Revision Skincare, M.A.D Skincare, FACTORFIVE Skincare, and Sorella Apothecary are among our featured brands, showcasing peels, corrective procedures, and post-procedure regimens this fall. One of the key goals for every medical + spa skin care professional is to find procedures, products, and devices that can be used in treatment to improve and correct skin issues.
Over the past year, L+A has traveled the globe looking for the most effective treatment options to share with our community. In that time, we’ve been in touch with leading brands and found updated procedure protocols, all-new procedures, and all-new post-procedure options. These new treatment options for medical + spa skin care professionals are a result of an evolution in the industry.
Thanks to all of the brands listed in this article for sponsoring this content so that L+A can share these amazing corrective skin care options.
As the industry has grown and changed over the past few years, much about the treatment philosophy has changed. The medical + spa skin care industry has been shifting to a slower, gentler, approach to skin care correction. We’re seeing a more comprehensive approach to skin care, in that, medical + spa skin care professionals are realizing that overall skin health is vital in order to achieve maximum results with any treatment.
“Preparing the skin before treatment is critical to achieving the best results. A week before a procedure, modalities such as LED, red light therapy combined with hydrodermabrasion, or a facial with an enzyme mask, gentle superficial depth peel (mandelic acid), or nanoinfusion can be used to prep the stratum corneum 1 week before an aesthetic procedure such as laser or microneedling. This enhances the skin’s receptivity to the upcoming treatment and promotes deeper penetration of active ingredients. Medium depth peels such as higher concentrations of TCA, retinol, and AHAs should be done at least 2 weeks following resurfacing treatments, if appropriate healing has taken place.”
Dr. Chantal Lunderville, L+A Medical + Wellness Editor
This new philosophy for skin care treatments is leveraging technology to help boost product efficacy and build the skin. It also includes a gentler approach, ensuring a healthy barrier with optimal hydration levels before jumping into a corrective treatment. More and more we are seeing a focus on skin recovery, post-procedure. There has become a strong understanding of what the skin needs in order to recover from procedures to maximize treatment results and these new options are helping medical + spa skin care professionals in exponential ways.
Post Procedure
There is a very defined process that the skin goes through after trauma. This trauma response happens instantly and through intensive research and development skin care manufacturers are creating new and inventive ways to give the skin more of what it needs to react to the trauma and begin the repair process.
In fact, one physician created his own post-procedure cream for his patients to use after RF Microneedling treatments. One major skin care brand has created an all-new post-procedure regimen designed for use after chemical, mechanical or thermal treatments.
Peels
The hallmark of skin care correction will always be chemical peels. However, the peels of 2024 are vastly different from the peels of 2004! The peels of 2024 are much more sophisticated and much more gentle.
“I remember in 2000 when I first started working in the professional skin care industry, the philosophy was to be as aggressive as possible with chemical peels in order to achieve the most correction. We now know that approach potentially caused too much inflammation which did more harm than good.
I am thrilled to see the Peel Evolution that has happened over the past decade. Now medical + spa skin care professionals can perform resurfacing corrective treatments that help the skin function more optimally.” Barry Eichner
Peels are for all parts of the body not just the face, evidenced by this intimate peel with hydrodermabrasion that has been taking the industry by storm! L+A has found an all-new peel that incorporates stem cell factors into a two-step treatment system. L+A has been showcasing a guide on how to incorporate needling and peels for the past year. One of the country’s leading brands is showcasing a Retinol Booster that can enhance their peels. One of our L+A sponsors is showcasing a Retinol Peel that is delivered through a proprietary time release technology.
Botanical + AHA Procedures
“My first job in the spa industry was at an aromatherapy day spa, it was there that I learned never to underestimate the power of botanicals for skin care correction. Our entire treatment menu was centered around aromatherapy. The business did evolve and added in more scientifically based treatments and products, however, we continued to incorporate botanicals into the treatments and home care. The medical + spa skin care professionals who worked in our facility loved this combination and found immense success for their clients.” Barry Eichner
In 2024, the professional skin care industry is still seeing the use of botanicals and naturally derived AHA in skin care correction procedures. We are also seeing these treatments being combined with cutting-edge devices that help enhance the treatment. One of our legacy brands has an AHA-based treatment that they pair with dermaplaning and hydrodermabrasion to ensure stellar treatment results. One of the most respected botanical brands is showcasing a botanically based treatment that is combined with LED Light Therapy to correct and improve skin.
Growth Factor, Stem Cell + Exosome Procedures
Advancements in skin care science have taken so many brands into the arena of growth factors, stem cells, and exosomes. These ingredients are sophisticated and can have such a positive impact on the skin, especially when paired with devices that can boost their absorption. While these products use intracellular delivery systems, they can have a greater impact when paired with a transcellular delivery device. We’re seeing brands use nanoinfusion, microcurrent, and ultrasound in procedure protocols.
Excerpt from How Ultrasound Technology Works in Skincare
“Ultrasound enhances the penetration of skincare products by temporarily disrupting the skin barrier, allowing active ingredients to reach deeper layers for more effective results.”
Dr. Krystal Briglia, L+A Medical + Wellness Contributor
One leader in this arena has used a synthetic placenta growth factor with ultrasound to offer medical + spa professionals a winning skin care correction procedure. We’ve also found an exosome treatment from Korea who also uses ultrasound. A leader in menopausal skin care combines advanced ingredients with microcurrent to lift and sculpt the skin. Finally, a brand born out of medical research is using nanoinfusion combined with their patented delivery system to get growth factors and stem cells into the skin.
The Hottest Peels + Corrective Procedures for Fall 2024

Growth Factor Repair Booster With NanoInfusion by SESHA
As we age the skin incurs free radical damage which results in the breakdown of collagen and elastin which leads to facial wrinkles and sagging.
This damage stunts growth factor function and oxidative damage is not repaired as quickly as we age. The damage is permanent, however, applying topical growth factors to the skin has proven to be effective in reversing the signs of aging. SESHA EGF Repair Booster utilizes a concentrated dose of Epidermal Growth Factors and Stem Cells Activators Media to stimulate collagen and elastin production to help reverse mature skin with deep wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
The SESHA MesoBotanica Nano Pen with 8 Infusion Serums offers a full skincare regimen for customizable 4-step facial treatments. Using pharmaceutical-grade botanicals and potent ingredients with patented delivery technology, SESHA Mesobotanica delivers impressive long-term and instant skin rejuvenation results.
