Cidesco to introduce its own signature treatments
POSTED 22 Jan 2018 . BY Tom Walker
The treatments will be developed to be brand-neutral, so therapists will be able to administer them in conjunction with their own spa-speciality products
International beauty and spa therapy standard setter Cidesco has announced plans to launch a menu of signature experience treatments this year.

Designed by the the organisation’s senior educators and examiners, the selection of unique treatments will be unveiled in at the America Beauty Show & IECSC in April 2018.

The first of the range of new selections, the Cidesco Age-Defying Facial, will be introduced and taught by Cidesco president Anna-Cari Gund at the event, which takes place 28-30 April in Chicago.

Available exclusively to Cidesco accredited salons and spas, the treatments will be developed to be brand-neutral, which means that all product lines may be utilised – and therapists will be able to administer them in conjunction with their own salon or spa-speciality product houses.

According to Gund, Cidesco will also use the new treatments when marketing its accredited courses.

“These signature treatments reflect the skills of our diploma therapists and their positioning as among the best in the world,” she said. “It is very much taken from a treatment perspective, rather than a brand one, so gives our members something just for them which incorporates some of the specialist techniques and super service our members are taught as part of their Cidesco diploma.”

Founded in 1946 in Brussels with its head office in Zürich, Switzerland, Cidesco (Comité International d’Esthétique et de Cosmétologie) provides accreditations for beauty and spa therapy training. Membership is open to the leading schools, colleges, beauty salons and spas of the world and students looking to achieve the Cidesco Diploma qualification.
