CREATING TIMELESS BEAUTY by combining technology and scientific formulations
By combining two advanced beauty treatments and customising home care, Renaissance owner Rina Grobler was able to help her client transform her skin within five months. She breaks down the steps she took to ensure rejuvenated skin for a fresher, younger look.
Phase 1
During the first consultation, Rina performed a thorough skin analysis, tailoring Environ’s Vit A step-up system and recommending personalised home care that addressed the client’s concerns directly. She then documented all irregularities and lesions on the skin. The primary concern was telangiectasia (broken capillaries) on the cheeks and sebaceous hyperplasia to a lesser extent. Other concerning factors were irregular skin tone, blemishes, signs of ageing, and dryness.
Phase 2
Having agreed on an in-salon treatment plan, we started by treating the telangiectasia with a LAMPROBE device that makes use of radio waves and high frequency technology. It works on the principle of liquids being attracted to heat, released by various sized and shaped probes for the treatment of all types of different lesions.

Rina treated the capillaries using a LAMPROBE telan probe to precisely tap just the surface of the capillaries, thermocoagulating them and blanching them. Within two days, light scabbing appeared and these disappeared within a week. A post-care antibiotic ointment was used.
Rina’s LAMPROBE and Environ treatments were separated for five weeks to allow for the skin’s natural barrier to be restored.
Phase 3
Next, Rina used Environ’s Cool Peel Technology treatments to treat signs of ageing, soften blemishes and refine the texture of the skin. This treatment enhances the skin’s natural ability to stimulate growth factors, stimulate collagen production and desquamate dead keratinised cells. For optimal results, Environ recommends a course of three to six treatments.
Rina used a 2.5% Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) cream for all three peels and gradually increased the duration of the peel every week to the recommended 20min, before removing the peel.
The facials were finished off using a combined Alginate mask and Environ’s Ionzyme DF machine and saw outstanding results.
Phase 4
The client’s Environ home care consisted of the Gentle Cream Cleanser, Mild Day and Mild Night cream, Revitalising Toner, Super moisturiser, Seriénce Night Serum and the daily RAD sunscreen.
The overall result is a satisfied client with younger, healthy looking skin. As Rina says: “I take every opportunity to create visible results and healthy younger looking skin. Client satisfaction is at the heart of what I do.”
