Science of Regenerative Esthetic Treatments for Skin Laxity
Regenerative esthetics is rapidly redefining the way skincare professionals approach age-related concerns—particularly skin laxity. As a specialized branch of regenerative medicine, this evolving discipline prioritizes the restoration and revitalization of the skin’s natural structure and function.
According to The Evolving Field of Regenerative Esthetics, the path forward requires a fresh look at how we define aging skin, the challenges of soft tissue degeneration, and the clinical goals of regenerative therapies.

Rewarding Excellence with a Global Touch
On a recent L+A Now Webisode, industry educator Mary Nielsen from Spectrum Advanced Aesthetics outlined what professionals should look for when vetting skincare brands. At the top of her list? Brands that provide not only exceptional education but also incredible rewards.
The Nelly De Vuyst Egypt Trip is Exactly That Kind of Reward
“This trip is a shining example of how a skincare brand can go above and beyond to celebrate the people who make it successful,” says Barry Eichner, Co-Founder of L+A. “These aren’t just customers—they’re partners. And this is how you honor partnership.”
The Adventure: Egypt Like You’ve Never Seen It
The itinerary is nothing short of majestic. Over 10 days, attendees will:
- Marvel at the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx
- Sailing the Nile on a luxury cruise, visiting temples in Luxor, Aswan, and Edfu
- Soaking in the sunshine along the Red Sea at Soma Bay
- Exploring Old Cairo, with its churches, bazaars, and the famed Citadel
- Dining on local cuisine and experiencing traditional Nubian culture and entertainment
From Hyatt Centric Cairo West to the Jaz Al Horeya Cruise to the Sheraton Soma Bay, every moment is curated for inspiration, relaxation, and connection.
Education Is Always in Style
While the itinerary might sound like a dream, this trip is firmly rooted in the brand’s commitment to growth and education. And when it comes to skincare knowledge, Nelly De Vuyst doesn’t just walk the walk—they lead the global charge.
At the heart of the brand’s educational initiatives is Manon Pilon, the powerhouse Director of R&D, who regularly presents at top-tier conferences like ESI, IECSC, and AAAM. At recent IECSC shows in Las Vegas, she taught four packed classes per day. That’s not a flex—it’s a full-on masterclass in commitment to the professional community.
Professionals who partner with Nelly De Vuyst don’t just get cutting-edge products; they get ongoing access to elite education, expert support, and exclusive perks like this unforgettable trip.
L+A + Nelly De Vuyst: A Trusted Partnership
This isn’t the first time L+A has experienced the magic of Nelly De Vuyst. In April 2024, Barry and Jenni joined the brand in Montreal for their Royal Weekend at The Ritz Carlton—a luxe affair complete with advanced trainings, hands-on treatments, and even a Royal Gala Dinner with Princess Isabella of Belgium.
