Skin care and management can be over looked by many clinics and this article will review the benefits of adding a skin division to a cosmetic or medical practice.

Botox, dermal fillers and other cosmetic solutions can provide excellent results for many indications. However when treating patients do not forget the skin, good skin will always enhance their appearance.

Why introduce skin care to your clinic?

The skin care market is estimated to be valued at 2.3 billion in the UK by 2019 this market is growing. The current market (leader 2014) is L’Oreal who provides a wide range of High Street beauty products. Many of the high street products have restrictions on the percentage of active ingredients they can use. In medicine the active ingredients within the creams and lotions can be a higher percentage thus providing a more effective solution for many skin related medical and cosmetic treatments.

Why create skin care division?

Developing a clinician as a skin care specialist will enhance the treatment portfolio for any clinic. Effective combination treatments using skin peels and micro-skin needling systems can be introduced in the practice.

What type of skin peel is ideal for any clinic?

Clinicians have a lot of choice when introducing chemical peels and skin care products.

The best skin peel systems should have the following:

  • Minimum down time for patients
  • Affective for range of skin types
  • Controlled skin penetration
  • Good safety record with minimum adverse events
  • Easy to use
  • A range of quality creams or lotions to assist with each specific skin conditions

The Alpha Hydroxyl Acid also known as glycolic peels provide a good solution for most skin types. The AHA is classified a superficial peel. For the chemical peel training the NEOSTRATA AHA peel system is used, this peel provides all of the criteria listed above.

These peels are provided in various strengths of AHA 20%, 35%, 50% and 70%. Clinicians will start with 20% peel and provide further treatments at 2 week intervals for a course of 4 treatments to achieve the best results. Individual treatments for facial rejuvenation can be provided for patients (£80-£100). A full course of AHA peel 4 treatment will priced between £300 and £400 and the cost of the peels are inexpensive ranging from approximately £5 to £8 per treatment.

The TCA peel is a medium depth peel and ideal for skin types 1 to 3. This peel is slightly more aggressive then the AHA peels and provides excellent treatment results when used by a skilled clinician. The Easy TCA peel is the product also covered the chemical peel course. The Easy TCA can be purchased as a 4 peel treatment system or a 16 peel system. The price for 16 Peels system is around £200 and each peel session (16 x peels) is priced between £100 and £150. Providing medical grade skin care and peels equip your clinic with a comprehensive solution for one of the biggest markets in aesthetics.

Both of the peel systems have a comprehensive range of skin care products which will provide increased revenue for any clinic.To learn both skin peel systems in the 1 course contact KT Training [email protected]

How do Chemical Peels, Dermaroller and Skin Care Contribute to Facial Aesthetics?

Understanding Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

The skin

Basal/Keratin cells are created by stem cells at the dermal epidermal junction.

The process of the basal cells moving upwards is call keratinization.

Of the basal layer, 10% of cells are stem cells, 50% are amplifying cells, and 40% are postmitotic cells. The postmitotic cells continuously move upwards through the epidermal layers until they reach the stratum cornium where the cells contain no nucleus and will exfoliate as new postmitotic cells reach the stratum cornium. With ageing this process is compromised with lesser migration of postmitotic cells resulting in a buildup of dead cells in the stratum cornium. A thick stratum cornium will make the skin greasy, dull, lifeless, and lacklustre.

Improving the skin.
How do chemical peels, microdermabrasion, derma roller and skin care contribute towards skin health and skin attractiveness.

The answer is normally stem cells are slowly dividing cells and with age these cells divide even slower but under certain conditions such as wound healing they divide faster. Chemical peels, mesotherapy and dermaroller treatments injure the skin. Therefore these procedures contribute to increased cellular activity at the basal layer which leads to increased cellular turnover resulting in a uniform stratum cornium, thicker epidermis, and increased fibroblast activity at the basal layer. Chemical peels especially TCA peels can dramatically improve damaged skin due to lifestyle issue. The intensive exfoliation of the epidermal layers will improve the elasiticity, texture, and clearness of the skin.

Dermaroller Micro Needling

Dermaroller treatments simply injure the skin resulting in massive cellular activity which dramatically resolves numerous skin problems like scar marks, sun damaged skin, fine lines and more.

Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy has a dual action since the needle punctures injure the skin and at the same time the clinician is injecting nutrients and hyaluronic acid into the mesoderm. The results are amazing.

Skin Care Courses and Packages

The correct skin care package can do wonders for young and mature clients. A good skin care package designed by a specialist will always include glycolic to enhance cellular function combined with anti-oxidants for protection and nutrition for skin repair. A bespoke skin management package used daily will protect and improve the skin continuously.

Given a choice, most clients would prefer to engage in a program that preserves their natural beauty rather than wait for folds and lines to appear.

Chemical Peels and Skin Care Courses

This course is a 1 day training course with pre-course study material. The skin care element of the course covers medical grade skin care products.

The Benefits of Chemical Peels, Dermaroller and Mesotherapy

Improving the Skin-Facial Rejuvenation with Skin Peels, Dermaroller and Mesotherapy.

Understanding the skin and the benefits of adding these cosmetic skin care treatments to your clinic.

Of the basal layer, 10% of cells are stem cells, 50% are amplifying cells, and 40% are postmitotic cells. The postmitotic cells continuously move upwards through the epidermal layers until they reach the stratum cornium where the cells contain no nucleus and will exfoliate as new postmitotic cells reach the stratum cornium. With ageing this process is compromised with lesser migration of postmitotic cells resulting in a buildup of dead cells in the stratum cornium. A thick stratum cornium will make the skin greasy, dull, lifeless, and lacklustre. When the skin is compromised, the effects of Botox or Botox and Dermal Fillers is less dramatic since the canvas of the face is flawed. Therefore skin health should be a part of the repertoire of all medical aesthetic practitioners.

The results are amazing since an ageing skin needs Hyaluronic Acid in the dermis to maintain its suppleness and hydration.

 

Identifying the best skin care treatments for your patient.

The correct skin care package can do wonders for young and mature clients. A good skin care course/package designed by a specialist will always include glycolics to enhance cellular function combined with anti-oxidants for protection and nutrition for skin repair. A bespoke skin management package used daily will protect and improve the skin continuously.

Given a choice, most clients will prefer to engage in a program that preserves their natural beauty rather than wait for folds and lines to appear creating the need for high priced quick fix procedures which does not deliver optimum solutions since these treatments will provide improvements but not to the extent if combined with a skin health program. The objective of this industry is to improve the appearance of the individual and chemical peels, derma oller and mesotherapy are less expensive, improve the entire face, improves hands and neck areas, and the treatments make patients happy due to the cost and outstanding results. There is never a complaint.

The Skin Care and Chemical Peels courses are held in London and the Southwest.The 1 day course covers a range of chemical peel systems.

What is the definition of facial beauty?

Posted on by

The components that make this face beautiful are multifaceted and below is a list of the features of a beautiful face.

Components of Perfect Facial Aesthetics

The skin is flawless, even textured, full with proper volume, hydrated and tolerant

The cheekbones are high and symmetrical with no skin laxity

The jawline is chiselled with no jowls

Mouth to nose proportions are balanced

The distance from the cupid bow to the tip of the nose is short creating a sexy outcome.

Neck is smooth and with little sun damage

Pupils of the eyes are clear and healthy

The face above will age however the rate at which the face and body ages can be slowed down dramatically if non-surgical professionals embraced prevention rather than quick fix procedures only. The concept of prevention is an intangible concept. There are no before and after results. Prevention philosophy focuses on maintaining the health of the skin and body to sustain beauty. Therefore you are not correcting problems but providing a service that helps the client to improve and sustain their present state for as long as possible.

Skin Health

Therefore if the health of the skin is preserved in its inactive stage, the skin will remain flawless, even textured, hydrated and tolerant. Facial balance and proportions will remain intact for a longer period than those who neglect their health and skin. If non-surgical clinicians advised their clients on managing his/her skin health the client will benefit since good skin, bone density and facial muscularity will keep the face lifted and youthful.

The procedures that contribute towards skin health are chemical peels, derma roller, cosmeceutical skin care and mesotherapy and these procedures are invaluable to the sustainability of any non- surgical clinic. My next blog will discuss how these procedures differ from Dermal Fillers and Muscle Relaxants and why they are the new key procedures to add to your procedure menu if you wish to keep your customers happy for life.
