IMATS LA 2013: Dermalogica

"Face Mapping® skin analysis

Dermalogica’s uniquely holistic approach to the examination of the skin, called Face Mapping®, offers the consumer a systematic analysis not only of skin conditions currently present, but also insights which form the basis for proactive preventive care, including product recommendation.

Face Mapping is offered by a Dermalogica skin therapist as the first step in the client experience, prior to any treatment or product being prescribed. The process, which may be given in as little as five minutes, divides the skin into 14 zones.  The therapist not only examines the skin visually under high magnification, but also touches the skin of the face and neck in all of the zones, identifying subtle skin conditions through nuances of texture, temperature and tension. This information is recorded on a graphic “map†of the client’s skin, and is kept in file as a basis for comparison for future visits.

The technique is essential to Dermalogica’s belief that fixed skin “types†are a myth, and that in fact everyone’s skin condition is always changing, requiring adjustments in both home care and professional treatments which reflect the most current condition. Skin condition is affected by multiple factors ranging from shifts in hormonal levels and changes in diet to changes in weather and environment.

Face Mapping may be experienced at no charge and with no obligation at any of the 6,500 skin care centers across the USA that offer Dermalogica products under the prescription of a licensed skin therapist."

Dermalogica has finally returned to IMATS after a very long break from the show.  

They just launched a new Multi Vitamin Power Serum a few months ago, which has a retinoid formula called Hydroxypinocolone Retinoate developed by a pharmaceutical company that Dermalogica acquired.  It includes pharmaceutical grade ingredients that are prescription strength, yet are available without a prescription. It uses "micro-encapsulation technology through liposomes" which means that the particles are so tiny it allows for deeper penetration.

The 30% off special was available for attendees over the weekend.

They make some awesome products! That'd been a booth I'd want to see. Interested to see how this new serum performs!

  So the 30% discount didn't apply to all the products? Just certain products?

Trying to get an idea for the Dermalogica discount in April
