SPONSORED: pHformula ARRIVES AT LUSH SKIN & LASER CLINIC
pHformula Arrives At LUSH Skin & Laser Clinic
We caught up with CAT ARMSTRONG , Clinical Director of LUSH, to discuss why this partnership is an ideal match for her clinic.
At LUSH, excellence is pivotal, and nothing is ever done by halves. Every opportunity is meticulously considered, thoroughly researched, and thoughtfully planned to align with the clinic’s core values of exceptional care and remarkable results. So, it’s no surprise that pHformula, a brand celebrated for its scientific innovation, artistic precision and long-lasting results, felt like a natural fit.
“With so many skincare brands out there, pHformula stood out as something truly unique. It’s not just another skincare range – it’s a dermatological system that focuses on skin resurfacing in a way that’s both results driven and gentle. What really sold me was the science behind it and the ability to customise treatments for a range of skin concerns. It felt like the perfect addition to complement what we already offer, giving our clients even more options to achieve incredible skin health outcomes,” says Cat.
Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments that can be harsh on the skin, pHformula offers a controlled chemical resurfacing experience. Its exclusive delivery vehicle complex, PH-DVC™, sets it apart by precisely delivering unbuffered acids rapidly into the skin. This innovative approach minimises surface irritation, optimises proton release, and delivers exceptional regenerative results without downtime.
“We’re committed to delivering top-quality, results-driven treatments that positively impact our clients’ lives. pHformula aligns seamlessly with our philosophy – it’s innovative, science-backed, and focused on supporting long-term skin health. Our mission has always been to provide the very best for our Shepparton community, and pHformula embodies that commitment by offering highly effective, personalised solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs,” said Cat.
pHformula is renowned for its extensive scope of resurfacing solutions, empowering clinicians to customise more than 50 professional treatments that effectively correct and manage its four key skin disorders: A.G.E. (cutaneous ageing), M.E.L.A. (pigment disorders e.g. melasma), A.C. (acne), and C.R. (chronic redness e.g. rosacea). Clinical treatments are supported by simple yet multifunctional homecare products which include an A.C.T.I.V.E. prescription, daily essentials and complimentary capsules SOS, VITA ABCD infused moisturisers, concentrated corrective serums and POINT peptide ointments. Each pathway addressing unique skin concerns with precision and efficacy that enables the team at LUSH to curate targeted and personalised solutions for their clients.
When looking to invest in a new brand, Cat emphasises that it’s a big decision. “I dedicated significant time to exploring the research behind pHformula, carefully reviewing its formulations and results. I invited the Australian distributor, Danielle, to the clinic to showcase the product and conduct demonstrations with my team. Following that my team and I trialled the products ourselves, so we could really understand how they worked”.
As part of her research, Cat also surprised two of her skin therapists with an exclusive trip to Barcelona, Spain, to attend training at the pHformula Art Club. This immersive experience provided them with an unparalleled opportunity to deepen their understanding of the brand’s scientific foundations while performing and experiencing the resurfacing treatments firsthand. “Their feedback and enthusiasm played a huge role in confirming that this was the right move for us and our clients,” says Cat who then got to work on designing a launch event to showcase pHformula to her Shepparton community.
It’s not just another skincare range – it’s a dermatological system that focuses on skin resurfacing in a way that’s both results driven and gentle.
“Our pHformula launch event was a truly special milestone for the clinic. We aimed to create a welcoming, interactive space where clients could connect with the brand and experience it firsthand through live demonstrations.”
The event, styled with an elegant black-and-white theme reflecting the pHformula branding, showcased the passion and dedication that Cat and the LUSH team have for delivering exceptional experiences for their clients. Guests arrived to a transportive live violin performance before enjoying a champagne lunch, an exclusive goodie-bag and an engaging education session that showcased the power of pHformula. “The educational session was a standout success, as clients loved learning how pHformula could address their skin concerns. The best part was seeing the excitement and curiosity from everyone – our clients were thrilled to have access to such a cutting-edge range right here in Shepparton, and our team felt so proud to showcase a brand we believe in,” said Cat.
Since introducing pHformula to her clinic, Cat has been delighted by the overwhelmingly positive feedback. “Clients are raving about the results – healthier, glowing skin without any irritation,” she shares. “Many have commented on how happy they are to have access to such an advanced skincare option locally. It’s been wonderful to see our clients trust the range so quickly and embrace it as part of their skincare routines.”
“pHformula has already added so much value to our clinic by broadening what we can offer in terms of customised treatments. Moving forward, I can see it playing a key role in our growth by attracting new clients who are seeking innovative, science-led skin solutions. It also strengthens the trust that our existing clients have in us as a clinic that only invests in the best”, says Cat.
“We are incredibly proud to see pHformula in the hands of Cat and her team at LUSH and to have been part of such a memorable launch. This year, we’re excited to share our passion for protons and inspire more like-minded skin specialists through our education workshops, events, and an unforgettable trip to the pHformula Art Club Barcelona in May.” – Danielle Hughes, pHformula Australia.
