Diagonal Report predicted that technological advances would dominate the cosmetics industry during the following decade. Technology-based beauty treatments like laser and IPL have been added to spa services in response to client discontent with conventional spa and skincare items. Laser hair removal, IPL photofacial skin rejuvenation, radiofrequency skin tightening, and countless more fall under this category.
Businesses in the skincare sector are feeling the effects of this shift, as reported by Diagonal Report, which cites research showing that “even the most conservative of cosmetic beauty shoppers are more open than ever to new skincare technology.”
The public has embraced these high-tech beauty treatments because they feel they are more effective at removing dirt and oil from the skin than “conventional” cleansing methods. I have to agree with them. The number of undesirable hairs on a person’s body can be greatly reduced after just a few laser hair removal treatments. Unlike superficial facials or washes, IPL (intense pulsed light) photofacial technologies can employ light and energy to eliminate dark spots, sun damage, age spots, etc.
These are not only more effective but also typically more expensive. Waxing can cost anywhere from $15 to $50, while laser hair removal might cost $100 or more per session. This means that the return on investment for a skin care expert who offers these services is higher.
Those now working in the cosmetics and skincare industries, as well as newcomers to these fields can take heart from this development. When you have your laser certification, you can start offering your clients cutting-edge beauty services. Participants in cosmetic laser training programs learn about the technology’s safety, as well as treatment protocols, the Fitzpatrick color scale, and more.
