As 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.

business tips

This 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 24-

hour 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 user-

friendly 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

do YoU HAVe AnY QUeSTIonS To PUT To oUr eXPerTS?Send your question about absolutely anything to do with running a beauty business to [email protected]

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

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

Ask the experts

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 24-

hour 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

Twitter 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

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 tweetsIt’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

Let’s zone into Twitter

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

20 business tips

The 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

c o m p l i c a t e d .

Businesses had

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

business tips

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 40% 35% 30%

Commission 10% 7% 5%

Above target:

Commission hit –Retail to turnover

45% 50% 55%

Bonus R1000 R1500 R2000

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.

SplitTraditionally we have always split services and retail

commissions. The goalposts for each have been set at

different sides of the field and a therapist is either a high

retailer or ‘just good at treatments’. This has resulted

in very one-sided therapists who do not understand

their roles holistically. One team of therapists now The power of medical beauty.

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 systemA 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

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

R

The 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);

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.

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 menuHow 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

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 menuMen 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.

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.

Menu mistakesA 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

read it. Take caution and ensure your

font is clear and legible.

Keeping it freshUpdate 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

Situated 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.

A ‘graceful’ space

“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

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.”

The spa at Cape Grace in Cape Town recently enjoyed an exciting ‘refashioning’, writes Joanna Sterkowicz.

spa focus

HydrotherapyThe 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.

Passionate offeringLilley 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 first-

class 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.

39 free radicals

What 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 make-

over.

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,

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-radical-

neutralising.

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

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 shieldsIt’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.

danné Montague-King has won international recognition and endorsement by the medical profession for pioneering a skin rejuvenation system that recognises the importance of offering skin cells a chemistry they recognise. He is founder of the DMK skincare empire.

Free radicals are very tough, resistant rogue

molecules and as crazy as the Mad Hatter in Alice in

Wonderland

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 inter-

connected 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

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).

Now we have a way of producing

proanthocyanidines, also obtainable

from the seeds of grapes, peanuts,

cranberries and lemon tree bark, which

are designed by nature to boost the

power of pycnogenols to a 100% more

effective category.

Juliette Armand, Mio & Mama Mio Skincare


43 treatment review - body shaping

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 self-

heating 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

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 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

My 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

On 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

Belinda Wewege experiences the Cellu Therapy anti-cellulite treatment from Lilian Terry International (LTI), which utilises cupping techniques.

A ‘cup’ half-full

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, paste-

like 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

During 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

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.

Contouring Wrap has the distinction

of being registered as safe with the

ShotsNaomi Olivier of Hitech Lasers maintains that

anyone considering buying an IPL system should

be aware of the number of shots guaranteed on

a handpiece. “They should ask the salesperson

how many times they can press the trigger of the

handpiece before the guarantee expires, as there is

a huge difference between guaranteed pulses and

guaranteed shots in IPL systems.

“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

15mm2 and 15 x 8mm2) to treat small

and larger areas with equal comfort.

oPTThe 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.

Multiple-Sequential Pulsing allows

for cooling between pulses, to safely

remove hair on darker skin,” concludes

Olivier.

Maximising roIBTL 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

Sucanský: “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

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.

Sucanský 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 longer-

lasting 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

ACne PIMPLeSAcne 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 re-

occurring pimples because the actual

sebaceous gland that produces

the sebum, can be desiccated and

therefore ceased to overproduce

sebum in that duct again.

MILIAAlthough 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 pain-

free way to remove them is with the

L a m p r o b e .

The probe

is placed in

the centre

of the Milia,

the current

p e n e t r a t e s

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.

SYrInGoMASSyringomas 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

c o l o u r e d ,

y e l l o w i s h

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 hyper-

keratinised cells to leave the skin

smooth, without any hypo or hyper-

pigmentation or scarring.

SeBACeoUS HYPerPLASIAThe 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

Lamprobe solutionsfrom 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 LAMProBeThe 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.

CPUTCPUT 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 lectur-

ing at CPUT with my assistant lecturer

Carol Maccallum to such a competent,

passionate and knowledgeable group

of students. PB

There 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 medium-

depth 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

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

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 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.

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

nights, in beautiful and rich shimmering

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.

to medium lengths are trends that

on nails are making their presence

known and proving to be the most

popular look and trend for the 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

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.

Negative space trend is the latest

trend to hit the nail design scene and

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. Presenting

pink in solo and combined with other shades, in

monochrome and minimalistic interpretations, were Nicole

Miller and Jeremy Scott, with Moschino showing off a fantastic

Fuschia pink shade.

Red has proven to be a

timeless classic year after

year, with its umpteen colour

variations. 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. Red can also shift from

your typical classic pillar box

red to more intense variations

and shades. One could not get

classier than the nails shown

by Olympia Le Tan in a striking

cherry red tone on short nails.

®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.

Shimmering shades were the centre of attention

on the runways in a variety of glamorous options, like

the sensational shimmering tips by Marissa Webb and

nails by Ashish done with a combination of colorful

details on a silver background. Tadashi Shoji also

stood out with nails adorned in rich gold patterns.

Vivienne Westwood introduced a phenomenal array

of colourful textures and patterns with a shimmery

silver background, as did House of Holland, which

included brighter shimmery designs in purple with

a red texture.

Matt textures have gradually been making their

way as one of the more popular nail trends, with

quite interesting design ideas, such as the luxurious

matte brown nails by Giorgio Armani, and jet black

designs by Carmen Marc Valvo, with silver to set it

off.

Blue seems to be a key colour and quite versatile,

attracting designers to use it somewhat freely,

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.

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.

In 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.

“We 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

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.

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

The holistic approach

non-invasive routeWe 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 skinThe 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 muscleAs 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

treatment review – body contouring

71

On 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, dome-

like, portable device that incorporates

three powerful technologies –

integrated multi-polar radiofrequency

(RF), vacuum suction and light-

emitting 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.

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.

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 skin-

tightening,” 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 twice-

weekly 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

72 treatment review – body contouring

The 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, physician-

endorsed, 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.

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

treatment review – body contouring

When I arrived at

the Ageless Lasers

medical aesthetics

clinic in Hyde Park,

J o h a n n e s b u rg ,

Branislav Sucanský 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 Sucanský.

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. Sucanský 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 Sucanský 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’Sucanský 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

X-Wave, which has a jackhammer

action, felt similar to a deep tissue

massage.

Sucanský 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

An ‘elite’ treatmentLelanie 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.

78 saahsp

CPD 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.

The advantage of ongoing CPD participation

There are four categories of CPD

activities: Professional Development;

Personal Development; Education

and Training; and Reading and

Publishing.

Benefits of CPd for the practitionerThose who commit to the CPD

programme demonstrate:

•Commitmenttoalevelof

excellence;

•Passioninyouroccupation;

•Desiretoconstantlyimprove;

•Interestinthedevelopments

within the industry in terms of

products, services and business

management; and

•Yourcompetenceasatherapistin

running and/or contributing to the

running of a sustainable business.

Benefits of CPd to the memberThe 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 employerThey 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 industryThe 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 activitiesThe 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.

The new Environ Super Moisturiser+ is a luxurious moisturising cream scientifically formulated to be easily absorbed, and to enhance the retention of moisture naturally found in the skin, leaving it looking smoother and feeling refreshed and softer to the touch.

Super Moisturiser+ is a unique Environ “cocktail” of scientifically researched ingredients, such as Revidrate™, Pentavitin® andPro-Vitamin B5, which have been proven to enhance natural moisturising factors, as well as protect and retain skin moisture.

Apart from providing skin with intensive and lasting hydration, our unique “cocktail” also contains

effective antioxidants and vitamins C and E which shield and protect the skin from the damaging effects of the modern environment, thereby enhancing the skin’s brightness and radiance.
