Skin rejuvenation: which device will stay busy in your salon?

Lorema Estetic

When salon owners search for a skin rejuvenation device, they often compare power, treatment modes and manufacturer claims. Yet utilisation depends on much more than technical specifications.

Even an advanced platform may sit idle when the treatment is too specialised, does not match the existing client base or requires skills the team has not yet developed.

Skin rejuvenation is also not one single client need. Some people want hydration and radiance before an event. Others are prepared to complete a course targeting wrinkles, uneven texture, loss of firmness or post-acne marks. Some prioritise comfort and minimal downtime, while others are interested in more intensive correction.

The five devices reviewed here represent different business models:  NeoFrax,  JetPeel Pro,  Mantis AquaTight,  MeDioStar Monolith and  Fraxeen.

Why skin rejuvenation machines sit idle

The problem is often not the quality of the device. It is a mismatch between the technology and the salon’s daily reality.

Before purchasing professional skin rejuvenation equipment, consider:

• the concerns existing clients already mention;

• whether the service is a one-off treatment or a course;

• expected recovery time;

• seasonal limitations;

• appointment duration;

• consumables and disposable applicators;

• practitioner qualifications;

• the number of services that can be created on one platform.

A specialised device may be highly valuable in an established clinic but difficult to fill in a new beauty studio. A multifunctional platform may attract a wider audience, provided its treatments are clearly positioned.

NeoFrax: premium RF microneedling

NeoFrax combines microneedles with fractional radiofrequency energy. RF energy is delivered at a selected tissue depth, while five types of sterile disposable modules allow the practitioner to adapt the treatment to different areas and objectives.

Published reviews describe RF microneedling as a minimally invasive modality used for facial rejuvenation, skin-texture concerns and atrophic scarring. Appropriate settings, treatment depth and patient selection remain essential.

Why NeoFrax can stay in demand

It can support premium treatment courses for:

• reduced firmness;

• visible wrinkles;

• enlarged pores;

• uneven texture;

• post-acne marks;

• selected scar concerns.

NeoFrax is most suitable for clinics with clients who already understand advanced aesthetic procedures and are prepared for consultation, recovery and course-based treatment.

In October 2025, the FDA issued a  safety communication concerning certain uses of RF microneedling. It reported serious complications including burns, scarring and nerve damage and advised patients to seek appropriately licensed and experienced providers.

This means that strong utilisation must be built on practitioner competence and responsible protocols, not advertising alone.

JetPeel Pro: needle-free, low-downtime rejuvenation

JetPeel Pro uses pressurised air and fine liquid microdroplets. According to the manufacturer, a treatment can combine lymphatic massage, gentle exfoliation and trans-epidermal application of specialised solutions without needles or skin breakage.

Its business advantage is a low barrier to entry for the client. The experience does not require a person to commit immediately to an invasive procedure or visible recovery period.

JetPeel Pro can support services focused on:

• hydration;

• radiance;

• gentle resurfacing;

• pre-event treatments;

• face, neck and décolleté care;

• seasonal recovery;

• maintenance anti-ageing programs.

The manufacturer positions JetPeel as a comfortable, non-invasive treatment with no healing period. This makes it suitable for introductory appointments and repeat visits.

Its limitation is depth. JetPeel should not be promoted as a replacement for fractional RF, laser resurfacing or other technologies designed for more intensive structural correction.

Mantis AquaTight: three treatment stages on one platform

Mantis AquaTight combines:

1. aqua-peeling with sequential AHA and BHA solutions and simultaneous suction;

2. monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency;

3. alternating-frequency mesoporation.

Mantis Italia describes a sequence that combines deep cleansing, RF stimulation and the application of hydrophilic active ingredients within one procedure.

Why AquaTight can become a daily workhorse

The treatment is easy to position because the client receives a clear multi-stage experience in one appointment.

Possible services include:

• deep cleansing with anti-ageing care;

• hydration treatments;

• procedures for dull-looking skin;

• face, neck and décolleté programs;

• maintenance RF treatments;

• pre-event facials;

• seasonal recovery protocols.

Research into hydradermabrasion suggests potential improvements in hydration, radiance and skin texture, although outcomes depend on the protocol and formulas used.

AquaTight is particularly relevant for salons seeking a multifunctional facial rejuvenation device that bridges traditional skincare and energy-based treatments.

MeDioStar Monolith: rejuvenation supported by laser traffic

MeDioStar Monolith is primarily recognised as a professional diode-laser platform for hair removal. Asclepion also lists skin rejuvenation, acne and vascular treatments among the system’s applications. Available functions depend on the selected configuration and handpieces.

Its business strength is the ability to attract regular clients through laser hair-removal courses and introduce additional aesthetic services over time.

A MeDioStar-based menu may include:

• course-based laser hair removal;

• maintenance appointments;

• laser skin-rejuvenation services;

• acne-focused protocols;

• selected vascular treatments;

• face-and-body applications.

The Monolith range includes handpieces with different spot sizes, 360-degree contact cooling and options for small or large areas. The platform also supports remote servicing and software updates.

For a facial studio offering mainly skincare treatments, MeDioStar may be more than the business requires. For a laser clinic, its broader range can distribute utilisation across several service categories.

Fraxeen: professional microneedling for a compact practice

Fraxeen is a professional microneedling device developed by Dermedics as the third generation of its MST system. It offers six adjustable speeds, selectable needle depth and sterile single-use cartridges for the face, body and scalp.

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that initiate natural repair processes. Reviews associate the modality with improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, scars and stretch marks when correct depths, hygiene standards and professional protocols are used.

Fraxeen can support:

• facial microneedling;

• post-acne texture programs;

• neck and décolleté treatments;

• scalp protocols;

• nano-needling;

• fractional mesotherapy;

• course-based rejuvenation.

It suits practices that want to develop microneedling without starting with a large multifunctional workstation. However, every treatment requires appropriate sterile consumables and strict infection-control procedures.

The FDA notes that professional microneedling devices may reach blood vessels, nerves and deeper skin structures and recommends treatment by specially trained healthcare providers.

Which rejuvenation device should a salon choose?

There is no universal winner. The correct choice depends on the clients already entering the salon and the treatments the team can confidently deliver.

For broad everyday utilisation

Mantis AquaTight provides an understandable combination of cleansing, RF and intensive skincare.

JetPeel Pro is particularly suitable when clients value comfort, needle-free treatment and minimal downtime.

For premium treatment courses

NeoFrax fits clinics with trained practitioners and clients seeking more intensive RF-microneedling programs.

For a compact cosmetology studio

Fraxeen supports several face, body and scalp microneedling services within a focused treatment category.

For a laser clinic

MeDioStar Monolith combines recurring laser-hair-removal traffic with additional rejuvenation, acne and vascular applications, depending on its configuration.

How to build a treatment menu that keeps equipment busy

A device is difficult to sell when the price list contains only one technical treatment name.

A clearer service ladder may include:

• Introductory treatment: a comfortable first experience with limited downtime.

• Concern-focused course: a program for texture, wrinkles, dullness, post-acne or reduced firmness.

• Premium protocol: a more intensive treatment with consultation and follow-up.

• Maintenance appointment: periodic care after completing the main course.

• Phased treatment plan: compatible technologies used sequentially under a professional protocol.

Clients respond more easily to a clear objective such as improving radiance or post-acne texture than to the name of a handpiece or energy mode.

Safety must come before equipment utilisation

Every rejuvenation treatment should begin with consultation. Practitioners need to consider skin type, active inflammation, pigmentation risk, medication, recent procedures and relevant contraindications.

Laser procedures, professional microneedling and RF microneedling require particularly careful client selection. Increasing intensity simply to create a more visible skin reaction is not a responsible treatment strategy.

Before introducing a device, staff must understand the manufacturer’s instructions, infection control, aftercare and adverse-reaction protocols. Relevant education is available through  LorEmA professional training programs.

Choosing equipment with LorEmA Estetic

A device that stays busy is selected around the salon’s audience, team and service strategy.

The  LorEmA Estetic professional equipment catalogue includes solutions for independent practitioners, salons and aesthetic clinics. The team can help compare technologies, plan staff training and integrate the selected treatment into the business.

Frequently asked questions

Which facial rejuvenation device is the most versatile?

For a broad audience, multifunctional non-invasive platforms such as Mantis AquaTight and JetPeel Pro may be easier to integrate. The final choice depends on the salon’s existing services.

No. RF microneedling requires appropriate professional qualifications, device-specific training and careful client selection.

Can a supplier guarantee that the device will never sit idle?

No. Utilisation depends on local demand, positioning, pricing, practitioner skill, marketing and client retention.
