Introduction and Background
Can you tell us a little about yourself and how you got started in the beauty industry?
Sure! I started in the beauty industry about 20 years ago with a background in pharmacy. I was always passionate about clothes, art, painting, makeup, and perfumery, which led me to beauty therapy school in Switzerland. From there, I worked as a freelancer in France, collaborating with hotels and pop-up places, including Crillion and the Cannes Film Festival. I also focused on nutrition, working from the inside out to ensure good stomach health and using supplements. My journey began as a teenager dealing with acne, which fueled my passion for skincare.
I also spent several seasons working in the famous Kulm hotel in St. Moritz, treating the rich and famous with my advanced skin therapist techniques.
What inspired you to start offering Infuzion treatments at your salon?
I was one of the first to start offering Infuzion treatments because I saw the incredible results it could achieve. It's like a facelift without the surgery, making the face look more refreshed and lifted. Many brides come in for this treatment a few weeks before their wedding and see a significant difference, even after just one session. We start with microdermabrasion to remove dead skin cells, making the skin smoother and more receptive to the Infuzion treatment.
What makes Infuzion treatments different from other skin improvement and volume restoration methods?
Infuzion treatments are unique because they deliver nutrients deep into the skin without needles. This attracts a diverse clientele, including men, celebrities, royalties, TV stars, business professionals, and an international crowd. The results are natural and subtle, which is what many people are looking for nowadays.
What are the main benefits clients can expect from Infuzion treatments?
Clients can expect a glowing, smoother complexion with minimized pores and a lifting effect. It also helps reduce redness and stress-related neck issues. The treatment uses ingredients like CBD and volumizers to enhance the skin's appearance.
How soon can clients see results, and how long do those results typically last?
Clients can see results almost immediately, with improvements continuing over the following weeks. The effects typically last several months, depending on individual skin types and care routines.
Can you walk us through a typical Infuzion treatment session? What can clients expect during and after the treatment?
During a typical session, I start with a gentle cleanse and microdermabrasion to prepare the skin. The Infuzion treatment is then applied, which is painless and comfortable. After the treatment, clients can expect a refreshed and hydrated appearance. There is no downtime, so they can return to their daily activities immediately.
Are there any specific skin types or conditions that particularly benefit from Infuzion treatments?
Infuzion treatments are suitable for all skin types. They are particularly beneficial for those with dull, dehydrated skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and redness.
Who is your typical clientele, and how do you approach their treatment?
I take care of a wide range of clients, from teenagers needing small treatments like a lash lift to the rich, famous and royals including celebrities and high-placed business people. Regardless of their status, I treat everyone with the same level of care and attention. Each client receives a personalized approach to ensure their specific skincare needs are met. Whether it's a teenager struggling with acne or a celebrity looking for a quick refresh before a big event, I strive to provide the best possible results for all my clients.
Can you tell us about any notable clients who have experienced Infuzion treatments at your salon?
While I always respect the privacy of my clients, I can share that I've had the honor of treating some very distinguished celebrities and royals. They, like many of my clients, appreciate the subtle yet effective results that enhance their natural beauty without any invasive procedures. These high-profile clients trust the Infuzion system to maintain their skin's youthful and healthy appearance, which is a testament to the quality and efficacy of the treatment.
Can you share any memorable success stories or feedback from clients who have undergone Infuzion treatments?
Many clients report feeling happier and more confident after their treatments. One memorable story is of a bride who came in looking tired and stressed but left with a radiant glow. Regular clients also follow a healthy lifestyle, drinking plenty of water, eating healthy, and incorporating practices like yoga and meditation, which enhances the results.
How do you handle clients who might be skeptical or nervous about trying a new treatment?
Initially, convincing skeptical clients was challenging, but now that Infuzion is well-known, people are more open to trying it. We reassure them by explaining the process, showcasing results, and offering a trial session to alleviate any fears.
How have you seen the demand for non-invasive treatments like Infuzion change over the years?
The demand for non-invasive treatments has grown significantly. People are moving away from fillers and Botox, preferring more natural methods to look younger and age gracefully.
What future trends do you foresee in the beauty and skincare industry, especially related to non-invasive treatments?
I foresee a continued shift towards natural beauty, with a focus on treatments that enhance rather than alter. People will increasingly seek holistic approaches, combining skincare with overall wellness practices like exercise, healthy eating, and mindfulness.
From a business perspective, how has offering Infuzion treatments impacted your salon?
Offering Infuzion treatments has been great for business. It's a popular treatment that provides excellent results and generates good revenue. It's also a fantastic complement to other treatments like facelifts and scar treatments.
What advice would you give to other salon owners considering adding Infuzion treatments to their service menu?
I highly recommend it. It's a good investment, easy to perform, and delivers impressive results. The machine is affordable and portable, making it convenient to offer in various settings.
What do you personally enjoy most about providing Infuzion treatments?
I love seeing the immediate and long-term results that make clients happy and confident. It's rewarding to offer a treatment that not only improves their skin but also boosts their overall well-being.
How do you stay updated with the latest advancements and trends in the beauty industry?
I stay updated by reading industry publications, connecting with beauty professionals globally, and attending conferences. I'm always curious and cautious about new trends, ensuring I only offer the best to my clients.
Who do you admire as beautiful women, and why?
I admire several women who embody timeless beauty and grace. Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Cindy Crawford, and Elle Macpherson are all iconic figures in the world of beauty and fashion. They each have their unique style and elegance that have made them enduring symbols of beauty. Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford have always impressed me with their classic, natural looks. Audrey Hepburn's elegance and grace continue to inspire many, including myself. Brigitte Bardot's bold, effortless style and Elle Macpherson's radiant, healthy appearance are also incredibly inspiring. These women represent a standard of beauty that is not just about looks but also about confidence, poise, and a certain timeless quality.
Can you give us some insights on your personal skincare routine:
Absolutely! My skincare routine is quite comprehensive, focusing on maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. Every day, I start my routine with Micellar water, followed by a serum-rich day and night cream, and Vitamin C-powder. I always use a rich eye cream, which I massage into my skin gently. Sunscreen is a must, so I always apply one with +50 SPF. Depending on the season, I adjust the creams I use to meet my skin's changing needs.
In addition to my skincare products, I make sure to eat Bio Ceuticals every day and drink plenty of water. My morning ritual includes starting the day with a liter of hot water with fresh ginger and lemon. I also prioritize sleep, ensuring I get at least 7-8 hours every night.
Once a week, I dedicate time to a comprehensive skin and body care routine. ❤️
