Five treatments to freshen up your menu this Spring season

The Springtime welcomes and signals the perfect opportunity to breathe a little freshness into the skin and your facial treatments for the ultimate glow. While winter leaves the skin feeling a bit dull and a little parched, the new spring cycle can revive the complexion. You can achieve glowing skin for your clients by properly prepping the skin for the season change. There are so many ways to help your clients create radiance to face the days ahead confidently.

LED Light Therapy

With LED, you can treat client’s concerns and correct their complexion. LED therapy is a non-invasive way to boost skin health naturally, combat acne, calm redness, and boost collagen production, among other benefits. It is safe and painless, making it ideal for all skin conditions, and can even be used on chemotherapy patients. Red light can be used for soothing, calming down inflammation, or assisting collagen synthesis. Blue Light can be used to help target the sebaceous glands for breakout control. For best results, always offer your clients a series of treatments.

Sonophoresis & Iontophoresis

These technologies enhance the absorption of the appropriate serums and treatments. The sound waves flow through the skin during the treatment to create space between the skin cells to penetrate more of the product. Then the iontophoresis charges the product with energy where it can be absorbed by the cell itself. These product delivery tools are great alone, but this combined therapy quickly treats the skin with the vitamins and antioxidants necessary for healthy, glowing skin. Hydration, fine lines, redness, and pigmentation are all improved.

Antioxidants

An excellent pairing for creating the perfect glow and protective defense is incorporating antioxidants in the treatment with sonophoresis or iontophoresis for a supercharged delivery of ingredients. While antioxidants are helpful year-round, they are essential during the spring and summer, when stronger UV rays can damage unprotected skin. Not only can too much sun lead to direct DNA damage, but it can also break down collagen and elastin due to UV-induced free radicals. Free radicals, highly destructive molecules in the environment, can also wreak havoc on the skin. Apply an antioxidant serum, such as vitamin C, in the treatment to help strengthen the skin barrier to make it less susceptible to these environmental factors.

Microcurrent

Microcurrent therapy typically uses a revolving, low-level electrical current to stimulate ATP, collagen, elastin in the skin and the underlying muscles. This treatment targets the facial muscles, immediately giving the face and neck a more toned and tightened appearance.

It is important to note that microcurrent is so much more than just a facial workout. This is an excellent treatment for glowing into the Spring and Summertime for two other significant reasons: Increased circulation and detoxification. We can achieve increased blood flow with microcurrent, feeding the cells and tissue with oxygen and nourishment. On the back end of that, microcurrent and the muscles are milking lymphatic fluid to rid the cells of debris and toxins – creating an optimal cell matrix for proper and thriving cell functioning.

Combining all these benefits from a microcurrent treatment will depuff, lift, sculpt and create a more radiant complexion. Like most facial services, the immediate results are fantastic. Still, the microcurrent treatment works best as a series of several treatments are done close together because each treatment builds on the treatment before. After a series of services, dramatic improvements in the firmness of the face and neck are achieved.

Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a terrific technique to help your clients reset and freshen up for Spring. Typically used to improve skin appearance on the face, neck, or even the hands, a light peel can help rid your clients of excess cuticle build-up on the skin. A great option is a gentle lactic acid solution. The new, regenerated skin will be smoother and brighter.

This is the season to help your clients discover the radiance they may have lost during the chapped months of cold weather. With these tools in your arsenal, you will be able to deliver the ultimate glow for all your clients. Don’t be afraid to try combinations of these modalities for undeniable and addictive results.
