A New Synergy
A new professional organization hopes to unite skin health and
nutritional education for skin care professionals. The Nutritional
Aesthetics Alliance will promote an integrative approach to skin
care, combining whole foods-based nutrition and lifestyle practices
with natural skin care products and noninvasive treatments.
"We are honored to be able to unite the expertise of many, allowing
us to pool our collective knowledge and firmly establish the power
of nutritional aesthetics," says NAA president Rachael Pontillo.
Officially launched June 1, the NAA will begin accepting members
in September; a NAA Certification Program is slated for introduction
in 2016. For more information, visit www.nutritionalaesthetics.com.

The Future of Spa Equipment
During its inaugural meeting earlier this year, the TouchAmerica
Advisory Board (made up of top US spa operators and
developers) identified trends it felt were crucial to the development
of future spa and salon equipment. A few top trends:
• Space savers: Spa equipment must do more with less. Certain tables,
chairs, carts, and even retail displays should be compact and portable.
• Mobile check-in: iPads and smartphones are replacing large reception
desks, freeing up space for revenue generators such as retail displays.
• Universal design: The average baby boomer is 60; the US will
experience considerable growth in its older population over the next
25 years, and spa equipment and furniture needs to be adaptable.
