Non-Invasive Body Contouring: A Game-Changer for Fat Loss

Ready to unlock new service offerings, significantly grow your business, and join fellow professionals committed to redefining body transformation?

·       Non-invasive body contouring is a huge trend today as clients continue to seek effective, affordable non-surgical options for fat reduction.

·       The rise of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro is accelerating this trend further, as patients seek to sculpt and refine their figures after significant weight loss.

·       Using GLP-1 agonists alone can lead to great weight loss, but some patients experience challenges such as disproportionate fat loss or loose skin.  The answer? Combination Therapy with non-invasive body contouring.

·       In most states, you do not need to hold any particular license to practice non-invasive body contouring with a non-medical device.

In this product-neutral class, we’ll explore science, the latest techniques, and technologies (and more) behind non-invasive body sculpting to help you determine if offering this service is right for you and your clients. You’ll also see how safe, quick, and easy a session can be with a live demonstration utilizing a targeted cryotherapy device.

Become the go-to professional in non-invasive body contouring and stand out in the industry!

How Beauty Pros Lead the Climate Movement

Beauty professionals have a unique opportunity to lead the change to a more sustainable beauty industry and planet. Through involving your community, expanding education, and making small changes - the beauty industry can save the world

Hannah Craik is the founder of Salonvironment and Co-Founder of the Green Beauty Community. With 11 years of cosmetology under her belt, she quit behind the chair in 2020 to focus on something she felt was missing - sustainable education and climate advocacy resources for beauty professionals.

She currently helps salon owners with consulting on how to create a more sustainable space with the resources that are available to them, making it achievable and realistic for long term success, provides free education for beauty professionals on her website, throws events that helps awareness and provides a service for the community (such as recycling pop-ups for stylists and beauty product swaps), started her own line of plant-based false lashes, and still likes to do a little bridal hair work on the side.

She dabbles in understanding policy change and how important it is for beauty professionals and environmental justice, enjoys material science, recycling advocate, fights for transparency, loves the beauty industry, and believes in the power of grassroots organizations.

Her first love is nature is being able to "play outside" and believes everyone should respect their mother (Earth). She enjoys hiking, paddle boarding, tree hugging, and that everyone deserves a beautiful life. 

In this empowering virtual workshop, beauty professionals will learn how to set and maintain professional boundaries without compromising client relationships. From navigating difficult conversations to preventing burnout, attendees will walk away with tools and scripts to communicate clearly, protect their time and energy, and feel more confident in their workday interactions.
