There is much research supporting the use of light as a source of therapy for various skin conditions. But, it can even be beneficial on a cellular level!

Most skin care professionals would agree that having the right equipment is essential to getting superior results from facial treatments. On that note, they should also think about introducing equipment that helps create an opportunity to offer wellness-related services. Consider this information – according to the Global Wellness Institute's Global Wellness Economy Monitor, the wellness industry was worth $3.72 trillion in 2015.

Many aestheticians recall a time when the options available for improving the appearance of their client’s skin were relatively few as compared to the wide variety of effective products and technologies that exist today. As is the case with most industries, technological advancements have created a wide array of new possibilities. Of course, options vary from state to state depending upon regulations regarding scope of service. Familiarity with these regulations could save you considerable time and expense.

Problem and solution – if only it were this simple. As skin care professionals, most of the concerns our clients come to us with are multi-dimensional in terms of their origin, and consequently their treatment. As with most things in life, it is almost always necessary to look beneath the surface to determine the underlying cause of a problem.
Although this may seem like a more circuitous approach than treating only what is seen, our investigations can be simplified by the acknowledgement of a resounding theme. Without question, inflammation is a common thread in the contributing factors to many skin conditions. Acne, rosacea, dermatitis; even the signs of aging all have something in common: inflammation.

Although most of us are drawn to this industry by our enthusiastic passion for skin care, in order to succeed, it becomes necessary for us to focus on the business aspect of our passion and to ask ourselves if we are doing all that we can to attract and retain clients. In addition to having access to professional product lines and providing services in an appropriate atmosphere, we offer the "three E's": education, experience, and expertise. Our clients expect us to use these skills to analyze, treat, and make recommendations specific to their personal needs and expectations.
