THE WHAT? XWELL has debuted its AI-powered express manicure at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City.
THE DETAILS Said to be the first robot manicure, XWELL has teamed up with Clockwork to launch the fully autonomous manicure service, which couples proprietary artificial intelligence with 3D technology to paint nails in under 10 minutes without human intervention.
The AI-powered robots will be launched across the XWELL’s portfolio of 31 spa locations in early 2023.
THE WHY? Looking to adapt to consumers’ ‘changing expectations’, the new service signals the faith place in the resurgence of the travel retail industry, as well as the ongoing lure of non-human-to-human contact in a post-pandemic, interconnected society.
XWELL Chief Executive Officer Scott Milford, said: “This is just one of the ways that XWELL is enhancing its spa services to meet the needs of clients on their journey and demonstrating continued innovation in wellness offerings.”
Medical aesthetic products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics, which combines medical practices with cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of individuals. These products are typically used under the supervision of trained medical professionals such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or specialized nurses. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain higher concentrations of active ingredients or require medical expertise for their application.
Examples of medical aesthetic products include:
-
Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to restore volume, fill wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These may include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or collagen-stimulating fillers like Sculptra.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectable neurotoxins used to temporarily paralyze facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by facial expressions.
-
Chemical Peels: Solutions containing chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid, used to improve skin texture, treat acne scars, and reduce hyperpigmentation.
-
Laser and Light Devices: Equipment used for various skin treatments, including hair removal, skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, and treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions.
-
Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients such as retinoids (e.g., tretinoin), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants, designed to address specific dermatological concerns under medical supervision.
-
Microneedling Devices: Devices that create tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and elasticity.
-
Cosmeceuticals: High-quality skincare products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, often containing biologically active ingredients with proven efficacy.
