are disadvantages which must
be explained in full to all patients. Before and after
photographs should be provided, as well as the option
of contacting previous patients.
