Those who value education and understand the transformation it can

offer will always find a way to prioritise and attend an event that

promises quality education and information. There is something great

that happens to us when after giving out so much to others we choose

to enter an environment that will give something back to us, reignite

our passion and open up new possibilities that can take us to new

heights. And so those who chose to attend APAN's NEW HORIZON'S thConference and Expo in Canberra on the 25 September will attest to

the value of their investment and the benefit they gained on so many

levels.

It was encouraging to see many travel several hours to take part at this

event. Some from as far as Western Australia and Queensland came

with expectations of gaining great information and becoming re-

energised to continue on their professional and business journey.

The Aesthetics Practitioners Advisory Network presents

Held 8.30am – 4.30pm on Sunday 25 September 2011

These NEW HORIZONS events are niche but dynamic and APAN intends to consistently build on

their momentum and establish them as an educational and networking tradition where great

things will happen for both suppliers and therapists as well as business owners and their staff.

Here is the report following our latest one in Canberra in September 2011.

Canberra NEW HORIZONS – A Great Success

Terry Everitt

Gay Wardle Dr Dzung Price Tina Viney

improving your knowledge on skin analysis can be used as a business

building tool and allow you to constantly maintain appreciative clients

and client growth.

Dr Dzung Price followed speaking on Weight Loss – The new boom

and how you can benefit. Dr Price delivered a compelling

presentation on some alarming statistics on what causes our body to

retain weight and the hidden, underlying offenders that contribute to

weight gain and disease. In her usual vibrant and positive style, which

is very much her trademark, Dr Price helped navigate her audience to

hope and positive solutions that can be immediately and easily

implemented as part of a simple to follow wellness and weight loss

program. Beyond Slim and Wellness Express are two new programs

with specific protocols to help both salon owners and their clients

optimise and regain their energy and vitality,

as well as achieve successful and

maintained weight loss if needed. This

program will open up a new frontier for the

aesthetics industry to provide their clients

with an additional service that was launched

for the first time at this event.

Tina Viney followed with her topic New

Market Drivers that are changing the future

of Aesthetics. Tina covered new technology

in ingredients with specific emphasis on

Probiotics, Hyaluronic acid and the move

towards varying molecular weights as well

as validated information on Peptides and

their functionality within formulations. She

also spoke briefly about the great need for

scrutiny with organic products, urging

therapists to investigate such issues as

stability and the efficacy of their

formulations before they undertake them

within their salons. She further addressed

the emergence of new technologies and their

important and strategic role in achieving

advanced treatment outcomes as well as the

need of critically reviewing quality and

manufacturing integrity and not just price

when investing in equipment. Tina also

spoke on APAN's role in providing the

industry with sound advice and solutions

when it comes to products, equipment,

business and professional needs.

After lunch the long-awaited Industry

Forum welcomed four dynamic presenters,

Tess Walls, Tracey Collins, Gay Wardle and

Katrina Gilligan (who took the place of

Teresa Russo who was unable to join the

group due to a family tragedy). Due to

industry demand salon owners requested to

hear from other salon and business owners

on how they are overcoming obstacles and

challenges with staff performance and

business growth. Each speaker was able to

share candidly from their experience on how

they overcame their own challenges and

turned difficult situations around to achieve

success. Their heartfelt and honest

information was greatly appreciated by all

who attended, and at the end of this

presentation delegates had the opportunity

to ask questions of the speakers.

The two afternoon speakers were Sandy

Sanderson, who spoke on the benefits of

Transdermal Magnesium for the Skin and Body, and Professor

Ray Hayek, who addressed delegates on the Need and Urgency

of Higher Education.

Professor Hayek addressed the issue of professionals finding

their information progressively inadequate in appropriately

meeting the changing needs of their industry and being able to

accommodate changes entering their sector. He stated that this

was not only a problem for the aesthetics industry, but one that is

now faced by many industries. New technologies are advancing

so fast that often professionals are struggling to keep up with

progress. He stressed his concern about the beauty industry

being unregulated and opening itself up to unscrupulous

operators that can bring the industry into disrepute. He also

presented the dangers of the industry being overridden by other

professional groups who can exploit this situation and secure

modalities for their use only.

He stressed the importance for the industry to develop a Code of

Conduct and Industry Standards to protect the industry's

reputation, as well as the value and importance of formal higher

education in allowing the industry to secure its future.

Sandy Sanderson then followed and spoke on Magnesium as an

important mineral that performs over 350 functions in the body.

She also addressed the effectiveness of transdermal magnesium

as the prefered mechanism for its delivery into the body, and the

easy ways that this can be achieved for better health and vitality

as well as skin improvement. She spoke on how magnesium can

As Canberra was in full bloom several guests enjoyed the magnificent beauty of Floriade and other

regional attractions.
