PBS Skin Summit Surpasses Expectations – 2024 Wrap Up

Six years into Skin Summit and it’s safe to say, it just keeps getting better. Hosted by Professional Beauty Solutions (PBS), the two-day event begun with the Education Day, delivering opportunity for insights, learning, and inspiration via four key sessions aimed at amplifying your business.

Matt and Lisa Williams, owner/operators of PBS, plus the General Manager, Business Development Managers and Marketing team members guided guests on topics such as developing a USP, evolving your mission and values, understanding your numbers to increase profitability, managing your team and finally how to market all of these elements – communicating this to your clients so you and your business continues to thrive.

A big shout out also goes to IMAGE Skincare’s General Manager of International Markets, Denise Dente, who flew in from the USA and informed us on trends and ingredients globally. Major Event Sponsors, Square, presented on their easy (not to mention chic) payment hardware and Vanessa McDonald from Salon Marketing Solutions presented on Skin Journey Marketing.

Guests walked out with the tools (and inspiration) to take their business to the next level, as well as a goodie bag worth over $500 in New Directions Packaging, who sponsored PBS via the incredible event gift bags and boxes.

Sunday’s Aesthetic Device Showcase brought the best in devices, technology, training and education, to all attendees, as well as two new launches, the bt-sculp PRO for the Bio-Therapeutic bt-nano and Bio-Ultimate Platinum platforms, as well as the newest skin needling device, 1Need pro, so watch this space!

Guests were encouraged to explore the latest in technology, view live demonstrations and discover why Radio Frequency, Body Contouring, Laser, IPL, Microcurrent, LED and Skin Needling are some of the most in-demand aesthetic treatments and how they can revolutionise your business.

Last, but not least, culminating what we hope was an enriching weekend of growth and connection, was PBS’s 6th Gala Dinner. Not only boasting delicious food and beverages within the beautiful Ivy Ballroom, but treating guests to the opportunity to celebrate the industry and each other thanks to the 7th annual Salon of The Year Awards.

Complete with the Roaming Disco Ball Girls, dancers, DJ Lavida bringing the good vibes (right down to the very last song - IYKYK), we also had Lucky Door Prizes from Square, plus, Gold Sponsors, Phorest Salon Software and Salon Marketing Solutions. It certainly was a night to remember. And now on to the winners list, topped by the coveted PBS Salon of the Year, Temple Skincare & Spa who took home not one, but four awards!

“This year we managed to bag Salon of the Year, Pollogen Stockist of the Year, IMAGE Skincare Stockist of the Year and Therapist of the Year,” said the incredible owner, Rene. “Thank you so, so much PBS for this honour and for an evening we will never forget. To all the nominees, you make us so humbled to be among so many industry leaders and amazing talents like you. You are the most inspiring people we know.”

Revolutionise Your Business & Enhance Client Outcomes Through Cutting-Edge Microneedling Technology

The Mesopen Pro offers two tips so you can perform skin needling or electroporation, or for the most advanced results, both at the same time.

  • Skin Needling

    A minimally invasive treatment (also known as CIT - Collagen Induction Therapy) that uses super fine needles to penetrate the skin and cause controlled microwounds, stimulating the body's healing response. An increase in the production of skin-plumping collagen and elastin results, plus tighter, smoother, refreshed skin.

  • Electroporation

    A non-invasive treatment that offers a needle-free way to treat skin concerns beneath the surface. Intermittent current opens up the cell pathways increasing penetration of concentrated products and ingredients. Perfect for sensitive skin, and those with active acne or advanced rosacea.

  • Simultaneous Skin Needling & Electroporation

    Combines both microneedling and electroporation enabling your therapist to amplify results with less trauma to the skin. This accelerates results while reducing recovery time and the number of treatments required.

The Mesopen Pro boasts adjustable needle lengths enabling your therpist to customise your treatment depending on skin concern, skin type and the area of your face or body being treated.

My first highlight was not needing numbing cream. | have had other skin needling treatments, and this is, by far, the most enjoyable. Usually, | would have 3-4 days of uncomfortable, red and sometimes itchy skin. But | had ZERO downtime and hydrated, plump, glowing skin from the next day. | look forward to the ongoing results.” — BEC

Your Mesopen Pro Questions Answered

What Is Skin Needling?
Minimally invasive microneedles that stimulate new collagen and elastin production for plumper, firmer, refreshed and younger-looking skin.

Will It hurt?
Unlike competitors, the Mesopen Pro requires NO NUMBING CREAM, reducing your treatment time and proving how comfortable the treatment is.\

What Is The Downtime?
Expect redness post-treatment to last from 1-24 hours. It's not recommended to wear makeup before the 24-hour mark.

How Long Does It Take To See Results?
Expect to notice an immediate glow, with results to develop over the coming days and months thanks to the collagen production and further treatments.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?
For optimum results, receive 4-6 treatments about two weeks apart.
