PRESS RELEASE (Cape Town, January 2026)
Environ Skin Care’s unwavering commitment to advancing professional skincare through science has once again been recognised on the global stage, with the brand receiving three distinguished honours at the 2026 Aesthetic Everything® Aesthetic and Cosmetic Medicine Awards in the United States.
Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious international awards programmes in aesthetics and cosmetic medicine, the Aesthetic Everything® Awards celebrate brands, professionals and technologies that are shaping the future of the industry worldwide. Environ was recognised across three key categories:
- Top Medical Skincare Line
- Best Medical Professional Machine
- Best Medical Peels
These accolades arrive at a particularly meaningful moment for the brand, following Environ’s recent celebration of 35 years of scientific innovation, a milestone that reflects more than three decades of pioneering research, education and formulation excellence.
From its earliest beginnings, Environ has been guided by a single belief: that skin health should be supported by science that works with skin biology, not against it. This philosophy has led to the development of groundbreaking technologies and formulations that have redefined professional skincare globally, many of which were recognised by the 2026 awards panel.
Environ’s Cool Peel® Technology, honoured in the Best Medical Peels category, exemplifies this approach. Unlike conventional peels that rely on aggressive exfoliation, Cool Peel® Technology is designed to gently stimulate skin renewal while preserving the integrity of the skin barrier, delivering visible results without compromising skin health.
Similarly, Environ’s Electro-Sonic Ionzyme® DF Technology, awarded Best Medical Professional Machine, reflects Dr Des Fernandes’ visionary thinking around ingredient delivery and skin function. By combining low-frequency Sonophoresis with pulsed Iontophoresis, this technology enhances the penetration of essential actives, supporting long-term skin health rather than short-term cosmetic correction.
Receiving the Top Medical Skincare Line award further underscores Environ’s position as a global leader in Professional Skincare, a brand trusted by professionals and consumers in more than 70 countries worldwide.
“The true reward is seeing our science make a lasting difference to skin health,” says Dr Des Fernandes. “For 35 years, we have focused on understanding skin biology and translating that knowledge into formulations and technologies that professionals can rely on. Recognition of this calibre reinforces the importance of working intelligently with skin, guided by evidence, not trends.”
The Aesthetic Everything® Awards, established in 2008 and followed by a global audience of over one million subscribers, are considered a benchmark of excellence within the aesthetics industry, recognising innovation, integrity and scientific advancement.
As Environ looks ahead, these latest honours serve not only as recognition of past achievements, but as validation of the brand’s ongoing mission: to continue pushing the boundaries of professional skincare through education, innovation and science, in service of its enduring promise of A Beautiful Skin for a Lifetime.
