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.

Forty-percent of you said retail business was up this

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.

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

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

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

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
21
Professional Beauty August 2015
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.

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

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

44 treatment review - body shaping
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

47 treatment review - body shaping
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

48 treatment review - body shaping
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

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.

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
with summer waiting in the wings, it’s time for salons and spas to start recommending sun protection products for their clients, writes Joanna Sterkowicz.
due to the release of heat in the skin,”
says Donker.
Anyone over the age of six months
should use sunscreen daily, according
to the experts at Juliette Armand.
“Even those who work inside are
still exposed to UV light daily,” they
say. “UVB rays are the burning rays
and may cause many other skin
conditions. Another type of radiation
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.

range of exquisite shades of some of
the hottest colours, ranging from not

neons), to the most sizzling colours
that are almost too hot to handle, such
as hot juicy mandarin, rich romantic
reds and fabulous fiery fuschias.
There is also something a little more
spectacular for those hot summer
nights, in beautiful and rich shimmering
gold and silver textured shades, as
well as brighter shades of navy blue,
mermaid green and sparkling red
hot pink. Sheer decorative top coats
in soft pearlescent linens and the
finest particles of diamond dust, to
iridescent scalloped glitters, add a
touch glamour to any nails. Black and
white remain popular colours and also
feature hugely every season in gloss,
but this season in a more matte option.
Innovative ideas and interpretations
have been encountered on the
catwalks of renowned fashion houses.
For instance, the nail trends at the
Honor Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear
Fashion Show focused not only on
colour, but also on the techniques
used to apply the colours.
Nail shapes also play a big part in
the Spring/Summer season and range
from simple to more diverse. Even
nail art is ultra creative, exceptionally
unique and adorned with way out
embellishments.

62 nails
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.

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

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

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

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.
Super Moisturiser+ is suitablefor all skin types, especially dryand sensitive skin that reactsto environmental extremes.It is also ideal for those whoare exposed daily to dry air,or frequently travel by plane.
It can be used together withother Environ creams containing vitamin A or as an alternative moisturiser if experiencingdryness or transient sensitivityto the Environ vitamin A products.
