SKINFO® and NEOCUTIS Host a Skin Scanner Event to Reveal the True Condition of Your Skin!

Oct. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Skinfo® Specialty Skincare Boutique and NEOCUTIS bring the Skin Scanner to Skinfo® on October 14, 2010 from 6pm-8pm. The Skin Scanner uses black light and magnification to reveal to the client the damage to the skin not visible to the naked eye.

The event will start with a presentation by Frank Dreher, the Chief Scientific Officer for NEOCUTIS. He will explain the history of NEOCUTIS, what separates it in the skincare market and specifically the most distinguishing ingredient in the NEOCUTIS Skincare line, Processed Skin Cell Proteins (PSP®) and what it can do for your skin.

Clients will then have a personal skin evaluation using the Skin Scanner to determine the best skincare regimen based on their individual needs. Each unique regimen will be developed by Skinfo’s Skincare Specialists and Neocutis’s Frank Dreher. Frank will provide one-on-one consultations as well to answer questions and ensure the product selection will deliver the results the client is seeking.

For more information about the event, please call 847-459-2800.
