Cryomed official distributor of UNIVERSKIN

Universkin joins Cryomed’s ever-growing portfolio of exceptional brands, empowering doctors with the tools to create a unique, personalised skincare service for their patients.

Cryomed has welcomed Universkin to its portfolio,a sophisticated digital diagnostic and skincare dispensing service used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons and aesthetic practitioners in 38 countries worldwide. The doctor-only skincare line is designed to address the unique needs of each individual’s skin using one super serum with a customisable range of 19 active ingredients.

Dr Harry Arampatzis (pharm. D), CEO and founding member of Universkin, is the main thinker behind the innovative bespoke skincare company. Having had, for a long time, the idea of a personalised skincare range, Dr Arampatzis, along with the Universkin expert team, pioneered the Universkin system that allows practitioners to tailor a unique skincare formula for each individual.

Their aim: no more one product fits all, no more fancy marketing claims, but a functional approach to formulating the most suitable skincare formula to each skin’s specific needs.

‘Personalised medicine (and skincare) was invented 2,500 years ago when Hippocrates put the patient at the centre of medical care,’ says Dr Arampatzis.

‘Considering a person’s unique needs above all else is not just a ‘trend’; it is more important to know the patient who has the concern, than the concern the patient has.

‘Although modern medicine is increasingly accepting the importance of personalisation, it continues to give priority to treating the symptoms. Universkin is a unique skincare approach to address the individual patient, rather than a broad treatment approach to a heterogeneous population. ‘By utilising cutting-edge technologies, Universkin is empowering health professionals to create the future of skincare.’

Incorporating Universkin in your clinic

‘Once you decide to implement Universkin in your practice, we take care of the training (online and physical) and creating the space within your practice,’ Dr Arampatzis explains. ‘In parallel, we set-up our unique digital platform, SkinXS, to help not only the health professional but the whole team to be involved in presenting and selling the Universkin offering.’

Universkin also offers a concierge service for repeat orders, a personalised web shop that ‘revolutionises any known level in patient retention’, as well as ongoing marketing tools and support to help make the whole process effortless.

‘Universkin is designed with the busy aesthetic practitioner in mind,’ he says. ‘it’s “plug and play”.’

Universkin delivers a holistic approach to skincare, with scientific evidence and clinical results that are well documented. ‘Universkin is skincare reinvented,’ says Dr Arampatzis. ‘our offer is not one size fit all; we are able to personalise every aspect of our brand to better fit not only the patients’ needs but also those of the health professional and their clinic. Challenge us and you will be surprised by the versatility of our offer.’

The Universkin experience

with Dr Steven Liew

Plastic Surgeon, Shape Clinic, Sydney

Customised skincare has been a big trend in recent years. Do you believe it’s here to stay?

Customised skincare is absolutely here to stay, particularly as consumers become increasingly savvy due to the vast amount of information at their disposal.

Today, it feels like everyone has their own skincare range and it is hard to distil fact from Sction. Compounding a skincare product for someone changes the thought process completely. It becomes more about the client rather than a one size fits all approach.

Universkin is the only true comprehensive customised skincare in the market, with 19 different types of active ingredients to choose from to create a unique formula for each patient. No two skins are alike, not even among twins.

What first attracted you to Universkin range?

Universkin is a bespoke skincare range with accessibility to ingredients that are restricted by the TGA. It allows us to titrate the concentration of any ingredient when we are treating particular skin concerns.

We have had the range at Shape Clinic since 2016. We were the first clinic in Australasia to stock Universkin and this was when customised skincare was still a fairly new phenomenon. We have many patients who have used Universkin since the beginning and have not swayed. We see the range as a treatment, and it complements other products we have in the clinic very nicely.

How has Universkin changed the way you and your team approaches skincare?

At Shape Clinic we place a large emphasis on skincare. We believe that a healthy skin is at the centre of what we do. Universkin allows us to address clients’ needs beyond traditional antioxidants, retinols and moisturisers. It allows us to customise a treatment plan with a bespoke product that can effectively treat inflammatory skin concerns, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, compromised skin barriers, hormonal breakouts and/or facial flushing.

It has allowed us to offer a customisable treatment solution for our patients – not only to treat skin conditions and skin concerns, but also to provide suitable formulas post surgical and non-surgical treatments.

Universkin also gives us the ability to use its AI platform or to compound formulas ourselves. You can increase the strength of the product and have thousands of options to work with.

Universkin is not sold online and differentiates your practice as it is somewhere between a skincare and pharmaceutical product, but all in-house.

In short, Universkin is a complete in-clinic compound pharmacy that allows us to customise correctly for each patient’s skin type. We are able to create a skincare product that is specially made for their skin, and one that works! AMP
