New Product Range: EYN – Everything You Need

We are excited to announce that we have launched a brand new skincare line exclusive to Cosmetic Courses available for our models to purchase and delegates to stock within their own clinics!

At Cosmetic Courses we have always been passionate about skincare we believe that a good skincare routine combined with aesthetic “tweakments” can change your life, we have also proven that incorporating results driven products into your routine after aesthetic procedures can help elongate results.

 The EYN Range

EYN skincare has been specifically developed to maintain good skin health on a daily basis. The EYN range targets each layer of the skin to thoroughly hydrate and repair, targeting ageing. Providing affordable clinically proven products that work together to achieve brighter and healthier skin.

As we age we lose moisture and elasticity in our skin which causes wrinkles and other signs of ageing to appear. EYN skincare range re-hydrates skin with a series of clinically proven ingredients. It includes lightweight non-oily hydrators and skin revitalising serums to stimulate collagen and elastin, whilst helping skin to repair and renew more rapidly.

The range has been developed with your daily skin health needs in mind and will help refine prose and minimise fine lines and wrinkles as well as address any pigmentation issues.

The Products:

EYN-Product Range

H2∞: Endurance Moisturiser

This luxury silky moisturiser contains clinically proven ingredients to keep your skin optimally hydrated and in peak condition. H2∞ contains tripeptide-1 and tetrapeptide 7, biomimetic peptides to help stimulate growth factors and collagen synthesis, to protect and help restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier and suppress inflammation. Natural tara seed extract works deep within the skin to boost moisture levels and help prevent future dehydration. It’s also high in vitamin C and B. Apply to clean skin on face and neck as required.

Reveal: Glycolic Wash

Contains the natural clinically proven AHAs, glycolic and citric acid to gently remove the build-up of dead skin cells together with salicylic acid to remove impurities and excess oil. This combination will cleanse the skin and increase cell turnover revealing new younger looking cells while preparing the skin for the further application of recommended daily care. Massage one pump onto dry skin. Leave on the skin for a few minutes to get to work before rinsing with warm water and patting dry. Do not use as an eye make-up remover. Can be used once or twice daily.

Protect SPF 50: Daily Tinted Broad Spectrum Sun Protection

A highly effective photo-stable broad spectrum, lightweight physical sunscreen, containing a combination of clinically proven filters to protect the skin against the harmful effects of UV rays. It is water resistant and contains clinically proven AHAs, citric and lactic acid to gently increase cell turnover. It is light and easily absorbed with a natural tint to give an even appearance while having a hydrating effect on the skin and protecting the DNA.

R+: 1% Liposomal Retinol Serum

A powerful and highly effective serum containing one per cent liposomal retinol, a stabilised vitamin A derivative which has been clinically proven to increase cell turnover. R+ will reduce pore size, resulting in firmer younger looking skin as well as reduce visible signs of ageing including pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Apply to clean skin at night. Use as directed. It is also important to use SPF 50 sunscreen, as retinol increases the skin’s sensitivity to sun exposure. For external use only.

c20: Maximum Strength Vitamin C Serum 

Clinically proven L-ascorbic acid at its peak concentration of anti-oxide the activity which is quickly absorbed to remove free radicals preventing skin damage, helping to brighten skin & maintain a youthful appearance.

Hamilton Fraser Annual Survey Results

“Aesthetic practitioners happy but need more business support”

Hamilton Fraser Cosmetic Insurance recently carried out an anonymous online survey of more than 300 Cosmetic and Aesthetic Practitioners (CAPs) across the UK. Here are the results:

Demographics

Practitioners are distributed evenly throughout the UK and Ireland, although there is a notably slightly higher percentage (14%) that operate in the North-West, with Cheshire and Liverpool leading the way with requests for cheek and lip plumping and filler.

Most CAPs come into the industry in their 30s and 40s seeking a new challenge, and three-quarters say they are happy, with aesthetics medicine meeting their expectations as a job. Most CAPs (78%) are part time, and 71% work alone, which correlates with the majority practising in their own home clinics or offering mobile services. One in seven practitioners is male.

More than two thirds of those surveyed had been practising for less than four years, and nearly 40% less than a year, which suggests that as a job or career there are relatively few barriers to entry.

Treatments and Complications

The results showed that three-quarters of patients seek treatment due to their concerns over the signs of ageing, with 82% of CAPs providing dermal fillers and 81% carrying out procedures using Botulinum Toxin.

Fewer than a fifth of CAPs had experienced complications when carrying out a procedure in the last five years, the vast majority of which were minor (expected and self-limiting) or moderate (where the patient was distressed but the issue was resolved). Most of these complications were to do with prolonged swelling and, as with most concerns reassurance of the patient was the best way to manage the issue.

Where others were needed to manage the complication, most CAPs sought guidance from aesthetic doctors or nurse colleagues. Where complications were reported (in less than half of all cases), most CAPs contacted the product manufacturer about the issue, finding them supportive in 90% of cases. When insurers were contacted a slightly lower 81% of CAPs were happy with the support they received.

Whilst 92% of CAPs have medical malpractice insurance in place – with most paying between £500-£700 per year – it means that some 8% of practitioners have no malpractice insurance at all, which is a concern.

Training and Continual Professional Development

Training and Continual Professional Development (CPD) remains an issue for CAPs. Four out of five have been to at least one training event in the last two years, with over half undertaking more than three days’ CPD in the last year alone, yet there is still a great need for both training and support.

The survey showed that some 70% of respondents said they would like more support when setting up their business whilst 88% said they would attend local evening events to learn more about running a successful practitioner business, and most were interested in learning about Training, CPD and business planning

Surprisingly 58% of respondents aren’t members of any relevant professional bodies or associations at all.

For those wanting to learn more about developing a CAP business and finding out where training can be accessed, the second annual Aesthetics Business Conference will be held on 26th September, 2019, at the Royal College of Physicians. The conference offers a full day of educational sessions from leading industry experts in a variety of fields and provides attendees with eight hours’ worth of accredited CPD points. https://www.aestheticsbusinessconference.co.uk/

After a busy couple of months Dr Olha Voroduykhina (Midlands Clinical Lead) and her team were ecstatic to finally be able to show off all their hard work.
