The Power of Protons pHformula Australia

Our faces are a powerful communication tool. The expressions our face can make depict our love and admiration of something or someone, our dissatisfaction or anger, our fear, our frustration, our level of relaxation – basically, our mood at any given time.

Whether we’re smiling, emphasising a point, or frowning, it’s our facial muscles that provide the face movement and govern the shapes in which our face can create.

As skin specialists, we work alongside (or more specifically on top of) the facial muscular system, and we can enhance circulation and nutrient supply to the dermis and epidermis through facial massage.

On today’s episode of the Power of Protons, we’re exploring the muscles that populate our face, the benefits of facial massage and how we can incorporate this manual technique into a pHformula controlled chemical skin resurfacing procedure.

A couple of weeks ago we had the privilege to travel to the
pHformula Art Club nestled in the heart of El Born, Barcelona. Accompanied by five enthusiastic skin therapists, we fully immersed ourselves in the culture, the science and the heart of pHformula where we learnt more about the skin, advanced resurfacing techniques, and elevating value that we can offer our communities.

Just like our manifesto reads, here, there is no room for conventional.  No room for complacency. There is only space for the experimental ones that want to learn, to teach, to play and (in the case of our family of skin specialists across the globe) to solve the skin of the world.

There were countless take-homes that we gathered as a group, across our 5 days in Barcelona, 3 of which were at the Art Club. pHformula’s Internation Education Team took us on a journey filled with passion that really did reignite our sparks and shared wo many valuable tips and trips that will amplify the treatments we can perform and the way we ensure optimal outcomes from our homecare prescriptions.

This episode is our Art Club Diary entry – with the top 7 takeaways that we want to share with this audience in the hope that they will not only educate but also inspire a little spark in you too.

Gone are the days when the only light source was the sun, and people could only connect in person! These days, our lives are heavily reliant on ubiquitous technology that
empowers us to connect, communicate, and process. Technology is highly relied upon for us to do business, deliver education, launch new products, connect with friends and run seminars and conferences.

But what effect does this heightened exposure to artificial energy (specifically, high energy blue light) have on the human mechanism and the function of our body's largest organ, the skin. The studies are in and there is some hard evidence that links excessive exposure to impaired barrier function, DNA damage, tissue breakdown and accelerated cutaneous ageing.

Today we’re diving into blue light, reviewing some of the science that links exposure to skin dysfunction, how much is too much and what are the side effects, and exploring some practical steps that can assist in managing the side effects.

So often when we look at skincare formulas, we first read the impressive claims and see the shiny marketing images. And whilst most raw ingredients that are widely formulated with come with their own scientific evidence, what becomes of a finished product containing a cocktail of ingredients?



This episode of The Power of Protons will take you on a behind the scenes tour of the most recent clinical study undertaken by pHformula. With Mariona Jimenez, pHformula's Head of R & D, as your guide, you will be amazed to learn what goes on behind the scenes of a clinical study, that 1+1 doesn’t always equal 2 in formulating terms and most importantly, what the results of our Chronic Redness Study were!

As we make our way towards the cooler months here in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s likely that your clients will be looking to reverse some of the effects of summer – specifically new pigmentation and brown spots that have been stimulated to the surface.



For decades, the professional beauty, dermal and aesthetics industry have approached the treatment of pigmentation with modalities like IPL and Laser, alongside chemical peels, microneedling and possibly microdermabrasion – procedures that aim to get rid of the old, over pigmented cells and stimulate the proliferation of new fresh daughter cells that hopefully find their way back up to the surface without the same over-population of melanin as their predecessors.



Unfortunately, despite best intentions, we can overlook the fact that the hyper pigmentation has often been triggered by trauma, inflammation and possibly a hormonal influence in the case of melasma for example and that rehabilitating the temperamental melanocyte takes a very careful balance so as not to overstimulate him again and cause a rebounding pigment stream that comes back with a vengeance to better protect the new cells.



So how do we best avoid pigment bounce back whilst still offering the measurable and long-lasting results that our clients are seeking?



Listen up – this episode will explore the process of melanogenesis, treatments that hold risk to trigger pigment bounce back and prudent measures to reduce the risks in our treatment programs.
