Professional cosmetics
Professional cosmetics are a special category of skin or hair care products that are used by dermatologists, cosmetologists in aesthetic clinics and specialists in beauty salons. Some types of cosmetics are recommended for home care after the salon procedure.
What is the difference between professional cosmetics and mass market cosmetics
The main difference between professional products and cosmetics intended for everyday use is the concentration of active ingredients. In the products, which are presented in stores and available to the mass consumer, their share does not exceed 30%, in the series designed for salon procedures - it reaches 50-70%. Since professional cosmetics have an intense effect, the dosages must be strictly observed when using them. As a rule, such products are used for short-term or infrequent treatments.
Distinctive features of cosmetics for professionals are also:
- a wide range of lines;
- increased volume of packaging and its laconic design;
- minimum content of coloring and aromatizers;
- need for strict adherence to instructions and storage rules.
The effect of applying products with a powerful professional effect is noticeable after the first treatment.
Why are professional cosmetics more expensive?
The price of professional beauty products is much higher than the prices of mass market cosmetics. The high price is due to three factors:
- Complex and long-term production. Products intended for use in aesthetic clinics, beauty salons and cosmetic cabinets are manufactured based on lengthy laboratory studies. Pharmacists, chemists, biologists, technologists and allergists work on the formulation of products, and the highest quality raw materials are used to make them.
- Solving individual problems. Mass-produced cosmetics are designed for the general consumer, in most cases they are universal and are classified mainly by skin type and age group.
- Quality certificates. The products are subjected to complex clinical trials, improvement and certification.
Professional cosmetics: advantages
Salon procedures using professional beauty products are popular with women and men due to:
- high efficiency. Even a long course of skin or hair care can't provide such a high result as a few sessions at a cosmetologist;
- the ability to solve a variety of narrowly targeted problems - for example, the elimination of pigmentation, dark circles under the eyes;
- safety of procedures and absence of side effects.
It is worth noting that some cosmetics require specialists to undergo training organized by the manufacturer or official distributor.

Many manufacturers produce cosmetics for home use between visits to the cosmetologist in addition to professional products. Often cosmetologists themselves can share some items with patients if they need to continue professional care at home after the procedure.
Professional cosmetics for the face: features and purpose
Such compositions contain a high concentration of active substances capable of reacting and actively influencing the skin and subcutaneous fatty tissue. They are usually enriched with vitamin and mineral complexes, bioactive substances.
The salon cosmetics should be used in accordance with the instructions that are supplied with each product. Before selecting, purchasing and using any product yourself, you can consult with our specialist at the phone number listed on the website.
Professional facial cosmetics are designed according to age. If young girls care enough to protect, nourish and moisturize the skin, older women have to use "heavy artillery". With such cosmetics it is necessary to be especially careful and it is better not to use it without the prescription of your cosmetologist.
Professional body cosmetics: features and purpose
This group includes very different types of cosmetics: deodorants and soaps, hand, foot and nail products, body shaping, shower, cosmetic clay of different colors, oils and balms. Professional body care products are used not only by cosmetologists, but also by massage therapists, specialists in aromatherapy and anti-aging procedures.
Some positions can contain up to 50-70% active ingredients, so body skin, which has a denser stratum corneum of the epidermis, reacts very differently to the application of such professional products.
Some customers think that an increased concentration is a very good thing, the effect will be more powerful. However, the patient may not understand that the concentrated substance has to be measured to the nearest gram. This applies, for example, to acids in peels and whitening products.
Professional body cosmetics have a more intense effect, and you need to be doubly careful. Moreover, many brands that produce professional products for cosmetologists also produce series that are suitable for home use. It is recommended to use them in between visits to the specialist.
Professional hair care cosmetics
Professional cosmetics include products designed for different hair types. If your scalp is oily and the roots get dirty quickly, gentle cleansing is the first priority. If the scalp is too dry, the strands become too dull, the ends split and break. A different approach is required for men and women, gray and dyed hair, and an experienced stylist will always be able to determine which professional hair cosmetics are needed in a particular case.
Professional cosmetics are divided into several types:
- care cosmetics (shampoos, conditioners, sprays, masks);
- protective products;
- coloring and styling products;
- ampoules, serums, sprays to solve specific problems (alopecia, inflammation, frizziness).
In order to get healthier hair, you need to strictly follow the prescriptions of a specialist.
