THE WHAT? Dermalogica has named Cirsten Hannken as General Manager for the UK and Ireland. She succeeds Mark Hermann who has stood at the helm for the past five years and will leave the company this month.
THE DETAILS Hannken has been the GM of Dermalogica Germany for the past seven years, and brings a deep knowledge of the brand to her new role.
THE WHY? Hermann is stepping down in order to ‘travel with his family and embrace fresh challenges’, the Unilever-owned brand said in a press release. Hannken reveals, “I’m delighted to be continuing my Dermalogica journey in the UK market and joining such a strong team. I’m particularly excited to embrace the UK’s professional industry after successfully leading the first market globally to launch Dermalogica’s Pro Pen and expansion into advanced services, with more innovation and technology on the horizon, the best is yet to come.”
Clinical aesthetics products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics or cosmetic dermatology. These products are typically designed and formulated to be used under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained aestheticians. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain active ingredients or formulations that require expertise in their application or administration.
Examples of clinical aesthetics products include:
-
Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Examples include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectables that temporarily paralyze facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements, such as frown lines and crow's feet.
-
Chemical Peels: Solutions applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its texture. They can treat acne, pigmentation issues, and signs of aging.
-
Laser and Light Therapies: Devices that emit focused light or laser energy to treat various skin conditions, including acne, scars, and signs of aging.
-
Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients like retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants to address specific skin concerns under medical supervision.
