Technology is evolving to meet today’s unprecedented demand for aesthetic procedures. As aesthetic practices around the world gear up for another busy year, they can look to devices and products that aim to expand options and improve outcomes. Companies are engineering technologies that safely target common aesthetic concerns, from cellulite to skin laxity and aging, effectively, with minimal discomfort and with little to no downtime. And, it is not only the products, themselves, that are advancing to new levels but also the tools aesthetic clinicians use every day in practice.
In addition, devices continue to evolve, enabling a broader range of patients and faster treatment times, as well as versatility, allowing practices the freedom, convenience and efficiency to use one machine to accomplish many aesthetic goals.
And with topical skincare formulations becoming more specialized to address specific concerns, aesthetic practices can use today’s scientifically proven products with or without in-office procedures to enhance outcomes, as well as keep skin looking radiant.
Low Dead Space Needles
Air-Tite Aesthetics has added the smallest TSK needle to date, THE INViSIBLE NEEDLETM, to their line of TSK Low Dead Space (LDS) hub needles. These are premium hypodermic needles manufactured in Japan. The LDS design reduces the excess effective hub space to nearly zero, which could potentially result in a significant cost and product savings with each box. A conventional needle hub may retain a sizeable dead space, sacrificing unused medicine with every injection. With the new TSK LDS hub, the amount of dead space loss is minimized almost entirely. At just 0.2 mm in diameter, the new INViSIBLE NEEDLE is 33% thinner than the popular TSK 30G needles, which may provide a more comfortable injection experience, while potentially reducing the risk of bruising for patients.

Emsculpt Neo
Emsculpt Neo is the first non-invasive body shaping procedure to provide simultaneous fat elimination and muscle building in a combined 30-minute session. Emsculpt Neo builds off the legacy of its predecessor, Emsculpt, by concurrently emitting both radiofrequency and high intensity electromagnetic energies. Using the most reputable scientific methods, Emsculpt Neo showed consistency in eliminating fat and building muscle. The end result is more fat reduction (30%) and muscle growth (25%) on average, in less time and for less money. Best of all, Emsculpt Neo has broad appeal as it can treat patients with a BMI up to 35!

Cyspera Intensive System
Scientis is an emerging Swiss dermatology company dedicated to discovering, developing and bringing innovative dermo-cosmetic products to market for pigmentation disorders. Our Cyspera® Intensive SystemTM, formulated with the novel Cysteamine Isobionic-Amide ComplexTM, is clinically proven to be fast and effective against hyperpigmentation without the concerns of corticosteroids, retinoic acid and hydroquinone: isobionic-amide multiplies the pigment correction efficacy of Cysteamine. AHA stabilizes Cysteamine, which enhances permeability into the skin and reduces odor on skin. AHA reacts immediately with isobionicamide, which produces an instant pigment lightening. Cyspera IntensiveTM delivers a powerful antioxidant activity to improve the appearance of persistent brown patches and dark spots. Cyspera NeutralizeTM re-balances the epidermis after application of Cyspera Intensive. Cyspera BoostTM is formulated with an isobionic-amide complex that works synergistically with Cyspera Intensive to even skintone, improve complexion and deliver a natural and healthy glow.
