What's New!

Hello blogiverse!

It has, once again, been too long since my last post.  My apologies, I know how entertaining I am, you must have missed me!  (I kid of course).

It has been an exciting 3 months for Biopelle!  Q1 was packed with trade shows, new sales consultants and new product launches!  I have so much to tell you!

Trade shows are always exciting events for us, we get to spend time with our customers and meet new potential customers and introduce them to our products.  Many of our shows that we've attended this year have also included speakers at the podium sharing our clinical data, mainly for our Retriderm and Tensage lines.  We really appreciate our speakers who have shared these clinical findings with their colleagues.

If you haven't seen the Retriderm white paper or Tensage B&A's yet, I encourage you to visit our product fan pages and see the great improvements our products can provide.

Q1 also brought us 4 new sales consultants!  They all came to our headquarters in Detroit for a 2 week training on all of the products and hit the streets in March to start working in their territories.  They have a lot of ground to cover, many of them covering several states, so if you haven't seen them yet keep your eyes and ears open as they work to contact everyone.

Our new reps are working in the following cities/states: Chicago (including all of IL and WI), New Orleans (including all of LA, AL and MS), Miami (including all of FL) and Phoenix (including all of AZ, CO and NV).  I may have missed some states, as I said they are large territories!  These new sales consultants were a great class to teach and I think you will find that they are highly intelligent and caring and I hope that you will welcome them into your office!

And last but of course not least, we have launched 2 new products and 2 new SYNERGIES kits!

OC Eight Acne Mattifying Gel uses the same oil-absorbing Acrysorb technology as our current OC Eight Mattifying Gel and pairs it with 7% benzoyl peroxide to help fight acne and control shine.  You may have been familiar with this product as Clinac BPO, previously offered through another of our sales divisions, Ferndale Laboratories.  It is now available without a prescription and can be dispensed directly from your office!

SYNERGIES Recovery Ointment is our post-laser treatment occlusive ointment which utilizes Inflacin, a unique anti-inflammatory ingredient to soothe inflammation and speed the recovery process.  Inflacin is delivered with a QuSome liposomal delivery system to ensure that it effectively reaches the treatment area in a stable way.  SYNERGIES Recovery Ointment also includes other soothing agents like panthenol, bisabolol and sunflower seed oil in a petrolatum-free vehicle making it a great soothing and hydrating agent for post-laser patients.

If you aren't familiar with our SYNERGIES kits, they are a series of kits that combine products from different Biopelle brands that work to treat one concern.  The 2 new products above inspired the new SYNERGIES kits: Let Me Be Perfectly Clear and Time For Some R&R.

Let Me Be Perfectly Clear is an acne treatment kit that combines products to cleanse, treat and maintain healthy skin.  This kit of course includes the OC Eight Acne Mattifying Gel along with our AFA Cream Cleanser and PRESCRIBEDsolutions Line Subtractor (AHA + vitamin C).

Time For Some R&R is our Pre and Post-procedure repair and recovery kit and brings together 4 products to prepare, soothe and repair the skin before and after ablative treatments.  The regimen begins with pretreatment with PRESCRIBEDsolutions Control Tactics.  The patient will receive our Don't Be So Sensitive cleanser (also from the PRESCRIBEDsolutions line) to use before and after the treatment.  Immediately after the procedure, the patient will use our new Recovery Ointment and the kit is completed by our Tensage Intensive Ampoule treatments which help to repair and enhance the end result.

So that's what we've been up to!

Thanks for reading!  Stay tuned for more updates about Biopelle and what we're up to.  Contact your Sales Consultants for more information about the products mentioned in this blog or leave comments on our Facebook page!

3 months later...

Well...Happy New Year!

I am embarrassed by how long it's been since my last post, both on my blog and on Facebook in general.  I could certainly provide a laundry list of excuses as to why it's been so long, but that would only bore you.

The honest truth is that I set out with this grand idea to do some type of comparison of each of our products to each other, but after the cleansers, each of the serums has such a different modality that there really was no comparison.

Writer's block!

After that I was distracted by other projects and the holidays and...well, now I'm just giving you that list of excuses that I said I wasn't going to give you.

So I say Happy New Year!  I am making an official resolution to resume my blogging and Facebook status updates for 2011 so here we go!

What's new with Biopelle...

We've got some new faces out and about for us!  4 new sales consultants will be hitting the ground around the country, they are in training now.  So far we've done one webinar and I'm very excited about our new team members in Chicago, Miami, New Orleans and Phoenix, so keep your office doors open to them as they are out and about later this quarter.

We're getting ready for the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) in New Orleans (that's February 4-7).  Will you be there?  Be sure to stop by our booth #2211 and see what's new!  We'll be handing out our Eco-Friendly Grocery bags again this year with a new design.

There is a lot on the horizon for Biopelle in 2011, but I'm not really sure what I can share with you right now.  I'll keep you posted!
