Quick links to FAQs:

  • What is the difference between SMARTDiode and SMARTDiode PRO?

    SMARTDiode is a certified medical grade diode laser for the application of super fast hair removal. It is the best-in-class laser hair removal technology, with a state-of-the-art design, superior build quality, and intelligent software.


    SMARTDiode Pro is our newest technology, based on the SMARTDiode technology. SMARTDiode Pro is the first step for aesthetic practitioners into becoming specialists in effective, fast and comfortable laser hair removal for all skin types.

  • What’s the difference between SMARTDiode and other laser technologies?

    Where traditional “mineral” based laser sources/mediums like Alexandrite or YAG produce specific wavelengths, the Diode technology allows for the adaption of different wavelengths for greater performance and versatility. The SMARTDiode produces laser emission by an electrical energy source, producing an adaptable, powerful and stable laser that provides outstanding results.

  • Are multiple wavelengths a benefit?

    Different wavelengths of laser travel different distances within the skin, affecting different hair types accordingly.


    A short wavelength of 755nm will tend to have better results in the treatment of fine, fair and shallow (face) hair follicles, whereas longer 1064nm wavelength will be better on course, dark and deep (pelvic) hair follicles. In the middle, the 808nm is a great allrounder.


    The SmartDiode and SMARTDiode Pro offer a choice of wavelength options to best suit your client demographic.

  • Is SMARTDiode safe?

    All lasers carry an inherent risk. They must carry the correct certification and should only be operated by trained professionals. The SMARTDiode and SMARTDiode Pro is an internationally quality-assured medical grade laser. Fully certified training, including Core of Knowledge, risk assessments and treatment protocols as well as practical treatment application, are provided with the price.

  • Can SMARTDiode really treat all skin types?

    Yes. SMARTDiode and SMARTDiode Pro have been certified to treat all skin types on the Fitzpatrick scale.

  • Can SMARTDiode treat white hair?

    No. The SMARTDiode and SMARTDiode Pro lasers rely on a pigment to absorb light energy and convert it into heat energy. As white hair has no colour pigment, it is unable to work effectively.

  • How many laser sessions are required?

    The biological process of hair growth cycles means that a minimum of 6 treatments are required. Our studies show that the average with the Smart Diode is 8 sessions. Different human factors and clinical indications can require further treatments.

  • Are there any consumable costs?

    No. Apart from each session requiring a transmission gel, there are no consumable costs or head changes required.

  • Does SMARTDiode come with a warranty?

    Yes, the Smart Diode and SMARTDiode Pro are supported with a fix or replace “48 hour” piece-of-mind 12-month warranty. Virtual diagnostics can update and repair online with no salon visit required. Extended warranty packages are available from only £100 a month.

  • Do I need extra insurance?

    Yes, most insurance policies allow for a laser treatment insurance addition. If you require guidance, we can recommend independent specialist treatment insurance providers from only £250 per year.

  • What type of clinic/salon is SMARTDiode suited to?

    Professional, medical-grade Laser hair removal is an essential aesthetic treatment. Highly in-demand and capable of providing high revenue per hour, SMARTDiode and SMARTDiode Pro laser hair removal provides both positive cash and footfall for any professional aesthetic operation.

SMARTJuvium

  • What is SMARTJuvium?

    SMARTJuvium is a 1550 nm medical non-ablative fractional Erbium Laser, designed to treat a wide range of skin conditions and dermal indications without the downtime that can be associated with ablative CO2 lasers.


    The treatment is often referred to as “Laser resurfacing” or a “Laser peel” treatment.

  • How does SMARTJuvium work?

    The Juvium 1550nm  Erbium laser works on the principle of fractional  photothermolysis. This is the process when water within tissue absorbs the laser energy and vaporises causing instant trauma within the targeted area. The body’s response system is to repair the whole area with the regeneration of new collagen and remodel dermal tissue.

  • What does ‘fractional’ mean?

    SMARTJuvium delivers laser energy with precise Microscopic Treatment Zones (MTZ’s) that only affect 10% of the total surface area. The non-invasive MTZ’s  target the dermal tissue to an exact depth causing a reaction of repair and regeneration across 100% of the area. This Fractional delivery has proven clinical results for a wide range of indications with virtually no pain and minimal downtime.

  • How does SMARTJuvium affect the skin?

    The initial reaction will be some reddening of the skin and possible mild swelling and discomfort which subsides after 1-2 days. Immediate results can be seen with noticeable continual improvement over the next 10-21 days and the deeper  collagen rejuvenation within 8 weeks.

  • What’s the difference between SMARTJuvium and CO2 lasers?

    The erbium wavelength and non-ablative fractional delivery of the SMARTJuvium creates substantially less dermal damage and physical trauma to the skin compared to CO2 lasers. This, therefore, results in considerably less pain and downtime.

  • How many SMARTJuvium treatments are needed?

    SMARTJuvium “laser peel” skin resurfacing treatment can deliver excellent results, so typically only one treatment is required. Exceptional indications may require further treatments only after a full realisation. Results have been measured from the initial treatment, normally after 8-12 weeks.

  • Is laser resurfacing better than chemical peels?

    While chemical peels may lessen fine lines and rough skin, they are not as efficient at deeper wrinkles or loose skin. SMARTJuvium laser treatments tackle a wider range of indications, ranging from sun damage, scarring, acne and skin tightening, as well as the repair of superficial dermal repair.

  • Is there any client downtime?

    Clinical downtime is not required with clients able to perform daily functionality without compromise.


    Initial skin care and avoidance of direct sunlight is advised.

  • Is the SMARTJuvium treatment painful?

    The SMARTJuvium treatment is not painful for most clients; a mild pricking sensation may be felt. Cryo Shot delivers adjustable “ice air” cooling the skin’s surface as you treat it.


    By being non-ablative, clients do not experience the discomfort of a persistent burning sensation, hot spots or “crispy skin” often described with CO2 and non-fractional laser resurfacing.

  • Are SMARTJuvium treatments safe?

    As with all laser treatments, a level of risk is present. SMARTJuvium is certified, FDA-approved and accompanied by a robust training program in order to minimise risk.


    A full consultation, patch test and a mandatory treatment protocol are required before treatment. We provide a quality assured medical device certification, full training and ongoing support to ensure you are able to operate your SMARTJuvium safely.

  • What is SMARTSculpt Pro?

    SMARTSculpt Pro is a multi-technology platform for the delivery of body contouring, inch loss and skin tightening treatments. The combination of 4 key technologies has a proven record of delivering sustainable long-lasting results.

  • How does SMARTSculpt Pro work?

    The Smart Sculpt offers two key functions:


    Fat reduction: SMARTSculpt Pro uses radiofrequency to target and “melt” adipose fat cells, a process called apoptosis. It also stimulates the body’s metabolism to “flush” the compromised cells through the body waste and lymphatic system.


    Skin tightening: RF stimulates the body to create collagen and strengthens fibroblasts to create a tightening of the skin. 

  • What are the effects of SMARTSculpt Pro on the skin?

    Clients often remark the sensation is akin to a hot stone massage. The skin heating is controlled by infrared treatment monitoring to ensure a comfortable experience without pain or overexposure.


    Erythema is a good sign that the skin is reacting to the treatment and a slight reddening is welcome, only lasting 1-2 hours.

  • Is SMARTSculpt Pro safe?

    Yes, the treatment is non-invasive and the intelligent software creates a comfortable, safe treatment delivery.


    Certified training ensures practitioner competency and quality assured device certification is mandatory. Ongoing clinical support and advice is provided to ensure robust clinical results and excellence in client care is maintained.

  • Are the treatments painful?

    No, deep heating caused by RF and infrared results in a warming and kneading sensation, created by a vacuum massage, resulting in a noticeable but often pleasurable experience.

  • How many treatments do I need?

    6-8 treatment courses are advised. Treatments can be retaken 3-4 days apart but weekly sessions are most common. 

  • What is the after-treatment advice?

    Clients should drink 4-6 glasses of water and maintain hydration. avoid saunas, exercise and direct sunlight on the area immediately after treatments.

  • Who is the treatment suitable for?

    Most people can have a SmartSculpt Pro treatment in line with the common contraindications. The fitting of electrical surgical devices such as a pacemaker or metallic skin implants within the treatment area prohibits treatment.

  • How long do results last?

    The biological changes created by the treatment are permanent, however long-term results are determined by the client’s lifestyle and skin health regime. Body contouring is not promoted as a weight loss solution and results can be compromised through poor diet and exercise. 


    Inch loss can be measurable after just one session, and a tightening of the skin is often visible immediately. Skin tightening and cellulite treatments can last years if good practices are maintained, with clinical studies showing a continual improvement in inch loss and skin tone achieved beyond the prescribed course.


    The best results are progressive and a course of treatments is recommended with periodical reviews and recordings. 

  • Is there any client downtime?

    No, a SmartSculpt Pro is a perfect “lunchtime” treatment with sessions lasting between 20 to 60 minutes depending on the area.

ACCOR

  • What is plasma?

    Plasma is an electrically conducting medium produced when the atoms in a gas become ionized. It is sometimes referred to as the fourth state of matter, along with the solid, liquid, and gaseous states.

  • What treatments can be offered with ACCOR?

    ACCOR provides aesthetic professionals with the ability to create permanent results for over 20 indications, including:

    • Soft blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelids)
    • Rhytids and wrinkles – crow’s feet, forehead glabella
    • Epidermal creases, nasal labial, marionettes, smokers’ lines, 
    • Face, jaw and neck lift 
    • Loose skin body, arms & hands
    • Pigmentation, age spots 
    • Skin tags and benign lesions
    • Soft facelift, plasma shower 
    • Acne, acne scarring, stretch marks
  • Is the ACCOR treatment safe?

    Yes, ACCOR treatments are gentle and safe. The unique LF technology ensures a non-invasive procedure with no basal layer damage, blood or scaring.


    A full consultation and test patch is carried out 7 days before treatment.

  • What is LF technology?

    The unique Low Frequency “LF” technology, exclusive to ACCOR devices, delivers a stable and consistent Plasma Arc. Whilst at optimum power, the LF technology provides a shallower and broader imprint than standard plasma pens. This gentle and safer delivery and quicker epidermal healing.

  • Is there any client downtime?

    ACCOR plasma treatment does not require clinical downtime, but can leave multiple micro-millimetre sized epidermal “crusts”. These are treated daily with an after-care cream and heal and flake off over 4-7 days.  


    Mineral-based foundation or concealer can be applied to cover the treated area during the healing process.

  • What training is provided?

    The ACCOR Global Education Program provides the techniques, skills and confidence for students to deliver excellence in treatment results and client care.


    Training is delivered by independent ACCOR practitioners at regional in-clinic locations, whose body of work has been recognised as world elite level and attained trainer status. The training encompasses theory and practical applications on a 1 trainer to 2 student level, thus ensuring the high practitioner competence.

  • What qualifications are required to administer ACCOR?

    ACCOR Cosmetic Corrector is for Beauty, Aesthetic and medical practitioners. NVQ Level 3 or equivalent, (SMPU) and experience are basic entry-level requirements.

  • What is SMARTMeso?

    SMARTMeso is a unique, no-needle mesotherapy. It is non-invasive with no pain and no downtime.


    It uses fractional mesotherapy and electroporation and increases the absorption of the skin.

  • How does SMARTMeso work?

    There are 2 steps to SMARTMeso:


    1. Fractional Mesotherapy 

    The oscillating headpiece of  25 tiny Hollow Microchips puncture the surface of the skin without breaking the epidermis, delivering a skin serum into the skin. 


    2. Electroporation

    As the head touches the skin a microcurrent breaks the CAM’s (cell adhesion molecules), allowing the serum to penetrate the epidermis for an 84%  increase in transdermal penetration (absorption).

  • Is SMARTMeso similar to micro-needling or derma pen?

    No – SMARTMeso is completely non-invasive. The microchips can only penetrate the skin 0.1 – 0.5mm, meaning they reach the stratum cornea only – so no blood! However, It can be used alongside more invasive treatments like micro-needling.

  • Does SMARTMeso hurt?

    No, SMARTMeso is virtually pain-free and non-invasive. A slight “erythema” is common and encouraged as it shows a reaction in the skin and lasts only 20 minutes.

  • Is SMARTMeso treatment safe?

    SMARTMeso is extremely safe and effective, whilst being non-invasive. The depth of penetration, dosage and electroporation are all adjustable to meet the client's individual skin type needs.

  • Can SMARTMeso be used around the eye and for delicate areas?

    Yes – unlike many treatments, SMARTMeso can be used inside the ocular socket, across the eyelids and underneath.

  • Who is SMARTMeso suitable for?

    SMARTMeso is suitable for any client who requires stimulation and feeding of the skin or scalp to improve tone, health, and vitality. It is also suited to clients looking to rejuvenate their skin and combat signs of ageing.


    It is ideal for the clients not wanting downtime or pain associated with invasive treatments.

  • How much can I charge per treatment?

    We recommend an “HA + VIT C” treatment charge of £80 for a full face and neck treatment. (£399 for Six save £80)


    Our Smart Skin treatments range from £125-£185

  • Are there any consumable costs?

    Yes – each treatment requires a new sterile Micro-Tip and syringe to avoid cross-contamination. Along with 5ml of the HA Vit C serum, the total treatment cost is £10.38 per treatment.

  • What type of salon/therapist is SMARTMeso suited to?

    All therapists can use SMARTMeso as either a stand-alone treatment, layered into other treatments or as a delivery system for other products. 


    SMARTMeso attracts all types and is the perfect Medi-spa addition to any beauty or Hair professional.

  • Do I need extra insurance?

    No extra insurance to standard beauty/hair salon treatment liability should be required.

SMARTSkin

  • What is intelligent skincare?

    Intelligent skincare by SMART is a 360-degree approach to stimulate the body into progressively repairing and healing itself for healthier, more attractive skin.


    By combining key base ingredients such as amino acids, vitamins and minerals with the energy of co-enzymes, growth factors and peptides, a total solution is created. This solution stimulates the production of key skin essentials such as collagen and elastin.

  • How does SMARTSkin work?

    When we apply any product to our skin, the body’s natural instinct is to treat it as an imposter, as it is “alien” to our unique molecular structure. The body cannot efficiently detect whether the substance is helpful or harmful, so treats it all in the same way and wants to break it down. Despite many skincare products having fantastic active ingredients, unless they can first communicate with the body’s receptors and then molecularly bind with skin cells, their effect will always be compromised. 


    SMARTSkin contains growth factors and peptides that ‘communicate’ with the cell receptors, encouraging them to accept and use the beneficial ingredients found in SMARTSkin.

  • What are the expected results of SMARTSkin?

    SMARTSkin works from the inside to out, promoting the regeneration of cells and  increasing the health of skin. It repairs damaged tissue and improves structure to develop tone, texture and appearance.


    Regular use of SMARTSkin encourages the progressive improvement of cellular activity and vibrancy, compared to a one-off “booster” treatment, that deteriorates efficacy over time.

  • What are the key ingredients in SMARTSkin?

    SMARTSkin contains 14 vitamins and 24 amino acids that create complex, multiple chains of ingredients that the skin requires for repair and regeneration. Co-enzymes act as fuel, providing the energy the cells need to change the health of the skin.

  • What is the best form of application?

    SMARTSkin is designed as a topically applied serum and is micro emulsioned for increased absorbency.


    We recommend that the aesthetic professional further increase penetration and delivery depth using methods that bypass CAM (cell adhesion molecules) in the skin’s natural barrier, such as mesotherapy (needle or no needle), electroporation or plasma devices. SMARTSkin is also tested as being suitable for dermal injection.
