This growth inspired Sarfati to create new express facials that utilize seaweed-infused sheet masks, and retail seaweed-infused sheet masks, that clients can perform at the Facial Bar or in conjunction with other treatments. These include: Repêchage Red-Out Express Soothing Facial, Repêchage Biolight Express Brightening Facial, Repêchage Red-Out Soothing Sheet Mask, Repêchage Biolight Brightening Sheet Mask, and the Repêchage Lamina Lift Hydrating Seaweed Mask.
In addition to Sarfati, guest speakers included Angela Noviello, Italian Director and National Coordinator for OTI Oncology Esthetics, who discussed the emerging field of Oncology Esthetics, a growing sector of esthetics internationally. Business Management Specialist/Founder and CEO of Image and Beauty, Tommaso Cernuschi, and Marketing Expert/Founder and CEO of Parrucchierando srl and Socialando srl, Alberto Montecroci, also shared business management tips and how spa professionals can use social media and web marketing to drive business.
