2022 PBS Aesthetic Device Showcase Wrap Up

Our first ever Device Showcase was hit with beauty industry professionals & salon owners!

As a distributor of 14 brands - with 5 being advanced technological skincare solution manufacturers - we were so excited to bring our partnered salons into one room for a day of live demonstrations - to showcase the revenue-generating, results-driven aesthetic technologies that we have on offer here at PBS. Each with the potential to transform any salon, spa or clinic business!

Last month in May, we hosted our inaugural Aesthetic Device Showcase across two major Australian capital cities, Sydney and Brisbane. The first of its kind, this event was designed to allow Salon, Spa & Clinic owners as well as their teams to discover the latest world-class technologies that are on offer with Professional Beauty Solutions (PBS).

First up was Sydney! On Monday the 23rd of June we welcomed attendees at the Pullman Hotel, Mascot – for a day of live treatment demonstrations where attendees experienced firsthand the impressive range of aesthetic devices that PBS offers, all while enjoying a glass of bubbly! Demonstrating technologies including radio frequency micro-needling, body contouring, laser, IPL, microcurrent, LED light therapy and more – attendees saw first-hand the impressive results that just one treatment can generate.

We did it all again a week later on Monday the 30th May for our Queensland partners at Gloss Skin & Beauty. Another huge thankyou to Alanna and the #GlossyGirls who generously hosted our Aesthetic Device Showcase at their gorgeous salon space in Wellington Point.

The live demonstration rundown…

Illumifacial with Lynton Laser’s 3JUVE IPL

  • Combining a fractional Ablative laser, a medical-grade IPL, and a multi-polar Radio Frequency handpiece – this device allows you to target all of the most common signs of aging – to deliver the most advanced skin rejuvenation results in the industry.

Buttock Lift with Pollogen’s Maximus

  • The most advanced body & facial contour device on the market, our Maximus amazes with circumference reduction, skin tightening, fat reduction, muscle toning & cellulite treatment – along with no downtime, no exercise required afterward, and no pain during the treatment!

Wey/Dry Microdermabrasion with Bio-Therapeutic’s Bio Hydroderm Trinity

  • What sets the Bio Hydroderm Trinity apart from other microdermabrasion treatments is its unique handpiece abrasion tip selections, allowing skin therapists to quickly perform as many as four passes, creating a unique and exact service to meet every client’s objective.

Oxygeneo 3-in-1 Super Facial with Pollogen’s Geneo

  • Featuring Pollogen patented technologies including Dynamic Muscle Activation (DMA, Tripollar RF, Tri-Fractional, Voluderm & Oxygeneo – the Geneo is the ultimate facial treatment platform, utilising the skin’s natural physiological processed to increase oxygen levels in the skin for exceptional results.

RF Skin Needling (Divine Pyramid Facelift) with Pollogen’s Divine Pro

  • An RF skin needling device, the Divine Pro boasts patented Voluderm technology and, unlike competitors, uses the thinnest, un-insulated medical-grade needles on the market (150nm) giving superior thermal injury and coagulation zones for peak collagen stimulation whilst 3rd generation RF Tripollar technology allows maximum energy density.

The aesthetic devices that we have on the market right now have the potential to completely revolutionise a business – so it was so exciting to be able to demonstrate to our salon partners first-hand the impressive technologies on offer and results that they can achieve.

PBS 2021 Virtual Salon of the Year Awards!

We are so thrilled to announce that this year, our annual Salon of the Year Awards are back! 

SOTY 2021 Web 03.png

Here at Professional Beauty Solutions, we love nothing more than recognising, celebrating, and acknowledging the success of our partnered salons, spas, and clinics. 

Last year, as Covid cases spiked and lockdowns became the new normal – we were devastated to have to cancel our annual Skin Summit event that plays host to our Annual Awards Night Gala Evenings. This year, nothing was more important to us than ensuring we could recognise our salon partners with an awards evening. 

With that in mind, we are so excited to host our first-ever Virtual Awards on Monday the 16th of August at 7:00pm via Zoom.

Uniting the industry and celebrating our incredible salon, spa and clinics – this year’s PBS Salon of the Year Virtual Awards will recognise the success of our salon partners over the past year.

All business owners, managers and teams are invited to the Virtual Awards Evening where PBS will celebrate the industry and our amazing stockists.

With the coveted “Salon of the Year” award up for grabs once again, a title awarded to the salon that has shown the strongest commitment to growing their business with PBS brands and that has demonstrated excellence in the services they offer, innovative business initiatives and inspiring salon success. We’ll also be awarding “Stockist of the Year” awards for the salons that have delivered unparalleled results with each of our individual brands, plus our “Hall of Fame” winner will be crowned, along with some brand-new award categories!

Image Skincare’s 2021 Worldwide Launch Party goes virtual!

WWLP Photo.jpg

This year the Image Skincare Worldwide Launch Party went online with the brand hosting a Virtual Worldwide Launch Party for skincare professionals, giving them an early and exclusive introduction to the company's newest products.

‘Bright Years Ahead’ was this year’s Worldwide Launch Party theme and the new products and protocols joining the all-star skincare line-up definitely were bright indeed! The highly anticipated releases launched on the night included both professional and retail products, as well as new treatment protocols.

 

NEW Professional Products

The new PRO pre-extraction emulsion is a neutral pH extraction solution to facilitate the removal of impurities from congested and blemish-prone skin and can be used in all facial treatments that require extractions. Complementing this is the new PRO microderm exfoliator, an exfoliating treatment providing physical, enzymatic, and acid exfoliation in a unique gel form. This product can be used in facial protocols to provide a microdermabrasion experience without having to use a microderm machine.

 

NEW Retail Products

Image Skincare introduced three new retail products that have proven to be hugely popular. With advanced, clinically proven brightening ingredients, they increase skin clarity, correct pigmentation, and help to fight against factors that cause skin to look dull in the first place.

In the Iluma range, we welcomed the new Iluma Intense Brightening Exfoliating Cleanser which is a one-step cleanser + exfoliator that refines dull skin to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. This can be followed with the new Iluma Intense Facial Illuminator - a daily brightening + corrective booster that reduces discoloration and dark spots and reveals more luminous, even-toned skin. The final retail product to launch was the Vital C Hydrating Facial Mist, an ultra-light vitamin C mist providing an energising boost of hydration.

NEW Treatment Protocol

To showcase the incredible benefits of these new products, Image Skincare introduced the new Illuminate & Glow treatment, a results-driven luxury treatment that is perfect for all skin types and helps to brighten, hydrate, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. The best part is that therapists can send their clients home with the new Iluma and Vital C retail products to complete their Illuminate and Glow at-home facial, enhancing their experience and results daily.

All expertly formulated to deliver luminosity, even out skin tone, and create a healthy-looking glow, these new releases have been in huge demand since their launch.
Thank you to all our Image Skincare salon partners for celebrating this incredible launch with us!

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE: 2020 PBS Skin Summit Cancellation

16th March 2020.

In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation, it is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 PBS Skin Summit event.

cancellation.jpg

With a rising number of Covid-19 cases in Australia and globally, increasing restrictions on travel and public gatherings, as well as mandatory self-isolation requirements and social distancing advice, it is with careful consideration and great disappointment that we’ve made the decision to cancel the event.

With multiple guest speakers travelling from overseas, attendees coming from interstate, as well as the Department of Health’s advice to implement social distancing, we felt it was in the best interests of everyone involved to cancel the event.

We’d love to be able to reschedule Skin Summit for later in the year, but with the Covid-19 situation continuing to evolve every day, we’re unable to make any future plans for the event at this stage.

Prioritising the health and safety of everyone involved is extremely important to us and as such, we hope you can understand why this difficult decision was made.
