Make your salon’s reopening a success with these acne-fighting facials and a “social distancing” back massage

Lava Shells Social Distancing Back Massage

Shared Beauty Secrets, distributor of Lava Shells, has formulated a new treatment for salons and spas to offer to clients when they reopen following the coronavirus lockdown period. The Lava Shells Social Distancing Back Massage is a 25-minute treatment that uses sanitary and non-porous self-heating Lava Shells to relax the body and mind, along with aromatherapy blended Sensory Retreats Wellbeing Oils.

There is no face-to-face contact in treatment and loyal clients can bring in their own Lava Shells for use during the massage if they like. The heat and touch can be adapted according to the client’s needs and the company’s crystal sound healing, which promotes deep relaxation on a vibration level, is available as an add-on.

As part of the company’s new 20:20 Together Affiliation Programme, the treatment can be offered with a 20% off discount voucher.

Shared Beauty Secrets recommends charging from £35 for the 25-minute treatment.

Katherine Daniels Photo-Dynamic Therapy

Skincare brand Katherine Daniels’ new results-driven facial Photo-Dynamic Therapy combines high-density diode light waves with light activated concentrates to target four of the biggest skin concerns – ageing, sensitivity, pigmentation and acne.

Each version of the facial begins with a resurfacing peel to remove dead cells from the surface and aid the delivery of key ingredients into the skin.

Next, one of four light-activated, photo-dynamic concentrates are applied to tackle either lines and wrinkles; rosacea and sensitive skin; pigmentation and dark spots; or acne and breakouts.

High-intensity LED light is then used to activate the client’s chosen concentrates, with red, yellow, green and blue light options available. A treatment boost containing a concentration of active ingredients is then given to finish the treatment.

The treatment comes in three options – Advanced Treatment, Red Carpet Treatment and Blast Treatment.

Katherine Daniels recommends charging from £65 for the 60-minute treatment.

Hydrafacial New Boosters

Hydrafacial has launched four new boosters in its treatment range. The ReGen GF Booster was developed in-house and targets signs of ageing including loss of elasticity. The HydraFacial Rozatrol Booster hydrates, while Brightalive Booster tackles pigmentation, and both have been developed with ZO SkinHealth.

Meanwhile, NassifMD Hydraglucan Intense Hydration Booster claims to repair and rejuvenate skin and has been created in partnership with Nassif MD Dermaceuticals and Dr Paul Nassif.

The treatment begins with lymphatic drainage using low-pressure glass suction tubes in a directional method to massage and drain the lymph nodes.

Next, Vortex-Cleansing and HydraPeel Exfolitation is used to cleanse the skin, after which a non-irritating mix of salicylic and glycolic acids is applied to help loosen debris.

The fourth step uses Vortex-extraction technology to aid in the removal of blackheads and impurities, before Vortex Fusion is applied to deliver an antioxidant formula, infused with peptides and hyaluronic acid, into the skin.

Finally, red or blue LED light is applied to stimulate collagen production or reduce acne-causing bacteria.

Hydrafacial recommends charging from £130 for the 60-minute treatment. Call the brand on 01788 72007
