C-Esta: What is the essence of this Skin Care Management System?

February 4, 2012 By patkaspian

Not only are A French Touch Salon’s clients raving about the C-Esta product line, but skin care professionals all around the country are thrilled with the results that their clients are seeing from using the C-Esta line. Below are a few examples.

“We love the C-ESTA Serum from JMSR and see it as one of the most comprehensively recommended products for our patient base. From those that are in the early 20’s through our Baby Boomer patients and beyond, C-ESTA is commonly recommended with rave reviews from users and is consistently one of our top sellers in this line, and among Vitamin C products. Jan Marini has many extraordinary products with C-ESTA Serum clearly being included in that category.”

Joel Schlessinger MD, FAAD, FAACS
Board Certified Dermatologist and Cosmetic Surgeon
Omaha, NE
 

“One of our best sellers, C-ESTA Serum, continues to produce fabulous results for our clients that are looking for a good Vitamin C product. Bright, smooth and tighter looking skin keeps clients coming back for this effective product. I recommend this product to my facial surgery patients to help prolong the results of their surgery.”

Lee D. Robinson, M.D., P.C.
Lake Oswego, OR
 

“Our patients tell us that this product is a “face lift in a bottle.” It really complements any facial treatment or laser service that we offer. The skin’s appearance is measurably firmer and tighter. The appearance of wrinkles is dramatically reduced. C-ESTA remains one of our best selling JMSR products.”

Nanette Broderick

“I have been using the C-ESTA product line by Jan Marini Skin Research for nearly 12 years on patients, staff members and myself. This dynamic antioxidant solution has integrated well into both our rejuvenation and maintenance skin care regimes. User compliance with C-ESTA protocols has been exceptional, and we have noted that these patients are very satisfied with the clinical benefits of using this product.”

Carlos Puig, MD
Katy, TX
 

“Jan Marini C-ESTA Serum is my favorite topical Vitamin C. It combines other essential factors to improve the appearance of fine lines and skin firmness. It is very easy to apply and feels great on the skin. With daily application, skin looks more youthful within a short period of time.”

Noushin Parastouk, MD
Irvine, CA
 

“I truly love Jan Marini’s C-ESTA Serum! It is hands-down one of my favorite JMSR products. The light sweet smell, creamy texture and overall improvement I see in my skin, make it by far the best Vitamin C product on the market! I use C-ESTA Serum daily on my face, neck and chest, and can’t imagine this not being part of my daily skin care regime!”

2012 Jan Marini Skin Research Business Conference

February 4, 2012 By patkaspian

The eclectic, sun-kissed artist colony of Laguna Beach provided the beautiful backdrop to the recent Jan Marini Skin Research Business Conference, which I attended as Guest Speaker last month. Even the rain couldn’t keep the high energy of this vastly informative conference down. The event featured dermatologists, plastic surgeons, elite spa directors, and even Jan’s expert upper management team. All of these individuals voiced their incredible success with Jan Marini Skin Research products and methodology.

As always, I’m proud to be carrying a world-class skincare line based on clinical studies that provide medically-validated results. Expanding internationally in 2011, and supporting her distributors and their clients with unparalleled customer service and product quality, Jan herself is a “poster child” for graceful aging. This sleek, elegant brunette’s eloquence is only matched by her radiantly beautiful skin (is it any wonder?). During her presentation, she spoke of her humble beginnings and her early passion for active ingredients, especially after encountering advertising claims for retail products that did not deliver on their promises. Her original quest – one she accomplished – was to develop a truly effective line of skincare that delivers results.

Medical Validation

The conference reminded me the medical validation that the line offers. It’s no surprise that Jan Marini has received the highly prestigious New Beauty Magazine Awards two years in a row for Most Recommended Skin Care in a Doctor’s Office (2011) and overall Best Skin Care System (2012).  Her widespread acceptance by the medical community conveys the serious quality of her line. The best testimonials at the Conference came from Jacqueline Calkin, M.D. (Board Certified Dermatologist from Sacramento, CA) and Kelly Bomer (Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon from Scottsdale, AZ), both who recommend the products to their patients after having conducted their own internal clinical studies that confirmed the results.

RETINOL PLUS vs. Retin-A

Formerly advocates of prescription Retin-A for clients seeking topical smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, these medical professionals now opt for Jan Marini’s RETINOL PLUS, which avoids the “ugly” acclimation period common to Retin-A while offering the same end results. The hydrating activity of Green Tea extract and Hyaluronic Acid found in RETINOL PLUS make this product the clear choice for anyone wanting to incorporate retinol, the “Gold Standard” of anti-aging ingredients, in their regimen.

DUALITY for Adult Acne

Pioneering the first ever Benzoyl Peroxide/Retinol solution to acne, the most common skincare problem in the United States, the doctors further provided testimonials and clinical “before and after” photos that appear in the Company Brochure (available at our salon). These and other doctors and aestheticians raved over DUALITY and its ability to resolve long-term acne for their patients and clients. The results speak for themselves.

A French Touch Presentation

For my talk, I focused on the important role aestheticians play in listening to, and partnering with, our clients to develop their best regimen, and ultimately delivering their BEST SKIN! Ultimately, my loyal clients are ALL my “Poster Children” and make my job a true “labor of love,” for which I am very thankful. Following in Jan’s path, I will continue to bring you the best in professional skincare technology through highly respected product lines such as hers.
