Tightening of Skin Using NIR (Near Infrared Energy)

The Alma Rejuve NIR (Near Infrared) technology can immediately tighten the skin with noticeable results that last for up to 2 years! After just 24 hours, users will also notice an improvement in skin texture as it continues to smooth out and plump up with a radiant glow. Over the next 2 to 3 months, you can enjoy gradual improvements in texture, firmness, and evenness.

The high-powered light in the near-infrared spectrum reaches past the skin’s top layer to gradually heat the sub-dermal tissue. This light is barely visible to the naked eye and falls in the spectrum of 700nm to 2500nm. NIR therapy is powered by LED which has a gentler delivery than laser and will not damage the tissue.

This targeted light energy is applied with a precise hand-piece and it causes fibers to contract and tighten. The tissue is heated, but not destroyed, so it kick-starts cellular repair and collagen production. Unlike other treatments, the top layer of skin is completely unaffected.

How does this NIR treatment work?

The unique light technology can be adjusted to match your unique needs. The NIR technology delivers targeted skin tightening and firming results for the chin, forehead, neck, and crow’s feet wrinkles. Extensive collagen production under the surface plumps fine lines and wrinkles naturally.

You can also utilize near infrared energy across your entire body to diminish the look of cellulite and sagging skin. Firming upper thighs, smoothing out skin, and tightening the skin on your abdomen has never been as easy. Sagging, dull, and uneven skin can be addressed across small target zones or large areas of the body.

Simple Rituals To Setup Success In Your Beauty Clinic

Some times we look at really successful beauty businesses and clinics and think how did they reach that level of success? After working with many of these businesses for more than 10 years we have put together rituals and habits they use every day as a pathway to success. Have a read and let us know your thoughts!

Have One Idea Everyday That Can Improve Your Beauty Clinic

Every day add one idea that can improve your beauty clinic and implement this straight away. The idea does not have to be big because in a year 365 small steps in the right direction will add up to huge improvements. Never get comfortable in your business because this means complacency. But remember, you have to stick with a change to see the benefits.

Plan Tomorrow Before Going To Bed Tonight

Take the time at the end of each work day to assimilate everything that happened that day and make sure to wrap up loose ends and have a clear plan for your next day. Once you have created your plan focus on executing the priorities first.

Use Quality Tools In Your Clinic

Use tools and strategies that bring you results. You need to have a few great tools in your clinic in order to get the job done more efficiently from customer service through to payment (BeautyPay Platform), marketing and sales (Spectrum Success Academy). Spectrum has created the Spectrum Success Academy for our equipment customers to ensure they have the tools and strategies to grow their businesses. Contact Spectrum for further info on the Spectrum Success Academy.

Focus Your Energy On A Few Key Things

Don’t spread yourself too thin. When you are not performing treatments use your time on the key tasks that produce the best results for your business. Focus your energy on what matters more than anything else (promotion, marketing, staff sales training, treatment packaging and customer service). Also make sure to have balance, with time spent with family, very close friends, and keeping yourself healthy.

Practice Your Craft As Much As You Can

There is a saying that dreams do not work unless you do. Consistently learn and practice your craft. Believe in your vision. Work towards your vision so that it has no choice but to materialise. You need to have the right mind set, skill set and heart! Focus on further developing your technical expertise as well as business acumen. Innovation comes from making connections other people don’t see.

Follow Through With Promises

Always stick to your word if you promised something to yourself, your team or your customers. Be consistent with what you say and what you do. Feel comfortable saying no when you have to because no one can do everything that is asked of them (you don’t have enough time, hands or energy to do everything).

Study The Habits Of Other highly Successful Clinic Owners

Study and learn from those who have run successful clinics. Reach out to mentors who have the skills, experience and expertise that will help you with your business. You will be surprised how responsive people will be when they see someone working hard to make their dreams a reality. The Spectrum Success Academy is about learning from those who have walked the path before you and created strategies and using tools that work. Contact Spectrum for further info on the Spectrum Success Academy.

If you’re serious about growing your beauty clinic with technology we can give you the equipment (Click Here) and tools to dominate your market and fight off this new breed of clinics that are taking market share, revenues and profits.

5 Tips Every Beauty Clinic Should Follow To Get Ready For Christmas

Have you heard the phrase that the early bird catches the worm? Christmas is fast approaching and there is one thing you should start getting ready for the silly season and that is your business.

Start thinking about your strategies for the holiday season so that you can put these into action. Here is 5 tips to get your business ready for Christmas:

Tip 1: Start now and get ahead of your competitors
Don’t wait to do your ads, emails, offers and any other content that you want to release because if you wait it may get lost in all of the other holiday noise.

Tip 2: Test out new offers or packages
The festive season puts people in a giving mood. Create new promotions and packages to offer your customers to boost your business and sales. Spread some Christmas cheer, which could involve holiday season packages, a free gift with purchases, discounts or prizes.

Tip 3: Partner with complementary local businesses
You can generate business by partnering with other businesses in your area that serve your customers in a non-competitive way. A simple way to facilitate this is with a referral partnership, promotional offers or a local competition that you run together.

Tip 4: Use your website and social media channels for your promotions
Make sure you tell your customers a consistent story by aligning everything you do. With your promotions think about which channels can help you from blogs, website, facebook posts, instagram posts, emails, text messages and any other marketing activity that could help.

Tip 5: Communicate holiday hours to all of your customers
If you are closing up a little early, extending operating hours, or working different hours to get through the holiday rush, communicate these hours through your different channels (website, social media, email, text) so you don’t lose out on any opportunities.

Ready to give our tips a go? We would love to hear any success stories that you have had with your holiday activities!

Here’s to your success!

Treating Vascular Lesions – In Demand Treatment and Technology

Treatment of vascular lesions is a very in demand treatment at present with technology coming a long way over the years from lasers machines to IPL Machines. We take a look at the latest technology in the market called Dye-VL (Dye pulsed light technology for vascular lesions).

Dye-VL is a technology that industry leaders have proclaimed as the technology of choice when treating vascular lesions. Dye-VL technology, which is exclusive to Alma Lasers (including the Alma Rejuve IPL in Australia) offers providers a way of utilizing the technology with the safety, reliability and affordability of pulsed light. A major reason Dye-VL is able to produce results is because it also combines another technology called AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) which converts unused light into the usable Spectrum resulting in a increase emission and penetration into the treatment area and allowing for lower fluence to be used to achieve the desired outcome. Because lower energy is required to achieve results, the chances of unwanted side effects are minimized. This gives providers and patients an unparalleled level of safety (the combined innovations help providers achieve superior results with minimal risk to surrounding tissue which is important for these particular treatments).

The technology uses a narrowband 500-600nm wavelength. The narrowband gives providers the precision required to target only the melanin in the lesion or blood vessel (e.g., uses a narrow band filter to limit the wavelength range for optimal absorption by the melanin, hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin. The selective destruction (photothermolysis) of these chromophores removes the appearance of vascular lesions).

Treatment uses for Dye-VL include:

  • Vascular lesions
  • Port wine stains
  • Hemangioma
  • Rosacea
  • Venous malformation

In addition to Dye-VL technology the Alma Rejuve provides a wide range of treatments for the face and body including hair removal, pigmentation, vascular and tightening/contouring for body and face. Treatments are suitable for all skin types (I-VI) and are completely safe for thin and delicate areas, including the neck and décolleté, as well as hands, arms and stretch marks. Results include an improvement in the appearance of vascular and pigmented lesions, pore size reduction, and improved tone and texture for smooth, silky and shiny skin.

Upgraded Formulation of Meder Beauty Science Arma-Lift Mask

Latest research on skin ageing is opening new possibilities for affecting the deeper layers of the skin. As science reveals particular biochemical mechanisms, gradually changing with time, we upgrade the formulation of Meder Beauty Science anti-ageing and firming Arma-Lift mask making it an even more powerful tool for conquering age-related skin changes.

The key active ingredient remains unchanged: Epidermal Growth Factor is a signalling peptide able to re-establish and enhance the skin’s regeneration, increase the synthesis of all primary structural elements and improve cellular communication in the skin. Ageing is believed by many to lead to the accumulation of damage from stress, pollution, UV exposure and other factors, and almost always pigmentation disturbances begin to develop with age.

With that in mind, we include alpha arbutin, a very powerful and at the same time safe brightening ingredient. Hyaluronic acid of various molecular weights moisturises, soothes and stimulates the skin, making the overall effect of Arma-Lift mask a perfect combination of moisturising and lifting.

What’s New
The new version of Arma-Lift mask affects facial muscles as well as the skin thanks to a new ingredient in the formulation, arginine. As many would already know, arginine is an amino acid which oxygenises the muscles and restores their tone and elasticity. Facial muscles lose muscle tone with age, but the use of arginine helps make them stronger and thicker, restoring the facial
contour and shape.

It is now known, that the key factor in age-related skin dryness is the change in the expression of certain genes in the skin cells. As it turns out, this process can be affected by a small doze of urea, also known as carbamide. Urea stimulates the syntheses of all primary proteins in the epidermis and of antimicrobial peptides in the keratinous layer, restoring the skin’s natural protection and making it smooth and moisturised.

Carrageenan, extracted from an alga called Chondrus Crispus, is combined with natural Japanese polysaccharide Pullulan to create a delicate hydrating film layer on the skin surface. This film retains moisture on the skin surface, while also restoring the skin’s natural microbiome. An added moisturising action is provided by Allantoin which, at the same time, enhances the restoration and regeneration of the skin soothing it, reducing redness and sensitivity, smoothing out the skin’s surface and reducing the damage caused by UV exposure.

The upgraded Arma-Lift mask provides an instant lifting and refreshing effect combined with deep hydration of the skin and therapeutic rejuvenating effect.

We have also made an important choice to remove fragrance from the mask’s active gel in order to further minimise the risk of allergic reaction. Fragrance-free masks can be used after all kinds of medical procedures without any discomfort for the patients.

Who should use Arma-Lift mask?
Arma-Lift mask will be beneficial for the people who prefer a younger look and do not want to tolerate age-related skin changes. There is no need, however, to start using Arma-Lift mask before the actual changes start appearing. We recommend Arma-Lift mask to the customers who are older than 40–45 and are concerned with objective signs of skin ageing.

However, there are no age restrictions when Arma-Lift mask is used for the skin restoration after chemical peel, laser resurfacing and other aesthetic treatments. In these cases, we recommend using Arma-Lift mask 1–2 times a week for several weeks after the abovementioned treatments to accelerate the skin’s renewal and to prevent possible complications and side effects.

Instructions for use
After cleansing the skin, take the mask out of the sachet, unfold and carefully place on the face securing it in place. Leave the mask on for 20–25 minutes, then remove it and gently rub the remaining active gel into the skin. For best results use Meder Beauty Science cleansers and serums, add Arma-Lift concentrate during the active course.

Accelerated Treatment Outcomes using Combined Therapy Treatment – Skincare and Technology

There is great synergy between equipment and skincare. First, results will be achieved much quicker and in a more comfortable way. The risk of complications and side effects is reduced to a minimum. Combining equipment with skincare using a tested protocol allows us to affect both the deeper skin layers, and the skin’s surface. And it increases the patient’s satisfaction and results. The patient really feels like they have been given all possible attention and care. Spectrum Science & Beauty has worked with leading European Dr Tiina Meder to create specific protocol for combined therapy treatments using equipment and skincare to enhance results.
We have created a FREE eBook protocol guide where we focus on the following treatments:

• IPL plus skincare treatment
• LED light therapy plus skincare
• Microdermabrasion plus skincare
• Hydrodermabrasion plus skincare
• Fractional RF plus skincare
• PixelPen plus skincare

Click to download our FREE eBook: https://spectrumsciencebeauty.lpages.co/free-ebook-combined-therapy-treatments/
An example is that IPL treatment is recommended as one of the instruments of combined therapy for another of treatments from acne through to photo-rejuvenation, pigmentation, and vascular. For skin rejuvenation IPL is recommended to be combined with Hydra-Fill and/or Arma-Lift skin treatments with the key goals skin brightening, anti-ageing and correction of the existing signs of ageing. If the skin is dry, dehydrated and/or shows pigmentation, we provide protocol using Hydra-Fill skincare. To fight the loss of elasticity and to reduce wrinkles, we provide a protocol using Arma-Lift. We recommend combining IPL and skincare in cases of moderate and severe acne, and as a primary therapeutic solution for mild acne. When capillary changes are present, IPL can be used as a part of combined therapy along with skincare.

Combined therapy treatment with technology/equipment and skincare can provide clinics with a competitive advantage over their competition through improved results and client comfort.

New Method for Treating Acne (Eu-Seb)

Acne skincare. Traditionally acne has been treated by trying to eliminate harmful bacteria from the skin, usually by traumatic means, like acids. While being effective in many cases, it can damage the skin’s flora, regardless to whether its harmful or beneficial, which in turn can make the skin dry/susceptible to UV damage/sensitive and in many cases the problem still persists.

Meder Beauty Eu-Seb treatment was based on research that states that the human microbiome, all the bacteria living on our skin, is not only as individual as a fingerprint, but also essential for our health. It is the imbalance of the bacterial species that needs to be corrected rather than just trying to burn all the microorganisms from the skin surface. So, what (Eu-Seb) prebiotic does, is essentially restore the healthier balance and let the bacteria deal with each other in a more natural way. Other ingredients, like aloe extract, chamomile etc., calm the irritation and relieve the unpleasant symptoms, like redness, inflammation and discomfort. What it means for the patient, is that there are no unpleasant sensations (burning, itching, further redness, peeling, etc.) and after a treatment the skin looks calmer and more matte right away. Since the skin’s surface is not damaged, there is no risk of increased exposure to UV, which in Australia is a key factor. And it can take the problem away without traumatising the skin. 

Eu-Seb has been found to be safer, completely painless and comfortable for the patient, more natural and backed by the latest research (microbiome is a hot topic right now in health and beauty).
