New Products

Elemis

Elemis has expanded the Dynamic Resurfacing line with Facial Pads, single-use pads soaked in a solution that combines lactic acid with the brand’s tri-enzyme technology and a probiotic ferment complex. Designed to gently resurface the skin and work on smoothness and luminosity, the pads help break up peptide bonds and stimulate the skin’s self-renewal process while keeping it hydrated.

Heaven

New from Heaven Skincare is the V5 multifunctional laser platform. For permanent hair removal, the laser uses a high repetition rate of single pulses to deliver heat deep into the dermis, while for skin rejuvenation, the 1320nm shockwave stimulates the proliferation of collagen and helps rearrange elastin fibres to smooth out deep wrinkles. The platform is also designed for tattoo removal and combines 1064nm and 532nm shockwaves to shatter pigment particles.
