New Clinical Depth: Dr. Briglia’s First IECSC Las Vegas
A major highlight of this year’s show was the debut of Dr. Krystal Briglia, L+A’s Medical + Wellness Contributor, at IECSC Las Vegas. With her medical background and functional wellness expert, Dr. Briglia brought a layer of clinical depth to our coverage that elevated every demo, every conversation, and every brand experience.
Dr. Briglia dove headfirst into live trainings, advanced device education, and scientific product launches. From med spa-focused technologies to holistic skincare lines, she evaluated how each innovation could be integrated into comprehensive client care. Her hands-on involvement with so many of our featured exhibitors brought new insights and greater context to L+A’s clinical storytelling.

The Brands That Lit Up the Show
This year, the show floor was brimming with energy—and these L+A brand sponsors brought their A-game. Whether it was stunning booth design, groundbreaking new launches, or thoughtful education, the following exhibitors truly stood out.
BioSkin Aesthetics
Barry modeled while Dr. Briglia trained with Michael Razzano on BioSkin’s cutting-edge microneedling device paired with BioRePeelCl3. The live treatment showed how microneedling plus BioRePeel’s exfoliating technology work synergistically for skin rejuvenation. Attendees flocked to this booth, snapping photos, asking questions, and absorbing advanced technique tips.
Silhouet-Tone
The team spent time reviewing their Vortex microdermabrasion device with Dr Briglia, explaining how this device fits perfectly into a medical spa practice.
Canfield
Their VISIA imaging system, and their NEXA-LT platform, continue to revolutionize consultations and treatment planning. Dr. Briglia and Jenni tested the integrated tools and explored how this combination elevates before-and-after photography, offering advanced skin analysis that enhances trust, compliance, and treatment efficacy in both clinical and spa environments.
Celluma
Dr. Briglia enjoyed an LED Light Therapy session under the redesigned Celluma PRO, and the verdict? Relaxing, effective, and sleek. The new look pairs aesthetic beauty with the same trusted LED tech known for addressing acne, aging, hair restoration, body contouring, and pain.
Jenni spent time with Brian Gable, CMO, to learn about the newly launched Celluma Contour PRO, a 5-mode modular system that includes a small panel optimized for the head.
DermaJEM
Collaboration was the theme here. DermaJEM partnered with TalaDerma, Pro Plasma Esthetic, and lilac + flint to bring high-impact energy to the event. These strategic collaborations helped skincare professionals see firsthand how devices can pair with different product lines to enhance treatment customization and deliver superior results.

With ECOCERT-certified sustainability, Nelly De Vuyst’s BioTense Collection is a top-tier option for eco-conscious clinics. Their treatment demos merged luxury and green science, proving that efficacy and ethics can coexist beautifully.

Always iconic, DMK’s six treatment tables were constantly buzzing. Their Enzyme Therapy had new and veteran pros raving. The brand’s commitment to education and skin revision continues to set the gold standard.

Jenni got a Lash and Brow Lift + Tint—and both were flawless. The global lash leader’s booth emphasized artistry, education, and product precision. Dr. Briglia connected with their training team to discuss lash care as a valuable add-on for med spas.
Face Reality
Barry is so honored with an invite to speak at their Inaugural Acne Summit in Austin. Meanwhile, Stephanie treated him to a custom exfoliation demo right on the show floor. The Face Reality booth buzzed with purpose and passion—acne warriors, unite! L+A was also lucky enough to attend their Acne Experts Party at The Paris, where Barry + Jenni got to meet Dana D’Amico – the 2025 Acne Expert of the Year. We’re obsessed with Face Reality’s parties—they’re always a great vibe with signature cocktails, delicious food, and so much laughter with their amazing team!
FACTORFIVE
New launch alert! Barry tested EXOFECTA, an exosome-powered post-treatment serum. Tiffany Underwood broke down how the formula accelerates healing and glow. This one had microneedling fans taking notes. We loved getting the chance to spend some one-on-one time with Tiffany to learn more about the science and application of EXOFECTA. Jenni and Dr. Briglia were able to get all of their questions answered—we absolutely love the opportunity to learn from passionate professionals!
Hale & Hush
We celebrated 10 years of this sensitive-skin favorite with Hale & Hush founder Kris Campbell, as well as Amanda Mazur, the 2025 Hushie of the Year, and Stefany Henderson, Hale & Hush’s June Featured Skincare Professional. Hale & Hush continues to lead the way in formulations designed specifically for sensitive and compromised skin. We always love hanging with the Hale & Hush team and had a blast joining them at their annual “Team Awesome Dinner” on the final night of the show! We feel like part of the family. It was a joy to connect with their team, hear their story, and see how much their community loves and trusts the brand after a decade of dedicated innovation.
Lira Clinical
Hands down—literally—their Hand Treatment Protocol was a hit. With a scrub, acid peel, and a deeply hydrating balm, Barry’s hands were smooth for days. Lira launched this treatment on June 23rd at IECSC Las Vegas as part of their all-new HEALTH Restorative Hand Treatment. Jenni, Dr. Briglia, and I loved doing this treatment at the Lira Clinical booth. “The back of my hands were as smooth as velvet for the rest of the day! LOVE!” — Barry Eichner. The launch exemplified Lira’s commitment to blending luxury and science.
NeurotriS
Always delivering science-backed lift, NeurotriS wowed us again. Dr. Briglia went hands-on with their microcurrent devices, and Barry modeled for a facial. Instant results, long-term benefits, and stellar education support.
Pro Plasma Esthetic
Combining JET PLASMA D66 and EXOFECTA, this booth offered a truly innovative pairing. Practitioners were drawn to the enhanced absorption and skin renewal protocols. The team transformed their space into a mini-learning lab.
Rezenerate
The Rezenerate Nano Bar was one of the show’s most fun activations. Attendees chose serums and enjoyed customized hand treatments using Rezenerate’s nanotechnology—gentle, effective, and brilliant in concept.
Sorella Apothecary
Stylish, smart, and seriously results-driven, Sorella proved why they’re adored. Their “Beauty with Brains” (a term Barry gave them during a past webinar) approach came alive through chic demos and smart packaging. Jenni is heading to their 2025 Summit in theTahoe National Forrest—stay tuned!
