POLISH TO A SHINE: AESTHETIC VIDEOSOURCE PRESENTS “DRY ROOM TREATMENTS: BODY SCRUBS”

(PRLEAP.COM) Salt Lake City, UT – Exfoliating treatments are a must on every spa’s menu of offerings, and the starting point for other body treatments, such as body wraps. Exfoliation – whether with a scrub, microdermabrasion, or dissolving exfoliant – unclogs follicles and pores, improves the skin’s texture and smoothes it, stimulates the skin’s overall function, increases circulation, and allows for deeper product penetration. In Aesthetic VideoSource’s new Dry Room Treatments: Body Scrubs (Volumes 1 & 2), Malinda McHenry, a licensed aesthetician and instructor, walks you through the steps of providing various exfoliating treatments in a dry room setting, making exfoliation an easy-to-offer service in any spa.

In Vol. 1, McHenry demonstrates how to provide three types of full-body exfoliation services: dry brush exfoliation (the standard method used prior to other treatments), gel-based chemical exfoliation, and the classic salt body scrub. In Vol. 2, she demonstrates how to provide two more exfoliation services: body microdermabrasion (with a hand-held rotary device and cream with aluminum oxide crystals) and a classic sugar body scrub.

In both volumes, McHenry covers all the steps from preparation to the finishing touches that your clients will love. She discusses room and table set-up, supplies, available product types, client preparation, and benefits and contraindications. She also shows step-by-step how to mix and prepare products, drape and position clients, keep clients warm, stimulate lymphatic flow, remove products in a dry room setting, and provide a pre- and post-treatment client consultation.

“Scrubs and polishes increase vasodilation without heating or cooling the body,” says McHenry. “They can be offered by themselves as a stimulating massage, or as part of other body treatments, such as anti-cellulite, body wraps, and sunless tanning, allowing for better product penetration.”

“Malinda McHenry explains every step in detail so anyone can learn how world class spas provide these great body exfoliation treatments,” says Shirley Erickson Gorospe, president of Aesthetic VideoSource. “Aestheticians, cosmetologists, and massage therapists will feel confident that the techniques they’re using are top notch and will benefit clients.”

Malinda McHenry is a licensed aesthetician and cosmetologist with over 20 years’ experience. Co-owner of Elite Aesthetics and Academy of Aesthetic Arts, McHenry has also been instructing since 1989.

Aesthetic VideoSource produces and distributes detailed, comprehensive health and spa instructional DVDs, so anyone – with or without prior experience – can properly perform the procedures shown. Aesthetic VideoSource is the forerunner in educational media distribution, with award-winning DVDs and an always-expanding list of offerings to meet the beauty industry’s needs.
