Environ is a globally recognized professional skincare brand that has become synonymous with scientifically-backed skincare, particularly for its focus on the use of vitamin A and other essential nutrients to support healthy skin. Founded in 1990 by Dr. Des Fernandes, a South African plastic surgeon, the brand was developed with the aim of creating products that could offer real, measurable skin improvements.

Dr. Des Fernandes, after years of clinical experience, noticed a significant gap in the skincare industry. He realized that many skincare products weren’t formulated with active ingredients in the right concentrations or the correct forms to truly make a difference in the skin. Specifically, he noticed that Vitamin A, which is essential for healthy skin, was underutilized in mainstream skincare. Vitamin A is known to help with collagen production, cell renewal, and the overall maintenance of skin health.

With this insight, Dr. Fernandes set out to create a skincare line that would deliver high-potency vitamin A to the skin in a safe and effective way. He understood that skincare should not only be about the cosmetic look but about skin health at a deeper, cellular level.

The guiding philosophy of Environ skincare revolves around the importance of vitamin A, the skin’s natural processes, and continuous skin improvement through regular use of scientifically proven products. Dr. Fernandes often refers to the “beauty from within” concept, emphasizing that healthy skin starts from deep within the cells and requires proper nourishment, protection, and care over time. This approach has made Environ a leader in holistic, results-driven skincare.

Iontophoresis (Electrical Currents): This technology uses electrical impulses to push ingredients deeper into the skin. It helps boost the penetration of key ingredients like Vitamin A (Retinol), Vitamin C, peptides, and antioxidants, which are essential for skin health and rejuvenation.

Sonophoresis (Ultrasound Technology): Ultrasound waves help increase the permeability of the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of active ingredients. It helps calm inflammation, boosts circulation, and enhances product absorption, making your skincare more effective.

Customizable: The treatment can be customized to your skin's needs. Environ has a wide range of serums and masks (such as Vitamin A, C, and peptide-based formulas) that can target various skin concerns, making it suitable for all skin types and tones.

The Environ DF Facial is incredibly versatile and can benefit almost anyone. Here are a few examples of who would benefit most:

1. Those with signs of aging: Environ’s Vitamin A and C serums are known for their anti-aging benefits. If you're noticing fine lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin, the Environ DF facial can help stimulate collagen production and restore firmness and elasticity.
2. People with hyperpigmentation: The facial can be incredibly helpful for clients dealing with sun spots, age spots, or melasma, as Vitamin C and other brightening ingredients can help even out skin tone and reduce dark spots.
3. Clients with acne-prone skin: The treatment helps to regulate sebum production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture. The use of Vitamin A and other purifying ingredients can help clear congested pores and reduce acne breakouts.
4. People with dehydrated or dry skin: Environ’s formulas are rich in hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, making this facial an excellent choice for those seeking deep hydration and plumpness.
5. Sensitive or inflamed skin: The treatment can also work wonders for clients with rosacea or sensitive skin. The technology helps to calm irritation and boost the skin's natural healing processes, without the need for harsh exfoliation.

Clients typically see immediate visible results after just one session, but the real transformation happens after a series of treatments. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Instant Glow and Radiance: The skin looks brighter, more even-toned, and glowing. The use of powerful antioxidants like Vitamin C helps boost radiance, while the increased circulation from the treatment makes the skin appear refreshed.
2. Smoother, Firmer Skin: Fine lines and wrinkles may appear softer, and the skin feels more plump and lifted. The combination of iontophoresis and sonophoresis stimulates collagen and elastin production, which over time results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
3. Reduced Hyperpigmentation: For those with dark spots or uneven pigmentation, the facial can lighten and brighten areas of concern, giving the skin a more uniform tone.
4. Clearer Skin: Acne and congestion can be reduced, with smoother skin texture and fewer breakouts. The treatment helps to balance oil production and reduce inflammation, both of which are key in acne management.
5. Improved Hydration: Dry or dehydrated skin will feel more supple and moisturized, as the treatment deeply hydrates and restores moisture balance.
