Rainer Bolsinger, recently appointed director of devices for hotel and spa business for Weyergans High Care, is promising to bring new technology into the spa industry as part of this new role.

Founded by medical sociologist, Rudolf Weyergans in 1983, the company is involved in the research, development and production of equipment and products, with applications in non-invasive cosmetics, medicine, fitness and sports. It trades in 43 countries.

“As a company our work is always evidence-based and we have a lot of innovative products,” said Bolsinger.

“I’m excited to introduce new technologies to the spa and wellness industry, such as intermittent vacuum therapy facials, suction pump massages – for lymphatic massages, breast or bottom enhancement – and Dermionologie. These are all effective products, but are yet to be picked up by the sector.”

Suction pump massages use a similar method to Chinese cupping but are conducted by a machine instead. Intermittent vacuum therapy is claimed to stimulate microcirculation and strengthen connective tissues such as collagen.

Derminologie equipment can be used for facials or body treatments. Treatments are designed to detox, to stimulate the skin and its regeneration process

Weyergans holds patents for both Dermionology and Intermittent Vacuum Therapy.
